Progress

After a lot of server downtime I managed to spend a couple of hours on Go today. Unfortunately it was a slow day for progress as the village seemed to have a scarce supply of Pokémon available. There weren't too many highlights from today but I found another 10 KM egg, made some more progress on my current one, and most importantly hatched a cute little Sandshrew!

Spoiler:

Couldn't be much more chuffed with him :D

Progress

SO MUCH DOWNTIME! I sent many hours today trying to get Go to work but unfortunately I could make barely any progress at all with how awful the servers were being. I managed to catch a small handful of Pokémon (nothing useful!) and make a tiny amount of progress on my eggs. I have a 2 KM egg which is almost about to hatch so hopefully that becomes something other than a Rattata, and my second 10 KM egg is only about 1.5 KM away from hatching too. I managed to get a new medal today, silver rank of the Collector medal, but otherwise today was just a small amount of exp grinding by evolving wild Rattata and Pidgey from my back garden to try and level up faster. Hopefully tomorrow we'll have more stable servers and manage to make some real progress again!

Also my polar bear got in a fight with a Magikarp...

Be sure to keep us updated on what your 10km egg hatches into! 8) Can't wait to hear what you get.
Just hatched a 2 KM egg into a Caterpie if that counts as interesting? Pretty happy with that honestly because now I have a 207 CP Caterpie which is just badass if I do say so myself.

The Magikarp clearly won the fight.

How did your phone do after having turned off lots of notifications?
Unfortunately I've not really had much chance to test that out yet! The servers have been down soooo much recently that it's a task to even spend 10 minutes on Go without it crashing. I'll be heading out tonight for a few hours though so hopefully I can update you then. Also just had a portable charger arrive in the mail today so it's time for some intense catching ^^

I'll also be curious to hear about the model of charger you got and how you like it. I bought one back on Amazon Prime Day (don't know if that was an international event or not, but assume it was). So far, I haven't been terribly impressed with the one I got though. It doesn't seem strong enough to increase my battery life WHILE playing Pokemon--which was kindof the point, in my mind.

The one I bought is called RAVPower I believe. I won't link it as we can't do that here but it's called "RAVPower 16750mAh Portable Charger External Battery Pack". The relevant specifications I can see on the Amazon page say:
  • 4.5A Output: Highest output in the market, featuring a 4.5A total output capable of simultaneously charging 2 tablets, making it faster and more powerful than the rest.
  • Exclusive iSmart Technology: Charge faster and smarter than others, automatically detects and delivers the optimal charging current for any connected device- ensuring the fastest and most efficient charge.
  • Huge capacity: 16750mAh charges an iPhone 6 or iPhone 6s almost 6 times, a Galaxy S6 almost 4 times or an iPad Air once. Safely recharges with a 1.5 amp or higher output charger (most phone chargers have only 1 amp).
I don't know what any of the above actually means but I've had Go loaded for a long while now and the battery is gradually increasing so I'd say it's working a treat so far! I got one with two ports as I play Go a lot with my boyfriend and we'll share it but it seems perfect so far and charges sooo quickly without having anything loaded. I'm just impressed it's managing to go positive on battery with it up honestly :p

Added a fair few today! From memory there was Magnemite, Butterfree, Diglett, Poliwhirl and Gengar - 4 more than last entry so we're making some progress :D

Caught: 55
Seen: 55

Progress

It's been a good day guys ♥ The day started off very iffy as one of my 10 KM eggs hatched - it was a second Magmar and a pitifully weak one at that, boo! Once I'd woken up a bit a took a 15 minute drive down to visit my grandparents and found some pretty great stuff; a wild Diglett popped up and decided to join my team and I racked up a few other Pokémon including a 542 Eevee now waiting to be evolved. Still no Oddish but I'm making progress now! Whilst driving I happened to see this little darling appear but unfortunately we drove by too quickly to encounter him:

Spoiler:

Once I'd got back home I decided to head out again a few hours later and spent two hours searching around the village for Pokémon. Before leaving I happened to spy a Magnemite in my back garden which was an instant bonus for the night and then shortly after I found a cute little Poliwag sat outside of the closed pub - I instantly captured him and used his candy to evolve into a Poliwhirl and boy did that feel good! The trip out was then pretty tame all around, catching bucket loads of Caterpie (which is a tad unusual for this area) and attempting to hunt down silhouettes all hiding behind the 3-step glitch. We figured there wasn't much point staying around any longer as we decided to head home, until...

Spoiler:

... this little beauty appeared! A wild Gengar hopped out from behind a tree and challenged me to a battle as I quickly took him down with ease and claimed him for my own. 20 Gastly candy and 17,000 Stardust later I am now broke as can be, but with an awesome new 984 CP Gengar to show off! With renewed determination we headed into the center of the village to gather some items at PokéStops (+3 eggs ♥) and challenge the gym, claiming it in the name of Team Mystic.

Spoiler:


(Pics not from my phone so excuse the French!! I'm in the middle, right-hand side leading the gym is my boyfriend's 1,300 CP Vaporeon, and I thought I'd include the 3rd trainer's name because we both laughed out loud at it)

The rest of the night was spent chilling outside until we got too cold and came back home. Once I'd made some food it was time for an evolving spree netting me around 10,000 exp and a cool new Butterfree.

Spoiler:

Once I gather up some more Stardust I'll add this guy to my main team but for now it's finally time to rest!

Goals
  • Catch one more Poliwag to evolve into Poliwhirl. Hoorah!
  • Hatch my second 10 KM egg; Aerodactyl please! gdi Magmar .-.
  • Hoard Magikarp until finally getting a Gyarados.
  • Find a wild Oddish.
  • Hatch my third 10 KM egg! 5.7/10 KM.
  • Catch one more Eevee to evolve into Flareon.
  • Reach trainer level 20 for Ultra Ball spam!
  • Farm Stardust to train up some Pokémon.

Caught: 61
Seen: 61

Progress

Another great day! I'm super tired after today's catching spree but oh boy did I get a lot done today. I'll keep this entry short but I managed to hatch the 10 KM egg I've been saving for days and oh boy a I glad I did; here was the result:

Spoiler:

She hatched around 1,500 CP and then I stuffed her cute little face with candy and stardust until she couldn't take any more. Strongest Pokémon I've had to date! Another addition to the team today came from evolving my old Eevee, 542 CP, into this beauty:

Spoiler:

Feel a bit bad for her being instantly out-shadowed by Lapras but hey, at least she's on the team! I then raised some of my team's levels a tad and caught/evolved a new Pidgey into an even stronger Pidgeot. Whilst wandering around the town I ran into several PokéStops and beefed up the local gym which now proudly has Team Mystic's logo spouting from the top of it again. Unfortunately this happened before I hatched the Lapras so I could only leave poor S'more in there for now! Still, she should be a challenge to take down. Whilst walking around I managed to run into a wild Tentacool, a Voltorb and best of all, a wild Electabuzz - talk about lucky!

Spoiler:

Throughout the day I also hatched a few eggs. Here's what we got:

2 KM: Rattata (boo!)
5 KM: Ekans (pretty cool!), Magnemite (very cool!), Staryu (boo, got too many!), Koffing (pretty cool!)
10 KM: LAPRAS ♥

That's about all for today; 2 hours of walking and 5 KM later it's time to rest. Until tomorrow!

Goals
  • Hoard Magikarp until finally getting a Gyarados.
  • Find a wild Oddish.
  • Hatch my third 10 KM egg! 5.7/10 KM. - Lapras achieved :D
  • Catch one more Eevee to evolve into Flareon. - Pyro lives ♥
  • Reach trainer level 20 for Ultra Ball spam! - Ultra powerful!
  • Farm Stardust to train up some Pokémon.
  • Look for more 10 KM eggs!
  • Hatch or find an Aerodactyl.
  • Reach trainer level 25; next milestone!
  • Find an area which naturally has Sandshrew spawn.

Progress

Trainer level 21, woohoo!

Another trip into town, another great day! Spent the day in town celebrating my boyfriend's birthday so we went around a railway museum (fun...!) and then went out for a fancy Italian meal; all the while collecting rare Pokémon of course! Still no Oddish to be seen but oh boy did I get a lot of cool stuff today, and a LOT of eggs. Hatched some really cool stuff like a Vulpix and a Pikachu and now feeling pretty good about my Pokédex. Pretty sure we found out that the shopping arcade we were in is a Jynx nest so that's cool to know if we ever need any more - oh boy were there a lot of Jynx there... Then there was also this:

Spoiler:

It felt like an apocalypse was underway seeing all the Drowzee writhing around in front of us, maps full up with them and not being able to step 5 metres without being ambushed by dozens of yellow blobs. It was a great day out nonetheless and caught some pretty nice things like a wild Haunter and a Machop whilst also spamming PokéStops to collect a whole bunch of random eggs. Got a new 10 KM egg on the go now after today which is already half hatched so definitely looking forward to seeing what that becomes! We did some gym fights too and generally roamed around the village for a few hours at night but nothing too exciting happened, outside of seeing some random drunk girls fall over...

Throughout the day I also hatched a lot of eggs. Here's what we got:

2 KM: Pikachu (hooray!), Magikarp (woop), Pidgey (boooo!), Caterpie (ehhh)
5 KM: Staryu (ehhhh), Staryu (ehhhh x2), Paras (woo, evolved!), Nidoran-m (woo, evolved!), Nidoran-m (again?), Vulpix (hooray!), Psyduck (always him...), Venonat (wooo!), Krabby (yay, evolved!)
10 KM: None :(

C'est tout! Tomorrow we'll hopefully have the exciting 10 KM egg hatch and I'll be in a different part of town for a family outing so let's see what we can find... Until next time!

Goals
  • Hoard Magikarp until finally getting a Gyarados.
  • Find a wild Oddish.
  • Farm Stardust to train up some Pokémon.
  • Look for more 10 KM eggs!
  • Hatch or find an Aerodactyl.
  • Reach trainer level 25; next milestone!
  • Find an area which naturally has Sandshrew spawn.
  • Hatch my next 10 KM egg; 5.6/10 KM.

Shorter update today as I've not had too much time to get out much over the last two days! I've spent the last two days around the village, mostly heading back and forth between my house and my grandparents' place to look after them which has resulted in limited Pokémon catching time as they live up in the isolated countryside. I've caught a fair few Zubat, many Pidgey and spent today at a local garden centre which for some reason was swaming with Bug-type Pokémon - caught over 20 Weedle and enough Venonat to reach 46 candy so that'll be a new Pokédex entry soon for Venomoth. I've not added anything new to my team or the Pokédex yet but hopefully that'll change tomorrow. Hatched a few eggs too and got a Bulbasaur from one of them (which unfortunately was my starter!) but the 10 KM egg from previous posts is still underway; about 2.5 KM left on it now.

Tomorrow I'll be heading into town with some lures and some incense so let's see how many Pokémon we can hoard up!

Caught: 73

Progress

Trainer level 22, making a lot of progress now!

Spent a lot of the day here:

Spoiler:

Four PokéStops with four lures activated just outside of a Subway restaurant for around two hours - this is what I call productive Pokémon training. Caught more Pokémon here than you could shake a stick at and got a huge bunch of Pokéballs and eggs along the way. The Pokémon around here weren't too special - a lot of Gastly, a lot of Pidgey and a lot of Zubat, but it all adds up and counts towards exp so anything is good right now. Saved up all of these Pokémon for a massive evolving spree at the end of the day and got a huuuge bunch of experience from that! We then visited a cute park we found near the town centre:

Spoiler:

Tried my hands at some Pokémon photography and... quite pleased with the results! The park area was beautiful with a wonderful lake in the middle and quite a few cool Pokémon around so we spent a couple of hours there collecting a bunch of Eevee and Venonat whilst taking in the sights - only one Venonat left to go until I can evolve into one of my favourite Pokémon, Venomoth. Lots of walking, lots of PokéStops and lots of eggs made this a really fun day overall and it's definitely a place we'll re-visit soon; this exploration is one of the greatest things about playing GO. Came home afterwards and went on a huge Lucky Egg powered evolving spree, totalling around 36k experience in the space of half an hour with countless new Kakuna and Pidgeotto introduced to the world!

And once again we hatched a lot of eggs; here are the results:

2 KM: Pikachu (another, yay!), Magikarp (more candy!), Pidgey (boooo!), Pidgey (more boooo!), Rattata (BOOOO!), Weedle (could be worse)
5 KM: Ponyta (hooray, new Pokémon!), Paras (kinda cool), Tentacool (pretty cool), Ekans (enough candy to evolve!), Shellder (tonguetastic!), Drowzee (does anyone need more of these?), Nidoran-f (Nidorina time!), Magnemite (more candy!), Gastly (Haunter time!)
10 KM: Magmar (ughhhh not again)

And that about wraps it up for today! Until next time ♥

Goals
  • Hoard Magikarp until finally getting a Gyarados.
  • Find a wild Oddish. Yaaay, Oddish finally so cute ♥
  • Farm Stardust to train up some Pokémon.
  • Look for more 10 KM eggs!
  • Hatch or find an Aerodactyl.
  • Reach trainer level 25; next milestone!
  • Find an area which naturally has Sandshrew spawn.
  • Hatch my next 10 KM egg; 10/10 KM. Stop giving me Magmar!
  • Catch one more Venonat to evolve into Venomoth.
  • Catch enough Oddish to evolve into Gloom.

Just a quick update to say I've made hardly any progress recently which is a big shame! The village just seems void of any new Pokémon recently so I've been trying my best to catch what I can to power-level before heading into the city but progress is slow for now. On Monday I'll be heading into town to see what I can catch and check out an area which I believe should be a Scyther nest, but for now this guy is the only big progress I've made:

Spoiler:

Bellsprout aren't at all common in my area so it'll be a while until he evolves, but oh boy will he be strong when he does!

A full update should be coming on Monday once I have a bit more progress to show so stay tuned. Until next time!

Weepinbell looks so derpy. He also always reminded me of Homer Simpson. That's not a good combo!

Nice one though. 8)
Victreebel is one of my favourites so I'll be overjoyed when he finally evolves - looks like it might take a while though as I've only ever found one Bellsprout naturally so far haha. Weepinbell is certainly a unique one but I love him for that derpiness ♥

Victreebel is also a favorite of mine. I don't have a good Weepinbell base yet, though... Had a 900+ Weepinbell like yours in my sites a week ago but it broke out of my pokeball and ran. =(

Caught: 83
Seen: 84

Progress

Still level 22 but getting close to 23 now!

Had a lot happen since the last update but only really over the course of yesterday. My village doesn't seem to offer much in the way of catching new Pokémon anymore so yesterday I met up with a great old friend and had a wonderful day catching Pokémon in the local town and around the lake we have nearby. We managed to take down countless gyms with the record being three held at once before they were taken back but unfortunately I was a bit dim and chose to cash in the bonus on the first one! I mostly used my 1,800 CP Lapras for taking on the gyms and oh boy is she strong after the patch - can anyone say 2HKO Blizzard? Also hatched this lil' guy whom I am thrilled with:

Spoiler:

Made a decent amount of Pokédex progress throughout the day with a lot of eggs leading to a lot of evolutions and I picked up some really cool new team members through it. Contrary to the section above, my current team is really comprised of my top 10-12 Pokémon as I've found they all have some interesting uses and work well against different types of Pokémon so here's the grand list:

Spoiler:

And once again we hatched a lot of eggs but too many to remember! Here are the notable results:

2 KM: SO MANY WEEDLE
5 KM: Meowth (evolved into Persian!), Vuplix (more candy!), Ponyta (so close to evolving!), Tangela (very happy about him!), Paras (evolved :D), Goldeen (evolved!), Geodude (evolved!!), Venonat (evolved!!!)
10 KM: Nada :(

That's all for today folks, until next time! ♥

Goals
  • Hoard Magikarp until finally getting a Gyarados.
  • Farm Stardust to train up some Pokémon. Almost at 100k!
  • Look for more 10 KM eggs! Got plenty!
  • Hatch or find an Aerodactyl.
  • Reach trainer level 25; next milestone!
  • Find an area which naturally has Sandshrew spawn.
  • Catch one more Venonat to evolve into Venomoth. He's cute ♥

Caught: 85
Seen: 86

Progress

Finally hit level 23, hooray :D

Not an exceptionally productive day today but I did get a decent bit of progress done. Went out into the village for a few hours and rounded up some Shellder to power up my Cloyster with, then did a big evolving spree when I got home which just boosted me into level 23 through evolving two new species for me - Ivysaur and Seadra. Took down the local gym with my Lapras 1v3ing and claimed it for Team Mystic and collected a few more 5 KM eggs to start hatching. Made some good progress on my current 10 KM eggs, one of them only needs about 0.4 KM until it'll hatch and the other hatched into this monstrosity...

Spoiler:

At least I'll have enough Magmar candy for when Magmortar is finally released? :p

Hatched a decent couple of eggs today too, here's what we got:

2 KM: Bulbasaur (enough to evolve into Ivysaur!), Pikachu (up to 31 candy now), Spearow (not great but evolved into a 1076 Fearow, not bad!)
5 KM: Shellder (Cloyster food :D), Krabby (boo!)
10 KM: Magmar (kill me pls)

I'll post later if the second 10 KM egg manages to hatch whilst sat on my table, otherwise that's all for today. Until next time! ♥

They just hatched! The 5 KMs ended up being...

Overall pretty darn happy with both of these, I adore both of the Pokémon and I want a lot of candy for each of them to get them as strong as possible for using on my team haha. Time to work out if Tangela is worth training...

Squirrel's BIG Adventure!

August 13th...

Current Team

Only real difference is adding a cool new team member; meet Noodle the 80% IVs Tangela! Used a lot of Stardust on this guy and two Tangela eggs worth of candy but I think he's worth it! This is the max CP he's able to reach at my trainer level but he feels pretty strong regardless so I'll be using him for a good while and keeping him topped up if I level up. Love this little guy ♥ Also a much stronger Cloyster!


Mr Burns 1284 CP

Noodle 1184 CP

Amy Pond 1806 CP


Derren Brown 1267 CP

Mrs Polarete 1353 CP

S'more 1641 CP

Pokédex

Gloom added, woohoo! Still need that Porygon...

Caught: 86
Seen: 87

Progress

Still level 23 for now, not a whole lot of exp gained!

Unfortunately I haven't made a whole bunch of progress since the last update - I've been out a fair few times around the village but it's proving very tough to actually find anything new, or even find enough of an uncommon Pokémon in order to evolve it. I shan't give up hope yet but progress has of course slown down whilst this is an issue! The progress I have made was finding this guy in the wild:

Spoiler:

There were also a few evolutions in order to gain exp and some more egg hatching but nothing really notable from either of those. Hatched two 10 KM eggs which I spoke about in my last post but needless to say they were a tad disappointing! No 10 KM on the go right now which is a shame but I've got a few 5 KM underway so we'll see what they hatch into. Managed to hatch both a Koffing and an Ekans earlier today both with decent CP values so that's good news! Also been taking over a few gyms and leaving this little guy to defend them:

Spoiler:

I'll leave a medal update down below as it's been a while but that's all the news for now. Until next time! ♥

Nice Tangela! Is Noodle now a mainstay in Squirrel Squad™, or will he be replaced by Vileplume once you've attained enough Oddish candies? Either way, that's a pretty sweet team you've got there (slightly jealous of your Cloyster, ha).

KUTGW? XD

Noodle will hopefully be permanent from now on! I do have a Pidgeot and a Golbat at higher levels than him but he's more than strong enough to pull his weight so I use him instead haha. Main problem is that this is his Max CP right now and it's a little bit underwhelming so I'm just hoping he can keep up with the rest of them in several levels time XD Vileplume takes more of a priority but it'll be soooo long until I get one of her that it's not worth thinking about yet, I fully expect poor Noodle to be basically obsolete by then but honestly I'll probably just keep both! And Cloyster is OP <3
