Made a basic Pokemon database. You can find move sets and all that. You can also do things like order by combined stats or chance for a Pokemon to flee from battle and things like that. Also made a really basic tool to compare the stats of two Pokemon. I will get around to adding a tier list and more advanced formulas for figuring out attack damage once I am back Monday. For now there is just the basic attack list where you can see attack dps and what Pokemon can learn that attack.

The guides themselves are just a rough draft and I need to rewrite them still, so don't worry about those. Just looking for feedback on the Pokemon / Attack database and what people would want to see from the comparison tool, which is in a very early state right now.

Word. I thought it might be a neat little trick, but it's been 100% accurate on 5 for 5 rare spawns around the office today. Hit my personal high on a 1300CP Dragonite in an area that I never normally check.

I'm tryin' to stay pure fam, but the thought of some prime Gym killers has me excited.

It's not like it'd be hard for me to learn the script too...

I DON'T NEED IT.

[The Cowboy]

Has anyone else tried the PokeVision website? I put a marker down on my location, but it seems off. It only shows some Pokemon, many of which are not appearing on my local on my phone. I also thought it would show me the Pokemon for the whole area that showed up on that map.

Worked 100% for me today, got a seaking, a meowth, a dratini and a starmie. I don't think it shows the random spawns, only those on a timer.

Everything was exactly where it said it would be.

Eggs are based on the level you were when you found them, right? Is there any way to tell which eggs are the oldest ones?

 

[Finale Fireworker]

Messing around with PokéVision has confirmed a suspicion I already thought to be true: more, better, and cooler Pokémon spawn in urban areas. Small towns and rural areas get vermin.

I just checked ten locations, some in Maine and some in New Hampshire, and checked places I know have lots of PokéStops. Lots by the water, too.

Pidgeys, Weedles, Rattatas, Spearows, and Eevees. I know that these Pokémon spawn everywhere, but nothing ELSE is spawning alongside them. I just searched everywhere I could conceivably drive to and walk around to hunt Pokémon and there is no variety whatsoever.

Maaaaan, this sucks. At least I know people who tell me to "walk around, it's not hard" have no idea what they're talking about.

I guess I'll be sticking with eggs.

Awesome work, was wondering if I'd ever find a DPS by move guide and I found it for regular attacks!

Attack - DPS
Lick Ghost 20.00
Scratch Normal 20.00
Water Gun Water 20.00
Mud Shot Ground 21.81
Psycho Cut Psychic 26.31

Everyone saying Vaporeon and it's Water Gun is OP, but Alakazam will be the real MVP (if I ever get one)

Yep, its just Pidgey, Weedle, and Rattata til you puke for miles around the suburbs where I live and work. I don't really find it worth traveling into the city just to hunt Pikachu.

The funny thing is that you level faster by catching the same crappy pokemon over and over again because you can keep evolving them, whereas people who find a variety get a short boost from discovering new ones the first time but then slow down. And in the end you can still easily beat gyms by having strong Vaporeons because the entire stat/battling system is a joke.

Thank you for this, big effort! I'll surely check it out.

Also, I can't get Python to work so I'll just forget about it.

You have to check throughout the day.
in my town (20.000 people) its mostly rattatas pidgeys etc.
BUT. Every hour theres like 2-3 rare spawns

Does it only show up to 1/4 mile away from you or something? Didn't realize there were random spawns also that it doesn't show.

Problem is, that's just the base move, that's not accounting for the base attack stat on the mons themselves

Seems to be more or less the case. I still advise against using any paid items until we're heading out of peak hours tonight.

Will be taking that into current type, pokemon attack and STAB once I figure out a good formula to rank all that.

[Waylon Drums]

Caught a Starmie hanging around my job today.

That counts as a productive day to me.

I got one on the WAY to work this morning, weird. And yes, it was at a stop sign and YES I run the app while I drive so I can get some distance for eggs.

 

[Septimius]

Personally, I think they should just get rid of it. Instead, plan some truce with Pokevision and/or create a full on map with locations of pokestops and gyms in addition to pokemon locations (make it a bit vague to keep the exploring factor). Similar to the ingress intel map that Niantic hosts

This would be perfect for people (like myself) who wants to plan an outing for pokemon hunting, and would like to see where there's healthy amounts of stops/gyms are, as well as pokemon.

I disagree. It's easy to understand where there are pokémons and where there are stops. I disagree also with how this game places more pokémons where more people are, because you get these gathering places where you can just farm pokémon like no tomorrow. I think it should be uniformly distributed to a certain degree.

Pokévision ruins it for me. If tracking was back, I'd be happy. There's no need to have a full map of where pokémons are, and you can't plan getting them, anyway, since they're on short timers.

Actually I caught my first and only eevee, as well as a scyther thanks to pokevision. Trick is to only search places less than 15 minitab away

I agree with your thoughts on distribution though

Is the Python script superior to Pokévision in terms of spotting creatures?

 

[MANUELF]

Like I said only trash
BTW what is behind the sandshrew?

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Yes, by far.

 

[FinKL]

Problem is, that's just the base move, that's not accounting for the base attack stat on the mons themselves

Dang I was under the impression that DPS was mainly determined by speed of the move (unlisted in App) X damage listed and that's why Water Gun was sooo good. Oh well, didn't think base stats were taken into account. Basically this is confirming Mewtwo is god tier then on attack.

Another interesting note on the website is the base catch rate for the rarest of pokemon is 10%, which I'm assuming is before Balls/Berries which is interesting.

Is the Python script superior to Pokévision in terms of spotting creatures?

In my experience, the radius of Pokevision is super small, I think it matches what the trainer's radius is.

 

[dave is ok]

It's like Pokevision without tens of thousands of people DDOSing it while you're trying to use it

Huge shoutout to whoever linked that Python post on reddit earlier. That shit is OP and I feel guilty and excited at the same time.

You da real MVP

dont feel guilty, if the tracker worked people wouldnt have to resort to stuff like this

 

[Durden77]

Paramedics put down a lure at a cemetery they were posted up at. I pulled up and we found nothing but Pidgeys and Caterpies, and it was amazing. (The one on my right is with Instinct, hence why she is far cooler)

 

[Samus4145]

According to PokeVision, there is a weedle like 5 blocks from me and nothing else. Fuck the suburbs.

 

[Geminosity]

Well, you're half right. The attack speed is indeed entirely based off the move, but the damage is based on a formula using the move's attack, modified by the attacking pokemon's attack stats vs the defending pokemon's defence stats with things like type modifiers added in for extra measure :3
But yeah, water gun is super good as a move, it's just that when you slap it on tanky high stat vaporeon then you get high damage and speed

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Hype hype

 

[Geminosity]

Rarity is relative. To me a dratini or eevee is rare. To someone living near a Dratini or eevee nest, they're everywhere

comic-con is doing pokemon slash fiction now? >.>

 

[jwhit28]

I wonder how this works because I live in a very rural area and python script shows me currently a Bulbasaur, Arbok, Eevees and Pinsirs along with evolution grinding garbage. I have one pokestop and no gyms within my area of the map. A Rhydon popped up last night but I couldn't reach it without going into someone's cornfield.

It is the same everywhere. Other Pokémon than the ones you mentioned are rare. There is no place where you can find rare Pokémon constantly. But if you are lucky you can get one. I tried Pokevision only a few times, suspiciously the two rarer ones I found today did not show up on the Pokevision map.

Definitely seems worse than the python script. There is waay more stuff out there than pokevision is showing.

Ugh, my 10km egg hatched into a Pinsir. I catch like nine Pinsirs a day just around my apartment complex. USELESS.

Yeah this hurts. I like Pinsir but even with the CP advantage he is usually garbage. When I found out about IV's I thought maybe he was just a weak one, but he seems to be above 88% perfect. I hope they rework some move animations.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

lol Seaking just spawned at Burger King

 

[javac]

Went out today, my feet are hurting and my battery is dead but I did catch some Pokemon including a Tentacool, Meowth, Nidoran, Psyduck, Jynx, Golbat and a Poliwrath.

 

[Geminosity]

I can't wait until they add the newer gens so we can have miltank spawning at burger places

 

[acevans2]

I got that once and it resulted in my leveling up, so I was really curious why I got it because I wasn't expecting to reach the XP threshold from that catch.
