Okay, the results from Adventure Week. I know I'm late, but I went on a vacation afterwards. Note that for all but one species, I did not use Pinap Berries (in retrospect, I don't know why I did that):
Here's the rundown:
- 85 Kabuto Candy. I caught one Kabutops.
- 119 Omanyte Candy. Zero Omastar were caught, though there was one or two good IV'd Omanyte.
- 70 Slugma Candy. I caught several Magcargo. I stopped actively capturing all of them after 50c, unless they were over 500cp.
- 28 Onix Candy. Not too much, but oh well. I had enough for Steelix, and Steelix technically isn't a
Rock-type so hitting 50c wasn't a goal.
- 28 Shuckle Candy. Useless, I know.. BUT HECK.
- 11 Sudowoodo Candy. Again, pretty much useless.. BUT HECK!!
- 121 Rhyhorn Candy. I got quite a few Rhyhorn with decent IV's and high in level, so I'll probably evolve one. The goal was to get at least 100c, so that I could evolve a Rhydon into Rhyperior.
- 197 Geodude Candy. I just went for it.. I might've hit 200 because I think I got sloppy near the end of the week with my notes. We can't all be James Comey..
- 7 Larvitar Candy. Saw more on the Nearby, but didn't feel like going into the rain. The only one I used a Pinap on.
AND GUESS WHAT!
ON THE MORNING OF THE FIRST DAY OF ADVENTURE WEEK! AN AERODACTYL SPAWNED IN MY LIVING ROOM! YESYESYES! 1600CP+ YESYESYES!
TL;DR: Razz Berry, Ultra Ball, Curve, Great Throw.. Wiggle Wiggle. It fled.
IT FLED. IT EFFING FLED.
No Aerodactyl spawns since. Well, the boyfriend of my sister-in-law texted me that there was one in their house, but I couldn't leave mine at the time. I contemplated on using a tracker. I don't spoof, but I didn't see the harm in using a tracker for one specific goal
if I managed to get to its location on my bicycle in time. BUT NOPE. Niantic apparently killed all the trackers that week. I doubt I'll ever catch an Aerodactyl in the wild.
In retrospect, I probably should've used Pinap's on Rhyhorn. Rhydon is useful in gyms and Rhyperior would need 124 candy to fully evolve to from a hatched Rhyhorn.. Getting six candy instead of three from each low CP'd Rhyhorn would've probably boosted me up to 200 Rhyhorn candy.
In terms of overall Larvitar Candy (2 captures, one of which was Pinap'd), I currently have 55 Larvitar Candy. 69 Larvitar Candy to go.. 147.3km walked. Luckily, the first one I caught has more then 82% IV's and thus worth evolving.
@Locormus- I was in a similar boat for the Water Festival, but I saw a Lapras on radar. In a park. At night. After hours. Briefly contemplated whether it'd be worth risking, but decided against it. Hatched a Lapras not long after that. Hopefully the Aerodactyl situation is better though.
Also, wasn't aware you could catch Eeveelutions in the wild. Found a Vaporeon (a really good one) next to a Croconaw yesterday. Currently I don't have any helpful nests near me at the moment, but I was able to hatch an Elekid (giving me enough candy for an Electabuzz) and my first Phanpy! This rock type event has me hoping I'll get a bunch of Geodude and the one more Onix I need to evolve it. I have four metal coats, but not enough Onix candy because the spawner spot for them changed to Natu before I could catch the last one.
"And this is where I'd put my Steelix, IF I HAD ONE."
Honestly, I've got 8 10k eggs at the moment, but I doubt there will be an Aerodactyl among them. At least that's knowing my luck.. Last time I hatched 9 10k's, I had several Onix, several Scyther, several Kabuto, a Magmar and an Electabuzz from Pre-Baby eggs, even though the Johto Babies were added to the Egg Pool - and the only thing worthwhile was a
Chansey. And then the Valentines Day-event happened.. T.T
I've got zero Metal Coat if that cheers you up. All in all, I've had 7 King's Rock, 6 Sun Stone, 3 Updates and 2 Dragon Scales.
A sneasel nest appeared near my house! So I have a bunch of sneasels now. :B
That's actually great for when GenIV drops (eventually).. I mean you probably are going to need 50c to get a Weavile. It's one of the reasons why I'm salty I didn't catch any Tangela during the Grass-type Weekend.. 50c for a Tangrowth is pretty steep considering how rare they are.
Believe it or not, I actually have eight 10k eggs right now. I'm getting them faster than my single 3-use incubator a week that I buy with gym coins can hatch them, so my inventory just gets more and more full of them. Don't get me wrong, it's a glorious problem to have, but it's been pretty crazy.
Believe it or not, but I had 9 10k eggs.. I just didn't have any coins to spend on the incubators needed.. So I hatched one.. which turned out to be a Mantine.. Now I've been stuck with 8 10k's, though I have since gained enough coins through gyms to buy all the incubators I need.
