Found out that PokeGO isn't getting along well with my wifi =/ i gotta use my data for the game, even at home.

What's an evolution item? You mean like candy or did they bring stones into the game now?

And what do pinapberrys do? I'm not up to date on this stuff.

I haven't been playing this since October last year.

There a some Pokemon that you can only get when using evolution items. We don't have stones yet other than the sun stone which will evolve a Gloom into a Bellossom or a Sunkern into a SunFlora. The other items are Dragon Scale, Metal Coat, Upgrade and Kings Rock.

Pinap berries make the Pokemon give more candy when caught with one active, Nanab berries calm a Pokemon down to make them move around less and make them easier to catch and Razz berries increase the capture rate, meaning you have a higher chance of capturing the it when that berry is active.

I hope that helps ^_^;; There are also 2 other berries that have also been coded into the game but not yet have a use or are findable yet. I suspect once the new gym system is in place they will have more of a role.

[Demonskid]

I wish that they'd make the Evo-Items available outside the pokestops =o=

[Quiet Man Cometh]

Thanks Awen. I've only seen the pinaps and razzs so far. Maybe when I'm at my sister's I can convince my mom to take the kids to the park near-ish by so I can raid the three stops that are there. ;). In the meantime, time to take middle growlithe for a walk while I water the garden. ;)

[Awen Moonshine]

No problem ^_^ I'm happy to be able to help ^_^

Good luck! Enjoy walking your Growlithe <3

I just hatched a Larvitar and have my Croconaw as my buddy ^_^

[Quiet Man Cometh]

0.4 kilometer jog! (I'm very out of shape so this is okay for me) Judging by my egg. I'm at 8/9 so I need to hatch these things. Almost have another candy though. That will put me at 16 or so. Going to take a bit more walking to reach my arcanine.

[Kaderin Triste]

Yay! Way to go, Quiet!
I really don't jog. Ever. But I do walk or bike about 1.2 kilometers to get to work every day during the week.
And honestly, I almost always am full up on eggs because they are too common in pokestops. XD

[Quiet Man Cometh]

Bah! I see the pokemon but there are none to be caught within the confines of my sister's house! This makes it difficult. I can tell from the silhouette that there is a lurking swinub (if I have that name right), and a bellossom (also if I have that name right). Don't care about them as much as I hoped to continue my streak.

[Quiet Man Cometh]

I see you Merrill! Come over here into the house! It's too hot to go wandering outside!

[Awen Moonshine]

Have you guys managed to check out the new gyms system and raids yet?

We managed to get out and try it at the weekend. We fought a Gengar in a raid, just my partner and me even though it was a 3 difficulty raid and managed to win ^_^ I've also managed to get on a few gyms over the weekend too, the only downside is you can only earn 50 coins per day now instead of the 100 cap it had before...

[Quiet Man Cometh]

I've seen the new gyms but I have no idea how they work.

[Awen Moonshine]

Well each gym now only allows 6 Pokemon to be in it at a time now and each Pokemon has to be different from the others currently on there.

You still battle them the same way as before against opposing teams but you can no longer train at them, but instead can feed the Pokemon berries to keep them on the gym longer. When you fight the Pokemon on the gym you now fight them in order they were put in the gym as opposed to the old system where you'd fight the weakest first.

You can now click on the gym picture and spin said picture like a pokestop. It doesn't need to be your teams colour to be able to do this but you get bonus items if it is. That is how you can get your free daily raid pass.

Raids are a new event that they've implemented in gyms. when there is going to be a raid there will be an egg shown on top of the gym with a countdown timer. Once the timer reaches 0 the egg will hatch into the Pokemon that the raid will be against. There are 4 difficulty ratings for raids and this will determine how many people are recommended to take on the raid boss plus what Pokemon will appear.

Level 1 raids will be either a Magicarp, Quilava, Bayleef or Croconaw.
Level 2 will be either Electabuzz, Exeggutor, Magmar, Muk or Weezing.
Level 3 will be an Alakazam, Arcanine, Flareon, Gengar, Jolteon, Machamp or a Vaporeon.
Level 4 will be a Blastoise, Charizard, Lapras, Rhydon, Snorlax, Tyranitar or a Venosaur


I hope this helps?

[Quiet Man Cometh]

Ah. I was out today so I took some time to walk about and did spy a raid at a nearby gym but I'm too low level to participate. It was a Vaporeon that hatched. Got some new pokemon, but I'm going to need to restock pokeballs and berries soon. Was going to go to the farmer's market this week where there are three stops and two nearby gyms, but I need to go to the city. My usual wandering park has construction going on so not to many opportunities for hunting. The local mall has nothing.

I've been hanging onto my lucky eggs and letting my candy build up before I go on an evo spree. Does anyone happen to know how many candies it takes to get a Nidoran from second evo to third? I have a bunch of candy but I want to have enough to evo him twice. Right now I have hopefully enough for one Nidoking (maybe), three Golbats (provided I get two more Zubats), Butterfree, Wigglytuff, Pigeot, three Ratticates, Cleffable, Cloyster, and Seadra. Most of these will be new entries.

Walked 0.6 km with Mighty.

I believe it's 50, if memory serves correctly, to go from second evo to third.
