Hatched Cleffa and omg syther is evading me the one that actually popped up is glitched and it won't let me catch it

Nooo! That sucks!

This was my view when I picked him to catch on map he is not centered and stays in that spot and I throw balls at him and they go through him so I pretended he was centered and threw balls there and nope not there o. O after a few attempts I gave up and HE IS THE ONLY ONE EVER TO APPEAR FOR ME -.-

I've heard that turning AR mode on and off is helpful for Pokemon that won't center.

Forgot earlier, I finally hatched my rare eggs for a Mantine and a Larvitar. Trying for another streak. On day 2 so far. There was an unclaimed gym but I couldn't get to it as my sister was driving and there was no place to stop. Alas!

Day 3. Got one gym today after beating down the 6 or so pokemon that were in there. Tried for another but couldn't get past the stupid Blissey. It seems Valour has taken over everything around here. haven't checked the local roundabout where Mystic shows up on occasion but the village I drive through and my campus areas are all red.

EDIT: Mantine defended the gym for 5 hours! New record!

Just checked my gym hours and after a gym swap between all three teams, Mantine I had in another gym managed to stay there for two days! Fancy. :). Got two more Pokemon in gyms today. One is back after a couple hours but the other is still there. I didn't realize you could feed your Pokemon from anywhere, though it looks like the bonus is small. Passed some berries around my gym just now. I think I found the area's Instinct stronghold, too.

Also, I just had two Pokemon appear next to my house! When did that happen?

Pooched my last streak again but I'm at 4 now. Got a crocanaw from a raid today.

Yeah, the ability to use berries from a distance is one of the latest new features. I notice they've been adding more pokestops too, so there's one just barely out of reach when I'm in my apartment.

We passed a park I used to live by that now has 10 stops across two spans of grass. it's about 4 spans long. Shame we don't live there anymore.

Flareon held the gym for close to a day. Sitting at 70 something hours now, I think.

Got a Magikarp from a raid as well. Still way behind on candy though. Only 47 or so, I think.

I've kind of lost interest again. XP
Mainly because most eggs I hatch are just the same pokemon I already don't need and the ones I do need are super rare for my area. So it's just all the walking stuff which eats my battery. So I haven't been playing much.
Should try some gym battles again though. They're mildly amusing when the game doesn't crash in the middle of them.

Gizzie is currently taking a Pokemon Go break sorta (playing less) other than the daily checkin and maybe a checkpoint or so

I found two new cool similar apps
This one you download the game and get the map like Pokemon but you follow clues to hidden locations IN THE REAL WORLD and when you find one you sign the log at the place and get a gift A REAL ITEM then you put a item in the place for someone else to get like a real life swap out it looks cool but I just literally downloaded it and haven't tried it out but I saw utube videos and one person made the hidden spot a storage building and it was full of trinkets to choose from, most places will be like under a big rock by a tree at a park etc etc and you find small stuff but maybe you can get a big treasure trove near you --->

Then for the kitty lovers we have Garfield Go
once again Pokemon format but Garfield the orange comic cat (your trainer on Pokemon) hunts (Pokemon) treasure chests instead and you can even win GIFTCARDS and Garfield stuffed toys along with in game stuff like tokens etc and you feed Garfield too and he has clothes etc so far I found him a hat to wear it looks cute

I think Niantic did geocaching stuff before asked about Pokemon Go. I know it's not a new thing but I've never tried it.

7 day streak today! I got a fast tm and no idea what I'm supposed to really do with it.

I'm holding a gym! I'm holding a gym! And I have back-up, too! I think that's a first.

Managed to hold a gym for 20 hours, before raiders chased me off. Now there's a Garados parked there and lightning is my weakest element. Got enough coins to expand my backpack and still have 100 coins left over.

Does anyone know if the appraisals on the pokemon reflect much? Like is a pokemon that has room for improvement that much weaker than a pokemon that can "battle with the best of them?" Thinking when it comes to evolution. I often find the pokemon that appraise better have a slightly lower CP than others I've got. I'm wondering how much it matters.

Appraisals measure the Pokemon's highest stat and the Pokemon's overall stat total. For two Pokemon of the same species and level, the one with the better appraisal should be better, although CP may not necessarily reflect that because CP values offense more than defense.
