That would be hilarious if they actually did that.  

The move, "Stool Throw" alone would make it worth finding that.

I think I might have found a 'mon to replace my 3,350 DB/DC Dragonite as my best attacker.

Of course now I have to find more Larvitar candies to power him up and those aren't exactly easy to come by.

I don't know if it was due to the force stops, but the GPS has finally been somewhat reasonable the last 3-4 days. It follows me as I walk, though it often gets a mind of its own and thinks I'm a block west of my actual location, and sometimes is averse to PokeStops. But I was able to refill my bag and battle a gym for a bit, and have enough balls to feed the grinder.

Are pokestops not giving out special items anymore?

The first week, I got 2 dragon scales, a metal coat, and an up-grade all within 100-200 pokestops.

I've hit 500-1000 pokestops since, and zero special items.

And is there a Mantine/Dratini event going on that I'm not aware of?  My last 6 10km eggs have given me 3 of each.

It all comes down to the RNG,  but it seems like, on average, it's 1 item for every 300 spins.

And as far as your Mantine/Dratini complaint goes, I hatched the most useless 10 km 'mon about 10 mins ago and would have loved to have 16-32 Dratini candies instead.

I understand not having all 10 km hatches be Larvitar, Snorlax, Chansey, and ice/ice Lapras, but there's no excuse to have a 'mon that's so bad the majority of people transfer it immediately after it hatches.

Awesome. My wife and stepdaughter each caught one today, my wife already had a couple but I've been playing since July and still don't have a single Snorlax. :-/ And I slept through her text letting me know there was one hanging out at Target a few blocks from the house. At least I can feel like I'll get another chance now.

Does anyone else rename their Pokemons to keep track of which ones are in which gyms? It's a simple way to help me figure out where they get sent back from when they get kicked back out.

Understandably a lot of players are pissed off how Niantic removed all Snorlax for 99.99% of their player base for weeks so they could promote an area where 0.01% of them live. A day or two, okay, but weeks is pretty ridiculous.

As far as remembering which gyms my pokemon are in: I just take a screenshot with my phone of my 'mon in the gym and then when it gets knocked out I delete the pic.

Oh don't worry, I think I've already hatched 3 (maybe 4?) Gligars out of 10km eggs so far.  If I ever hatch a Sudowoodo, I'll probably throw my phone out the window.

I don't understand how those 2 are 10kms when they're so plentiful in the wild.  Only Eevee was easier to find/catch when it was a 10km.  Gligar and Sudowoodo are even worse 10kms than Scyther and Pinsir were.

I would rather Grimer and Porygon be 10kms, since they're so hard to find in the wild anyway.

We catch a couple Grimers a week at our usual playing spot. Larvitars too.

Ditto the comments on potions vs. balls. I've been battling like a mofo this week and need some potions to heal my army but the award rate looks way down.

Speaking of Dittos: Caught #62 yesterday. Can anyone tell me WTF the things are good for?

For the love of God don't complain about not enough potions. The last time that happened they tweaked the drop rates and it was horrible. You couldn't get balls anymore.

For the first time I used my Bite/Stone Edge Tyranitar in a gym yesterday and holy crap what a beast.  It took out a 2,000+ Espeon so fast my charge move didn't even get a chance to fill up before the Eeveelution went down.

If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up.

Let people trade worthless items (Bananas) for worthwhile ones (Potions) and call it a day.  

Where I'm deployed to there is a place here where there's about ten Pokestops that you can walk in a circle around the area nonstop and hit every one of them without worrying about getting to one too soon and I'm still fresh out of potions. I've walked that ring for two hours once and hatched a 10km egg (Gligar, of course) and have more than a hundred great balls,  75 ultra and 250 standard balls, yet only got a few potions.  

Puts a damper on the nightly rumble for the gym in the middle of that ring at least for me.

I wish they'd let you convert potions.  Like allowing you to turn 10 potions into 1 hyper potion.

I hatched one with very high IVs, another whose stats are a little lower than the first but overall, pretty good. And there's the occasional wild catch.

#2 is walking with me right now and I'm 70 candies short of cranking up my newly evolved Pupitar into its big brother.

Regarding the special items award rate:

It's been a few weeks since I got any of them, and I often spin between 60 and 100 stops a night on the route we walk...total depending on the number of laps. Second stop of last night got a Steel Coat, and that same stop yielded a King Rock this morning. Probably 40 spins between them.

They were released with the rest of gen 2, but they are extremely rare.  Probably the rarest non-evolution 'mon in the game.

It'll be a while before I get the Unown gold medal.

Hatched 2 more 10km eggs today

2 more Gligars

And to add insult to injury, they both had horrible IVs.  Not that I wouldn't have transferred them even if they were 100% 15/15/15

Nice!  Did you see it at a pokestop or did it just pop up randomly?

Are there any trackers that still work?  People on The Silph Road nest atlas are always posting screenshots from a tracker that looks like pokevision, but I haven't found any that work.

(Unfortunately not my screenshot)

The Unown was just dumb luck. I was downtown on St Paddy's Day and overheard someone ask someone else "did you catch it?" This was a bar not a park or something so I figured it had to be something good.  I fired up GO and there it was.

Some major cities have scanners. I don't know of any free scanners like Pokevision that work wherever.

Recently evolved 2 Chikoritas that were both only like level 20 with around 70% IVs all the way to Meganiums, because they were by far the best 2 I had caught since gen 2 came out.

Then of course I almost imediately catch a Chikorita that's level 31 with around 95% IVs.
