^^^I have a few spots where they always seem to spawn that I pass every day, and the greenway near my house is always good for about 5/mile.

I've been tossing the pineapple at them recently though, so it's sped the process up a bit.

They need to find some way to encourage more gym battling and allow newer players to even have a chance. Maybe make it 7 days max until you get booted from a gym or you take 10% more damage each day so eventually even a new player can take out some of these maxed gyms. I can't get enough revives to bother taking out a max level gym and these people have no worry about sitting in them for months collecting their gold.

4/10/2017 10:50:58 AM

Yeah gym stagnation is a legit issue. I'd say they should limit it to like 5 days, do maybe a 5 day limit and if you last 5 days give like a bonus of some sort.

That or just cap the # of people in a gym at like 5 to keep taking down a max gym simple.

Funny thing is when you see "crews" rolling together and just smashing max gyms without much issue or needing a ton of revives.

4/10/2017 1:30:11 PM

Yeah if you have a crew of people you play with it isn't much of an issue but most people dont and most gyms are maxed now and stay that way so either you spend tons of time and resources to take one down or you hope to find the rare one of your color that isnt maxed already. I like the idea of if you can stay whatever the max time is you get an extra bonus though that way those people feel rewarded for holding it that long and it incentives still maxing them out when you can.

Ready for this Easter event to start

4/12/2017 11:22:22 PM

Doesn't seem to be any confirmation of an Easter Event, just rampant speculation ranging from double XP to rarer pokemon in eggs to free/cheaper incubators.

4/13/2017 8:40:22 AM

So details confirmed now.

More Pokemon in 2k eggs.
Double candy on egg hatching.
Double XP.
Lucky Egg's 50% off.

4/13/2017 9:10:18 AM

Eh wife is out of town this weekend so video game time will be spent sitting in front of my computer not out and about walking and those perks dont really make it worth it haha

4/13/2017 9:14:25 AM

Man what a rough streak on eggs I ended up with all 9 slots filled with 2k eggs thats never happened before. I refuse to use incubators on those so may be a while till I can clear some of those out as walking to clear only one egg seems like a waste of time haha.

4/20/2017 1:39:31 PM

That was part of the Easter special, they put better ones in the 2k eggs and handed out more of them.

4/20/2017 2:19:07 PM

Yeah I hatched several 10k egg Pokemon in 2k eggs...only problem is they were all useless: Scyther, Aerodactyl, and Sudowoodo for sure.

Friend of mine's wife hatched a Lapras and Snorlax with her first 2 2k eggs in the event...such crap, haha.

4/20/2017 2:39:35 PM

I got all of these yesterday and today though is the event still going on? haha

4/20/2017 3:31:51 PM

Event should have concluded today.

4/20/2017 5:55:16 PM

Ah ok well I guess maybe I can at least expect some better stuff out of those as I slowly eat away at them haha

4/21/2017 8:40:38 AM

Yeah, apparently any eggs that you picked up during the event are still juiced.

4/21/2017 8:42:32 AM

Next event starts May 18:

Trainers,

Back in December, we collectively walked past the equivalent distance of Earth to Pluto and now, we’re on a journey past the edge of the solar system! As of May 11, the Pokémon GO community has traveled more than 15.8 billion kilometers, and more adventures still await…

Pokémon GO was developed for people to easily experience classic Pokémon gameplay on their mobile device and catch Pokémon in the real world. As a result, every day, people around the globe go outside, explore the world around them, make some new memories, and get some exercise along the way. We’d love to honor the memories created so far, and our collective journey yet to come, with the Pokémon GO Adventure Week celebration from 1:00 P.M. PDT on May 18 to 1:00 P.M. PDT on May 25, 2017.

To help you stock up for your upcoming adventure, more items will be awarded from every PokéStop you visit, and Poké Balls will be 50% off in the in-game shop. Your Buddy Pokémon is also in the adventuring spirit and will find Candies four times as fast for the duration of the celebration. Whether you’re exploring your neighborhood or an exotic new location, make sure to watch for Rock-type Pokémon such as Omanyte, Kabuto, and their Evolutions. Keep an eye out—maybe you’ll even spot Aerodactyl!

Last but not least, you'll notice an all-new avatar item has been added to your wardrobe—the Explorer’s Hat! Once Adventure Week begins, grab your new hat and head out on your journey.

We’re excited to see where Pokémon GO takes you this week. Document your journey with the Pokémon GO AR camera, post your photos on social media using #PokemonGO! As you embark on your adventures, remember to always be alert and aware of your surroundings when playing Pokémon GO and be respectful of the communities and locations in which you play.

4x buddy candy is nice. Now I only need 61.25km to get my Tyrannitar. Ugh.

5/16/2017 2:09:08 PM

YAY! caught a Aerodactyl

Celebrating the First Anniversary of Pokémon GO!

Pokémon GO

Trainers,

We’re celebrating two amazing milestones—Pokémon GO’s one-year anniversary and 750 million global downloads—and you’re invited to join in on the fun! Over the next few months, we’re hosting real-world and in-game events planned alongside some very exciting new features that will get you outside exploring the world with family and friends. Get ready for an action-packed couple of months!

To kick things off, we will be hosting the Solstice Event starting on June 13, 2017. This in-game event will feature Fire-type and Ice-type Pokémon, huge XP bonuses for throwing Poké Balls accurately, and discounted Lucky Eggs in the in-game shop. Soon thereafter, you can look forward to a new update focused on collaborative group gameplay features that will get you playing Pokémon GO in fun new ways. In preparation for these exciting features, we’ll be temporarily disabling Gyms for a short period of time.

We’re also excited to announce our first ever real-world Pokémon GO event coming your way: Pokémon GO Fest Chicago! This event will take place in downtown Chicago, Illinois, USA at the beautiful Grant Park on July 22, 2017. Join us as we celebrate the Pokémon GO community with a ton of exciting festivities. Tickets and more information for Pokémon GO Fest Chicago will be available at PokemonGoLive.com/Fest on Monday, June 19 at 10:00 A.M. PDT, so make sure to mark your calendars and follow our social media channels to be notified when tickets go live! European Trainers can look forward to Pokémon GO celebrations hosted across the continent from June through September in partnership with Unibail-Rodamco shopping centers. We'll be posting a complete schedule for these events very soon. Also, The Pokémon Company is organizing “Pikachu Outbreak”, a Pokémon event in Yokohama, Japan, in August where they’re exploring a unique Pokémon GO experience. Stay tuned for even more details surrounding each of these events in the coming weeks.

Fire/Ice event kicks off at 4pm today.

6/13/2017 2:19:15 PM

wondering why i saw two grolithes and a charmander this morning.

6/14/2017 12:35:46 PM

Yes i've already gotten 5+ growlithes.

6/14/2017 1:25:08 PM

I've stopped catching what I don't need. Only 2 I've seen in this event I needed were Swinub and Cyndaquil and I've already finished out Swinub. Now just catching Cyndaquil and occasional Charmander.

6/15/2017 8:58:40 AM

Still no Charmander here.

6/15/2017 10:31:35 AM

hopefully i will find enough vulpix to get a ninetails this event.

6/16/2017 11:22:37 AM

Might as well catch some extra swinubs now, and sneazels, they have more evolutions in upcoming releases.

Also, if you don't know:

6/16/2017 3:12:35 PM

I've seen so many Vulpix an Swinubs.

I think I need 1 more Cyndaquil. Good to know that Swinub's have future evolutions as I already have about 80 candy but still waiting for an "amazing" one to evolve.

6/16/2017 3:34:33 PM

Yeah, me too. I'm finding them everywhere, just no good ones.

6/16/2017 3:54:54 PM

Like the new system, but need to assemble a few others to hit some level 4 raids.

6/26/2017 2:20:04 PM

Who’s ready for community day?!?

2/22/2020 9:26:43 AM

Oh this is still a thing, huh?

2/22/2020 1:01:09 PM
