@Counterfactual @Heardy if you guys need friends i use https://www.pokemongofriendcodes.com/ to look for new friends to add.

Also can put your own code on there for people to add you.
Thanks for the website tip. I just grabbed a few people I was missing from the OP (thanks guys).

Just a heads up for anyone doing the "Jump Start" research...
don't transfer the Pokemon you get from the first step reward, you'll need the bloody thing in the second step!

@maniak I am sure if you share your friend code here, all us lovely people will add you. friendship is probably one of the better ways to level up your avatar in the game.

Also, loving the BIDOOF event.

My code is 9515 9927 0914 (helstad14)

By the way, my brother's is 2665 6087 2857 (xzxZ3ROxzx)

Is everyone in the OP still playing?

Most are, some are more active than others.

2mufc0 (Karel2123): 5474 6914 2667
Counterfactual (randompicknmix): 9643 3787 4505
Damien (Damien1990UK): 7693 1176 7490
Heardy (Heardy1985): 8139 6791 5328
jrsenior (AlfRD09): 3845 2250 6069

Those send gifts pretty much every day. Some of the others in the OP may do too but just stop when reaching best friend status

@Damien we go best friends after the next interaction. Did you want to sync an egg?
Yes please. I'm so close to level 40(ish) and want to try to get there before gofest. Just need to try and coordinate a time when we're both on. Where I am now it is 8:23am UTC+1/BST. I'll be around for the next hour (up to 9:23am) but then won't be for the three hours after that (up to 12:23pm ). I'll then be available any time after that.

I guess the 'good' thing is you're basically in the timezone in Australia that is closest to the UK without being on one of the islands. UTC+8 your time right? So 3:23pm now. Let me know when you'll be around, either not including what I said above, or any time in 24 hours from now.

Lads, I need advice, please.

I've got 18/19 for this 5th anniversary collection (I need a Chimchar). I understand my best chance is to get the research task, "Make 5 great throws", or use a lure.

I've just got back from a 3-mile walk with an active incense, but didn't see one. Are lures and incense interchangeable, or did I waste my time walking around with an active incense?

Is there any other way to get a Chimchar reliably?

I got mine from the research task, I haven't seen them spawn in the wild for a long time. Best advice I could give is just keep spinning stops and try to get the research task.

Cheers. I normally keep and do whatever tasks I get, but today I've been dumping ones which aren't the magic one I need. Still waiting for it to pop.

Yeh +8 over here, so 10:12am currently. I can likely be on at any time for the rest of my day. So let me know when suits you and I'll try to check the caf and see your response this time :)

How about three hours from now? 11:00 UK time / 6:00pm your time? If too early can do 1pm my time/8pm your time. Let me know which you like.

6pm should be fine. I'll message and make sure you're about before opening.

Congrats on the Lvl40.

Did anyone manage to get a shiny Meltan during the event? I managed a 12cp one the other day, Its pathetically terrible.

Where do you live? There are maps for some cities and towns that tell you where certain research tasks are.
Thanks. I checked a few maps, but nothing seems active around me.

I walked for an hour this evening, hit about a dozen pokestops, got the right quest with 20 minutes to go, finished it with 10 minutes to go... Piplup! :lol:

Yeah, there are multiple tasks with the same thing to do but different rewards. I pay £2 a month for a map, so I could check if your area might be on it. PM me if you want me to and don't fancy revealing your location to everyone.

I did! After forgetting to open my mystery box during the last event, I remembered this time and a couple of shinies.
