but equally I don't bother catching one when I'm out and about, not worth wasting my limited data and battery on.
But then it all adds to getting your XP up and collecting those all important candies if you haven't already hatched/caught or evolved and also stardust if your into levelling up the CP of your Pokemon.
Take pidgeys for example you get 4 candies for every 1 pidgey when you transfer them so for every 4 pidgey you can evolve which boosts up your xp.

If I'm playing at home or on wifi I normally will but I'm on limited data and my battery is crap, no point wasting my time when I'm out and about. Last weekend I decided to catch everything I saw (all the vermin) and evolve what I could. It got me to the next level but it was incredibly dull. Oh look another Rattata, now it's a Ratticate, transfer, wash rinse repeat. I need candies for the rarer pokemon, I am abundant in candies for rattatas, weedles and pidgeys.

I'm not that fussed about hitting max XP asap, I just want to have fun. Wasting pokeballs on crappy pokemon isn't fun.

Does anyone have Muk? I've seen it 5 times in the last 2 or 3 weeks, all 900 or 1000, i throw 2 or 3 balls at it and then it's gone. I was on level 19 and now on level 20 so i thought i could catch it, obviously not

I bought myself a battery pack the other day, £8 from Primark for the highest capacity they do, it's certainly come in handy of late.

I've not seen him but have you tried feeding him a couple of times before and between throwing Great Balls.

I tried with 1 berry. I don't even like Muk but it's fast becoming my Moby Dick of Pokemon

Has anyone else found that since the last update you barely ever get 10km eggs? I used to get them regularly, now I've had 1 in week despite going past plenty of stops.

I'm only had 2 since I started the game and I'm now on level 22 I seem to only get 2km eggs at the moment

A couple of updates the game needs at some point, the ability to transfer eggs and they need to make it so rattatas, pidgeys and wheedles can't hatch from eggs

What are others playing for at the moment?

To get the most powerful Pokemon possable before evolving ect or just to get a full Pokedex.

For me I just want a full Pokedex then I will work on waiting until I find/hatch the maxed out ones.

Full pokedex for me. I'm not too fussed about taking on gyms at the moment but who knows, that could change.

Not entirely pointless, you get to claim 10 coins from the shop for everyday you are joined to one.

I've only ever had 3 and i was in Sydney playing it the first week before the rest of the world. It's said the eggs are basically completely random and i believe it.

That never happens, always somebody waiting to take it over.

It was spooky, after I posted I've now had 2 10km eggs today. So sounds I was lucky early on, I got them as regularly as the 2 and 5km initially.

As for what I'm playing for, Pokedex, and specifically eggs unless I go to a new area where I'll see what I can find. Given you get extra candy for Pokemon from eggs, I kinda cant be bothered catching them in the wild, unless you are finding new ones or rare ones.

The only exception is Magikarp, as I'm over 3/4 the way to get an evolution to Gyrados.

I had two 10k eggs today too, I've got 4 sitting in my collection at the moment

Why would you expect it to not be taken over within a matter of minutes, just add any Pokemon and get the coins if you see a gym of your colour.
The timer resets 24 hours later so you can collect another 10 coins at another gym.
That's what I do when I find a yellow gym.

I generally collect between 40-50 coins a day, I don't think I'd bother going out every day if it weren't to do the gym sweep. I normally do a sweep and then end up staying out a bit longer to hit some pokestops to max out my items and hatch some eggs.

I'm now trying to find decent IV poliwag. I'm up to around 350 candy but have nothing better than ~60%. Hoping to roll a bubble/hydropump wrath and then I can add another pokemon to the list I've maxed out.

There's 2 or 3 pokemon in my pokedex I can't get rid of, if I select them the whole game freezes, I crash out then it doesn't work again until I restart my phone very frustrating.

Anyone having problems today? It seems to be running really slow to the point of being unusable. Checked my phone and its memory and doesnt seem to be that.

You feel grateful it wasn't a 2201 Lapras?

Same, Grimer and Ghastly immediately crash my game when I select them on either the Pokemon screen or the Pokedex. Presuming it is an error with their animation that will be patched out.

I hope so. One of them I'm not looking to transfer out yet as it's my only one of that type, but the other two I want to transfer as I have better duplicates and I need the candy

I'm getting a bit annoyed at my walk home as there are no pokemon until I get close to my house, more than a mile walk and not a one. I can't change my route without adding too much onto the walk (I just want to get home after work, don't want to drag the journey home out). It's good for hatching eggs but it would be nice to see something.

Also I hatched a pidgy this morning on the way to work, that shouldn't be allowed

I've just had the new update install. Not sure I'm too impressed with the 'Appraise' feature; it doesn't seem to tell me anything I couldn't work out for myself fairly quickly. Am I wrong? I'd like to be wrong.

Caught 6 Doduo today at Hampton Court, and before today I'd never even seen a Doduo on the "Sightings/Nearby" feature, so now I'm halfway towards a Dodrio already.

Also caught 4 Charmander, 2 Pinsir, 5 Eevee, 4 Magikarp, a Magmar and a Dratini, so now I'm on 101 Caught and Seen.

All in all, pretty good day.
