Saturday the 29th:
I later took the opportunity to visit an even bigger park which was confirmed by the Silph Road to be a nest.
I did not look up the current nesting pokemon beforehand.
I figured out which it was pretty quickly.
Intellectually I understand how PGO nests mechanically work, etc etc, but it's still HILARIOUS to roll up to a park whose features are muddy slopes and grey-hibernating plants to find........ whales. Whales on the trails, whales by the buildings, whales in the parkling lot, WHALES WHALES WHALES. 1/8th of the way to a Wailord now!
Caught: Slowpoke
Daytime sunshine walk was subsequently followed by a chillier evening walk when I realized "this one egg is a hundred meters from hatching! >:C" That worked out quite well when I only went to the corner and back: Slowpoke was hanging out on said corner. (And yes, despite my GPS's best efforts I hatched the egg.)
Friday the 28th:
Caught: Nidorina, Spoink, Skarmory
Another day at the affluent strip mall! Mostly because I was desperate for gifts, but I did do a quick jog through the grocery store. Nidorina spawned directly atop my face; Spoink and Skarmory popped up where there was only moderate powerwalking to do, which was very generous of them.
Saturday the 29th:
Caught: Machop, Bagon
Hatched: Tyrogue
Nest: Wailmer
Another visit to my parents, this time with really good weather and more spare time! Props to the Bagon for spawning at the park three minutes after I left it, forcing me to about-face and powerwalk back when I had been standing on the doorstep to go back inside.Hatched: Tyrogue
Nest: Wailmer
