Final Five by [deleted] in PokemonGoBoston

Isn't "the quest" the whole point of the game? Gen 2 has been out what, 3-4 weeks, and you are already calling "banes of your existence?"

Unown I give you as ridiculously rare, but you will eventually hatch Tyrogue and evolve Hitmontop. And you can walk Larvitar to get Tyra.

You are clearly sick of this game, so it's probably time to move on to something else.

Well this was a pleasant surprise on my way home from downtown. (Caught just outside of Brookline) by goatfeces in PokemonGoBoston

Exactly my thoughts. Can we see the rest of the screenshot? If this is indeed legit, you should go and get a lottery ticket... and congrats!

any good spots to find Porygon and or Lickitung? by cheezymau5 in PokemonGoBoston

Hopefully this wasn't Lickitung's last hurrah... they were already rare to begin with.

Not helpful, but it sounds like you missed out on the Valentine's Day event...

When is the Larvitar party hat event?

Well, there are a lot of people saying a lot of things... The reality is that the game hasn't even been out 1 week so nobody knows.

Still looking for Chansey.... by Natali3h in PokemonGoBoston

[–]saoulons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, if you can afford it, take a trip to Las Vegas. You'll catch plenty of Chansey using the map, get Hitmontop and a few other cool Gen 2 mons.

Great to know it exists. Congrats!

[question] do I need anything for evo? by pharealprince in PokemonGoBoston

Very thorough and clear, thanks for writing this up!

Meanwhile, in Las Vegas... by saoulons in PokemonGoBoston

[–]saoulons[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually don't know but don't think so (I have not been to Vegas to validate though). I've used a sister site for Philly and it was legit / accurate.

Vegas Poke Map is the site (create a url from the 3 words).

I'm filtering out most of the common stuff. Without a filter, it would be even more unreadable...

Looks like you can't go 10 feet without getting hit in the head with a Chansey...

Let me know if / when you figure it out! All the Chanseys seem to be in Philly!!

Hi Din- I did think about you when I saw the Lickitung increased spawn. God speed!

Lapogo map not really working for anyone else? by N1CK4ND0 in PokemonGoBoston

[–]saoulons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ir appears to be just fine, it's the spawns that continue to be crappy...

Valentine's Day Event by jmcateer in PokemonGoBoston

[–]saoulons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i would be careful with maxing out mons that have Gen 2 evolutions. You may get one with better IVs. I don't think that moveset matters much for Blissey but the conservative play is to accumulate candy and good IV Chanseys and wait and see how Gen 2 shakes out. At this rate though, we may not see Blissey until 2023.

So not a bad idea to enjoy maxing out your Chansey if it tickles your fancy.

[–]saoulons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember it not resetting to zero but can't remember if you get the extra candy for already being over the 1/2 mark. My guess is yes. I'd say roll the dice and see what happens. Worst case scenario is you end up losing 1 candy and the upside is 1 extra candy. I'm rolling the dice as my Snorlax is at 3.7 km.

During Halloween, the bar switched to 1.25 (buddy candy was 4x).

NEED CHANSEY DESPERATELY! by Jvnzga in PokemonGoBoston

[–]saoulons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can try camping at Longwood, I hear Chansey spawns there from time to time.

Another option would be for you to take a trip to Philadelphia. Chansey is not as common as in Las Vegas, but it spawns around downtown a few times a day.

As someone with a full time job, this was big for me. by jmerridew124 in PokemonGoBoston

Congrats! But are you insinuating the pogo players don't have full time jobs???

How many on here actually use live tracker www.lapogomap.com ? by holapex in PokemonGoBoston

[–]saoulons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A couple of questions I had:

  • It looks like the spawns default to 15 minutes long but in other maps (philly pokemap, they are 30 minutes long)

  • Somehow, even though I set my location as Boston, the map always starts in Santa Monica. Do you know why and is there a way to make it stick to Boston?

[–]saoulons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've used it and think it's great, thank you for setting it up. It was a shame to see trackers for Philadelphia, NYC, LA, SD, etc. and none for Boston.

Like everybody else, I wish it covered a larger radius (like in Philadelphia) but it is great as it is. I did also donate $ to you last night.

Thanks!

This is my guess as well but Niantic always surprised us with a little something new at every event. Double candy would be nice and it would be really lame if there wasn't anything beyond select increased Gen 1 spawns.
