    The one that got away :(

    Hi guys

    So today a tried to catch a 800 cp Hitmonlee, but … It ran away! :/ i used berrys and not even a ultraball could catch it.

    So .. What are the chances that i will ever run into it again?

    My friend found a Squirtle last night, and he didn't even know who he has (He's one of those *I want Pikachu then I'm uninstalling* people). He lost it. And my phone was dead.

    While they didn't necessarily "get away," from me, I'm been trying to track down this elusive Scyther and he keeps disappearing from my nearby list.

    I really wish tracking would start working again. This mad hunt is getting a little frustrating.

    Today, a jynx. I was a passenger in a car. She went one way, we went another. I've just found she's quite rare in the wild.

    Nr the McDonalds across from Salford Crescent station, if you know the area.

    Just had an encounter with an incense Poliwag. As you've probably seen in other threads, Poliwag is one I'm desperate for right now to evolve into one of my favourite Pokémon and I only need one more Poliwag worth of candy for it. Been two days since I found a Poliwag now and this one just ran away after I wasted 4 great balls on it. Sad times :(

    A Scyther with a CP level of ??? appeared right outside my workplace when I was on break. I tried to catch it, but I couldn't even hit it with a Pokeball. It ran away.

    A decent-leveled Bellsprout kind of made me feel better.

    Yesterday I was trying to catch a Nidorino on a bus, after several attempts of using Razz berries and Pokéballs, it fled.

    I ended up catching a Nidoran♂ today though.

    Wartortle for me. :( To make matters worse, my friend caught it and she was like 5 levels lower than me. Wouldn't stop going on and on about catching it either. Erughhhhhh.

    Bliiiiiiiiimey that is one heck of a Vaporeon. Colour me jealous! Shame about the Raichu but I would be very happy with the 1.8k CP Vaporeon haha. The bonus I believe is just the Excellent catch bonus but sometimes it won't call it that for some reason. Not sure why but I've had the same happen before.

    I found a Squirtle in my cousin's driveway and it ran away. There was nothing I could do. Someone please comfort me.

    Had a Snorlax shadow in the 'nearby' tab yesterday which is a Pokémon I've been dying to get hold of for ages, but unfortunately I just couldn't find it for the life of me. A friendly guy told us it was outside the GAME shop nearby so we headed down there and took a look in every nearby alley and shop but the Snorlax just wouldn't appear. Depressing times! I'll get you yet, Snorlax...

    The first jynx I ever saw got away yesterday, caused unevenness in my Pokedex stats :(

    But then I caught one this morning, so all's well XD
