I've heard of consistent daily snorlaxes at a parking lot for a safeway, which has a pharmacy in it too. anecdotally confirmed.

Interesting. Would like to hear if anyone else has some anecdotes!

Also, just caught another one, 1042 cp what the gently caress. It's raining low CP snorlax. Nowhere near a pharmacy this time. Make that three in the past 24 hours.

I have never visited a Safeway, nor do I frequent Pharmacies. I also have never seen a Snorlax. Coincidence?

I've been using this one. With the latest version it works great.

I'm struggling to get this to work. I got an API key and everything, but when I hit start server it flashes the map for a split second then i get "Something went wrong, check javascript console for technical details". Buuut I don't know poo poo about javascript so that's useless to me.

I get that every time but then I close the error popup and it works fine.

It's not a popup though.



It's the whole window, no way to "close" it.

Only thing i can think is that I generated the API key wrong or something. The instructions on how to get it don't quite match up with the google interface any more but I got a key from it.

Go into the Google developer console for your project and search for the Java api and make sure it's enabled

The only time I have ever seen a Snorlax in the wild (on my google throw away while PTC was down in the beginning) was in a Kroger Parking lot. Which coincidentally has a drive thru pharmacy.

Although I also remember that chart from one of the first few days where someone posted a list of what 'area' spawns what. And Normals were super high percentage for "parking lot"

The charmander hot spot around here is in a huge parking lot. It's funny to see little groups walking back and forth, crisscrossing the empty lot.

I walk to a Kroger like a mile away for my shopping. It's got a pharmacy. It's surrounded by 3 gyms. Never seen a wild Snorlax in my life.

Spawns round my town in the UK are the same as they've always been since the start of July. I've never seen a wild Snorlax.

I've also never seen a wild Charmander, Ekans Pikachu, Sandshrew, Clefairy, Diglett, Growlithe, Abra, Machop, Ponyta, Doduo, Onix, Exeggcute, Cubone, Hitmonlee, Hitmonchan, Lickitung, Chansea, Tangela, Scyther, Electabuzz, Magmar, Pinsir, Lapras, Omanyte, Kabuto, Aerodactyl or Dratini.

Meanwhile I'm catching 40-50 Drowsies a day sitting at work, so I've an army of 90%+ IV Hypnos with optimum movesets waiting for trading to become a thing.

I've seen a spike in Drowzee spawns recently near me. There's a ton of them everywhere. Useless bastards. Only good thing is it means a bunch of mediocre Hypnos sat on gyms which I can knock down pretty easily.

Oh my god I had this bug like 3 times last night. The worst was when I ran for a jigglypuff, app froze (didn't even error, just whiteballed) and I had to restart the app. Came back and it was a zubat.

I was at EPCOT yesterday, and saw that the Mexico pavilion is a gym. It was red, so I tapped on it to see what I could see, and found there was a spot. I put my Flareon in there, then immediatly grabbed my 10 free PokéCoins.

I also caught a Charmander, a Psyduck, and more copies of ones I already have, and hit a lot of Pokéstops there and at Magic Kingdom. It was a good day.

Oh darn. Maybe the Pokemon Go team/computer thinks the safeway is still there. Is it an empty building or a sobeys now or what?

Also I've been looking for cluster spawns, I may have just found the motherlode. I haven't seen anything like it in the city, Deacon's Corner on the tranny highway had 3 weedles/3rattata/1horsea, and 10 minutes later I see 3 pidgey, 3 weedle 2 rattata 1 horsea, all in one scan radius, and a jiggly and eevee nearby. I think I'll check it out today. https://pokestumble.com/#49.82075,-96.93432,19z

I had no less than five Magikarp on the screen at once earlier today on my walk down by the creek near where I live. Just a creek overrun with gasping, flapping orange fish. Naturally I caught them all so there'd be room for more later!

Is there any advantage to using an evolved form as your buddy? I'm 20 candies short of a Machamp, but wonder if it's worth using the Machoke instead of a Machop.

Oh man! Niantic accidentally turned on the "How about more than 5 pokemon?" switch in my area.

Just in a half hour I found Cubone (one of my gen 1 faves), Staryu, Koffing, hatched a Voltorb, and caught a bunch of other things I already had, but I can always use the candies. All of the named ones were brand new here except for Staryu, which I only saw once a few months ago. I'm up to 57 registered and seen now. Very slow goings, but still trying.
