    I'm deciding this snorlax doesn't count and I'm not allowed to catch it, because I always use snorlax and part of the point of this is to use weird Pokemon

    Apparently some changes have been made to Go, so swarm locations and pokemon have changed. In Toronto, it seems like there's a lot less dratini. I've also noticed that a pikachu park nearby has turned into an ekans swarm instead

    Yeah my run is going pretty well because I don't restrict leveling.

    I don't grind much, but I get a decent amount of fights in.

    Haven't lost anyone, though there have still been tense moments

    I haven't continued mine since I grinded to get Braixen evolved, but he crushed Korrina's whole team.

    I should try to evolve grinding to make the Nuzlocke challenging, but even so I've still lost five Pokemon to it already.

    i almost got my ass pushed in by Korrina's power-up punch lucario on our first battle, cause I was going out to a route with a team I wanted to level up

    thankfully a beefy meowstic bailed my ass out

    TBH I'm not really doing this for the challenge so much as I am doing it for the whole random team aspect.

    I like the concept of making do with what you have.

    Went to an actual gym, did a workout, saw that there was a rhydon nearby with ten minutes left. @Wyborn generously agreed to speedwalk over, and I think he is doubting how much I push myself at the gym because I was still able to jog. There was a cluster of twenty people on the small side street, all to find the rhydon. Mine was 30 CP... but I'm just happy I caught it. <3

    By the way, I don't know if any of you have observed this in your areas, but with the update today the rarest random pokemon spawns in my area have occurred in the most popular places to hang out for playing Go. Namely, around the most frequently visited gym (that changes colours every ten minutes) and the triple pokestop area. Hopefully that will keep up!

    Also I super wish they'll rotate the pokemon that show up at nests/swarms on an ongoing basis. Like on a monthly basis, perhaps. That'd really help me with my pokecatching...!

    Round two went significantly better, mostly because the vivillon used moves other than infestation, and my entire team survived

    That team being:
    Spike Gal the Chespin (My first chespin was Spike Boy but this one was a girl, in fact every pokemon I've caught this time has been a girl)
    Clawfire the Fletchling (who was the MVP of the fight)
    Vivillionair the Spewpa
    The Best the Dunsparce
    Lil' Bun the Bunnelby

    and I can't decide whether I want to wonder trade the dunsparce or bunnelby

    This meshes with my theory on spawns. Wide areas with higher regular cell phone data use are more likely to have pokemon, that's a given based on their previous use of that info for Ingress. Go is actually shaping that landscape right now as more people congregate regularly at those spots now. Creating a larger, concentrated hotbed of activity.

    But higher concentrations might also mean rarer mons for that given area. So if more people concentrate in an area, rarer spawns may show up over time.

    Just about all the quick moves are much closer dps-wise now it seems, with most charge moves being stronger
