Am I the only one who prefers certain Pokestops over others? For example, if I have a space for a lucky egg. I will go to this Athena statue that's in the park by me and spin it. More times than not, it will drop a 10 KM egg. I once had a Chancey egg drop from there. Today, I went over there and it was my first spin of the day and I had space for a lucky egg and again it dropped a 10 KM egg. I have 2 other 10 KM eggs, so there's no way of knowing what's going to come out of there. This Pokestop I can only visit on my days off because of work.
There's this other Pokestop by the bond. This one is by my work. I've gotten a few 10 KM Dratini eggs out of it. It's been a while since I've visited that one.
If I'm away from these two and I have space for a lucky egg, I prefer spinning Pokestops with statues of people or animals. (Is this weird? lol)
Anyone else do this? Go after certain Pokestops when egg space is available? If you got a story, do share! Thanks.
"Superstition is any belief or practise that is irrational - i.e., it arises from ignorance, a misunderstanding of science or causality, a positive belief in fate or magic."
So I guess I'm not superstitious about stops, but you might still see me behaving in the same way as you (given half a chance) because I'm not 100% sure that the egg distribution for each stop is the same. I don't let it run my life though lol. x)
One of my 4 close gold gyms is at a fountain, I was lucky enough to see Zapdos spawn and get 10 of my color's players there. We knocked it out within 20 minutes of it starting, perhaps dissuading the trolling drivers from any of our help. 14 premier balls, fast TM, 15 rare candy and....1888 zap cannon 15a/15d/12s (already have 1878 TB). I picked this gym to defend and build team support b/c it is a cool fountain in a shopping center w/ good restaurants, grocery store, etc. Now it is a lucky fountain, too
The people at Silph Road asked that question, did some research, crunched some numbers, and came to the conclusion that all stops aren't equal when it comes to egg distribution. Original article here: https://thesilphroad.com/science/pokestop-egg-drop-distance-distribution
Further, of late, I've spun three 10km eggs, and all of them came from gyms. So from now on, when I have an egg opening, I spin a gold badge gym. We'll see if it pays dividends long term.
Same here. Great luck with 10ks on gyms. I believe part of the lucky stop comes from frequency of spins but no math to prove it. I am guessing that best gyms to spin are those with high turnover/activity and or frequency of desirable raid boss. I'm guessing best time to spin is right after 20-30 raiders have come and gone.
