I caught a shiny magikarp! And it got me my 200th magikarp candy, too. One more water festival and I can evolve it!
.unfortunately all the gyms around here are suddenly full of high level gyarados and I'm not winning many fights.
Completely unrelated, had anybody else noticed pokestops moving recently? Two of my local ones that were previously in buildings suddenly moved across parking lots to be much closer to the road sometime in the last few weeks (which sucks for me because I'm still depending on wifi.)
....And does anyone know how to get a pokestop to move? My local Starbucks one is about five hundred meters from the actual Starbucks and completely inaccessible, and presumably somebody paid good money for it.
woot - a shiny! Neither I nor my godson were so lucky, (he texted me twice a day throughout to check) although I have a new gyrandos out of the festival, so - no complaints here!
I've had best results with grass types with Solar Beam charge move, or with jolteons (so fast!), but I recently read on The Silph Road that if you have an all-electric Lanturn, its high HP makes it very useful against water types. Was the water event generous with Chinchous where you live?
I didn't know Starbucks paid for pokestops! Not that this would help me, because there's only a few Starbucks in the whole of Australia, but still, it's interesting!
Every Starbucks in the US has a "sponsored" pokestop now. They appeared in late December, I think. The disc shows a Starbucks beverage, and the text at the top is a miniature advertisement. I've also seem some "sponsored" pokestops at the storefronts of some mobile phone service providers.
Japan reportedly has the most such "sponsored" pokestops in the world! On the YouTube videos of people at the Lapras event, you see them spinning a lot of sponsored discs for Japanese banks and restaurants and all kinds of companies.
>"And does anyone know how to get a pokestop to move?"
Move, no, sorry. (Expect for some schools and government authorities who've gotten them turned off, or put on schedules -- there during some hours and gone during other hours.)
But fwiw, we do hear that if an Ingress player adds a certain resource in Ingress and it's approved, that new resource then subsequently appears in Pokemon Go as a new pokestop.
Also, reputedly, Niantic has some high-ranked Ingress players auditing requests for new Ingress resources in rural areas, which, when passed, are popping up in both games.

What do you use against gyarados?
