I used mine on Steelix kinda regret not using it on Scizor now though, seems more immediately useful.

I hatched my first one yesterday. 32 candies was nice.
I love putting my non-Europe regionals in a gym here, but the spoofers make it less special Have a Tauros and a Heracross (along with a Mr Mime). Will hopefully get Corsola later this year if it spawns in Mauritius.
Also really hoping I get to do a Singapore / Sydney trip one day to complete the (current) set.

I hope regionals in gyms doesn't wind people up.

So I'm arguing with my friends. What is the more sensible thing to do: buying an incubator every couple of days with my gym payouts (what I'm doing) or hoarding coins for the off-chance that they might lower the price of incubators during Easter? My friends heavily speculate on the latter and I think it's somewhat stupid.
My argument that you waste good kilometers when walking with only one incubator falls on deaf ears.

I rather spend my coins on Pokemon and Item Upgrades. I'd rather have something that lasts forever than one Incubator that is gone after a short time

Ah, my bad. I guess its just to get non-urban players to play the game longer, or artificially lengthen the feasibility of generation 2. I mean, I live in water/grass biome and have seen one Chikorita and zero other starters since generation 2 launched. It seems like a choice that was made to punish people who rely on eggs to find any semblance of uncommon and rare critters.

How long is it until Easter? I have no idea when it is this year.
What are we expecting? I hear double XP possibly. Faster egg hatching?
Free incubators? Increased Exeggcuter/Chansey spawns?!

Thought it was a good day but it was a bad day, got me third Rhydon (same shit moveset, Rock Smash/Earthquake), finally found a decent IV Chikorita to evolve and got Meganium (Razer Leaf/Earthquare lol), and last but not least I evolved two Poliwraths neither getting the Bubble/Dynamic Punch combo I really wanted. : (

Sudowoodo is like the worst hatch in the game, even retrospectively. Onix and Pinsir from 10km eggs used to suck, but the prior got an evolution and Pinsir at least has better stats. Sudowoodo just sucks, lol. And he's been 2 of my 5 post gen 2 10km eggs...

Sudowoodo wirh Rock Throw & Stone Edge is great at taking out 2000CP+ Snorlaxes.
Pinsir could at least get double-Bug attacks, and theoretically be a good counter to Exeggutor. Onix is completely useless. Even if you can evolve it to Steelix, what's the point of a Steel/Ground pokemon?

I guess, but I've never found Snorlax that problematic anyway and is a less common in gyms now (at least here).
One extra Pokémon in the Dex and a rare type for medal completionists?
It's not much but it's something.Went to a big park some 40 km away because it was supposed to be a big Cyndaquil nest. And they really weren't kidding when they said that, I spent 1,5 hour there and walked 5 KM in Pokémon Go distance to get 24 Cyndaquil. I got 23 of them with a Pinab, only used a Razz Berry on the 600 CP one. End result is 166 extra candy. Also found a couple of Hoppip which I caught with a Pinab and a Phanpy with a Pinab. So it was a very productive afternoon.
I did use up more than 30 Pinab and 50 Ultra Balls. So I only have 10 Pinab and 170 Ultra balls left. Time to stock up again before the next migration. Hoping for a good Chikorita nest.

He made the gym defender list.
...I know I talked a lot of shit about Gyrados as a defender in the past, but the new moveset is actually pretty tough on anything other than Jolteon.

Saw this the other day. Have to say I was a little bit jealous.
I find that even a Jolteon half Gyarados' CP has trouble KOing it on its own. Miss dodge Outrage or Crunch and it's usually lights out for Jolteon, especially with Dragon Tail's chip damage. In the past Jolteon could tank a Twister or two. Hydro Pump is also harder to dodge now.
Still, I would trade all my Gyaradoses for a Dragonite with DT/O.

Me too. And unfortunately none has really good IVs -_-

Dragonite and Gyarados are so easy to take down it's ridicolous.

I've hatched plenty, but none above 88% IV.
Got a good streak of 5K hatches today. Shellder, Smoochum, Rhyhorn, Tyrogue, and Grimer! Finally rolled Mud Slap/Earthquake for the Rhydon, and got a Hitmontop from the Tyrogue. I even got a wild Quilava (only 19 CP though). So four new dex entries, three from Johto, which brings me to 63/70. I'm also five away from a complete Kanto dex, just missing Muk, Hitmonlee, Omastar, Kabutops, and Aerodactyl.
I don't see the point in any Defender that is massively vulnerable to Water or Fire. I'm sure Steelix has great stats and all, but everyone playing the game has a Flareon or Vaporeon that will wipe the floor with it. Plus it maxes out at like 2400 CP, which almost always guarantees it a slot on the bottom rung of an established tower.
The best Defenders are generally ones that are difficult to gain a type advantage over and have naturally high CP/HP. The best defense is just having a tower full of Pokemon that are slow, annoying fights -- Snorlax, Blissey, and (to a lesser extent) Dragonite are I think bigger deterrents to assault than the metagame dictactes.

If it doesn't have high CP, it won't be in gyms. It's as simple as that. The moveset, weaknesses, and overall combat of Pokémon have negligible effect when it comes to placing.
This has been a big flaw of the game since day one. Many Pokémon will simply never be on defense. Blissey, Snorlax, Rhydon, Dragonite, Gyarados, and Tyranitar will continue to rule the game.
