More #RealTalk. Spin a Stop/Gym, catch a Pokemon, and do a research task every day to maximize those streaks. 7 Day Streak spin will gain you an evolution item and 7 days research will gain you, among other rewards, a legendary Pokemon! (currently through June, Articuno)

I forgot about the research until I did mine this morning and got 20 balls for the final task :-D Delete the hard ones and queue them up so you don't have to think about it every day (you only get one stamp each day so I don't redeem extras, but you can for good rewards).

For community day I'm going down to the Science World quad with all the other Vancouver nerds. Should be a good time. Any of you have plans? Great chance to level up for Expo!!

Since May 16th I've gone from lvl 26 to lvl 30.

Just evolved this bad boy yesterday!

I'm leaving Sunday morning. If @cola and @drasnor don't mind getting to the airport early, I can take them. According to Google Maps, because of construction, I have to pass by there anyway.

If you've stated that you have a rental car or other transportation, your arrival/departure isn't listed.

All you have to do is pay up and eat!

Seems like no.

That moment when you realize you and Dras have the same flight back west...

Getting a Go+ made this much easier for me. I have it connected any time I go anywhere. If you get one of the third party ones you don't even have to press the button to spin. It's great as a lot of stops are at intersections where you slow down or stop naturally and also gets steps for your eggs and buddy in Vancouver-like slow-ass rush hour traffic.

RealTalk. The 3rd party device is called a Gotcha. While auto catch and spin is tempting (not available on Go+ without modding), personally I like to play the game and not let it play for me.

Also if you frequent the same gyms and work up to gold status (each raid gets you 1000 xp towards the 30k you need for gold) this means 3 extra items per spin

Leveling up Gyms and spinning them is a great way to get extra items. You level up a gym by almost any interaction with it. Spinning, battling, placing a defender in, feeding berries, and as stated, raiding.

plus 1 if it's your colour.

That's racist.

Another thing we often do is have lunch at triple stops every so often. Spin every 5 mins to stock up. If you have a Go+ you can also avoid being tempted into catching as you spin so you actually save some of the stuff you gather for later.

Whether you are collecting items, catching for XP or Stardust, or leveling gyms (raids or battles), it is never a bad idea to grind. When you are able to passively grind, all the better!

Oh and definitely hit the streaks by spinning at least once per day!
