I hope they do some more special events like this one. It's renewed my interest in the game again.

Maybe a Christmas one with Ice Types?

What is the lowest acceptable IV that you guys evolve? For me, I don't want to evolve anything below 90% unless it's a super common mon that I have a ton of candy of and it helps me lvl up fast like rattata or pidgey.

Its a good short boost, hopefully they will follow with a proper big update shortly, improve day to day interest. The quartering of buddy bonus time is most welcome, taking 5km done to 1.25km is a huge saving

Does anyone have this app and Deezer too? Since the update of both apps now whenever I play deezer and then open Pokemon, the volume on Deezer goes ridiculously low. As soon as I quit Pokemon it goes back to normal volume. Has anyone else had this problem and have a solution? (iPhone 6 if that makes a difference)

Unfortunately it has had no effect on me. Since the update the walking distances have gone completely up the shoot - I know for a fact I walked 5KM today as it was a route I have done many times before to hatch 5K eggs.

Pokemon Go apparently only counted 2KM of that walk.

I think it's a bit delayed. I had one where it said I had done 0 walking, put it in my pocket and then a minute later it notified me my buddy had found a candy

It's always been delayed, yes, but this one was just plain wrong. The only way I got it to count my distance at all was to constantly restart the app. I was gutted as well because I would easily have been able to evolve my Bulbasaur with the 6 candies I should have got - instead of the 3 I did.

Does anyone know the maximum slots a gym can have? There's one near me and I'd like to try to have a go but it already has 8 players in there so not sure if there's room for any more?

I too am loving this Halloween event they have going on. It's so nice to get a candy every quarter of the amount of distance required for your buddy - meant in an hour's walk I'd gotten Pikachu from 38 candy to 55 so I finally got Raichu. Similar for Wigglytuff, Dragonair, Clefable and Ivysaur.

Also dangerously close to acquiring Charizard, Gyarados, Nidoking, Machamp, Golem, Dewgong and Nidoqueen, which is really helping me feel motivated because those are among the final ones needed to complete my Pokédex.

That having been said, I think once this event wears off they need to have a killer update prepped to keep up the momentary boost in momentum, whether it be re-implementing the tracker, adding in trainer battles, giving gym battles another overhaul or even throwing in the legendaries or Gen 2, I don't know what, but they definitely need to do *something* MAJOR or people are just going to drop the game like a stone again the minute all the event bonuses wear off.

I have the suspicion this has been happening to me as well – I take the dog out for the same amount of time and to the same places as usual but don't seem to be recording as many KMs.

That aside, I have been enjoying the Halloween event. It all feels a lot more rewarding at the moment and there are suddenly Cubones everywhere when previously I hadn't even seen the silhouette of one! I hope Niantic decide to make the events a regular thing (I'd love one at Christmas).

I too hope they do one at Christmas but there aren't many ice Pokémon in the original 151, so imagine it'd just be Jynx and Seel/Dewgong EVERYWHERE with the odd Slowbro and Lapras for good measure.

Before this event I had 2 Meowth's since start of the game.

Now I have seen and caught so many I have enough candy to evolve 4 of them.

I haven't seen as many Cubones as Meowth but before this I had 1 now I have caught enough to evolve 1.

Halloween event is now over but they're bringing out an update that gives people XP bonuses and stardust bonuses if they use a Pokéstop seven days in a row and catch a Pokemon seven days in a row, basically giving people an incentive to keep using the app daily

Also Eevee is now obtainable from 5k eggs and NOT 10k eggs

Do people find Eevee hard to catch? There are an absolute tonne around where I am. I play this game very casually (I'm only Level 15 and have 65 in my Pokedex), but I've caught enough Eevees to evolve two of them!

Not at all! Quite the contrary, which is why I think they've dropped Eevee down an egg level, because as you can imagine, walking 10k to end up with another Eevee is jus the worst.

Just got a Mr Mime! then another one spawned in the same place straight away.

They still rare or did they dramatically increase spawn rate?

I have caught quite a few Mr Mimes in the last few months (enough to have 100 candies), but I have seen three Slowpokes in the last 24 hours despite not seeing one at all before – so I think maybe they tweak the spawn rates and locations occasionally.

They are not on Pidgey infestation levels, but yes I find them very common
