It's going to die because the core of how pokevision/pogomap/etc/ work is a pogoapi that people are using to develop bots that can farm pokemon, spin stops, etc.
Once trading comes out Niantic will have to crack down on the botting hard.
With the amount of scripts going around and people mapping whole parts of the world, it's easier to make a PTC account than google
Yeah, I mean it's pretty pointless trying to hunt Pokemon sometimes without it.
I mean at work there's a spawn outside and I can usually guess when a Pokemon is there based on the near by list even despite it being broken(Mainly because there is two water spawns next to each other). Outside that it's potluck, unless you use the other trick, which is loading up Ingress.

Level 17 and its hardddd to level now. I'm trying to wait until I'm full of Pidgeys and Rattatas before popping off my Lucky Egg. I haven't really leveled any Pokemon up yet...still only have a few CP800~. Is it wise to wait until level 20 to start leveling and taking down gyms?

Ok i got the answer. If lure modules or smoke not work. Its the time on your mobile. Mine was 3 min plus.
Not really. You can get quite a bit of EXP from taking down gyms, plus the daily stardust+coins reward that you can collect from the shop screen (tap the shield in the top right corner to collect, you get 10 coins and 500 stardust for each gym you control). Even if you only beat one of the pokemon in a gym, you still get EXP and reputation for it, so there's not too much reason not to try it out.

Q: How come lure modules or smoke not work?
A: If lure modules or smoke not work. Its the time on your mobile. Mine was 3 min plus.
Depends on where you live.
In my area gyms are held by anything from 500-1100.
I imagine cities are higher though, I'm on the outskirts, so there's not a massive amount of stuff around.

Heresy.
Lord Kabuto will cleanse the world of your filth.
I got a 10km Kabuto, neither are available in my area.

My last two eggs were a Pidgey and Rattata. Oh well, my remaining eggs are all 5km. Also caught a second Pikachu.

Does anybody know why XL Pokemon always seem to evolve to XS? Does size even factor in at all? I've yet to evolve a Pokemon into XL. They are all either normal or XS.
I'm level 18 and now I'm waiting lvl 20 (or 25 ? but I heard that's soo looong) to evolve and hatch 10km eggs. But for gyms I'm doing it since lvl 5, I'm always at the object cap so I don't need potions that much. If you take multiples gyms or even one you can begin to build up your coins ressources, unless you don't have many pokestop nearby to refill with objects.
Yes. I have a 598 cp Drowzee that I caught in the wild.
there is not a huge point to wait. eggs CP is determined when you pick it up, not when you hatch it.

The whole size thing is a mystery to me too, I'd love to know.
It's actually pretty easy to do, here's a video tutorial:

It's a lot better than those web based or the android app ones. You can filter the pokemon search too.
Arf ok didn't know that !
I have another question : does the CP of the evolution is related to the base pokemon CP and/or XP ? Is it worth to keep a good base CP pokemon found for example lv18 to evolve later, or the evolution will be in all cases less powerful than from a good base pokemon CP found at level 20 for example ?
I guess the evolution is principally based on the base pokemon CP but I prefer to ask !

I think this is a pretty legit line of reasoning personally. Otherwise you're just totally guessing instead of mostly guessing which isn't super feasible when it's 105 degrees out.
well the one I'm using is literally python one with a GUI. It does the exact same thing just makes it an easy exe you launch and type settings into
Just thought I'd give it a go and see if it scanned faster XD
I feel like there's something missing from the animation
Man somebody posted in one of the groups I'm in asking if anyone was down to meet up at a cafe and then go to a local park tomorrow to show her the basics since she just started. It's super close to my parents' place and I'd never been so I figured what the hell, don't need to make progress all the time, should be fun.
As of now more than 20 other people have already replied and the official FB page of the cafe is getting involved. Unreal.
Well, the other problem is the list is just slow to update in general. I've walked around and caught stuff which wasn't even on my radar. I was looking round for an Electabuzz, it disappeared off my list, so I thought it had despawned. Found it down the road.
I've also found stuff which weren't even on the list, assumedly because the list hadn't updated. (And no, I didn't have an incense on, and I wasn't anywhere near a pokespot so no lure)
basically yeah.
on each pokemon there is a gaugein the background. how far long that gauge will stay the same when you evolve and thus decide the CP of the evolved pokemon.
whether you start with a weak or strong pokemon you can level it up to the same eventual power level. a stronger pokemon allows you to save resources though.

PokeVision is also a perfectly reasonable alternative to leaving your phone turned on, plugged in, and showing PoGo on your desk at work all day. At least until Nearby is fixed.

Is Pokevision even working for anyone anyway?
Been hearing rumblings on the internet that the site and similar Pokemon maps are using PTC accounts, and PTC accounts are down. I wonder if Niantic is starting to shut that down.
Blech, I guess I can use my google account from now on, if PTC still keeps me from playing while servers are doing fine... but it's a throwaway

pokevision is absolutely terrible compared to other methods out there. It has an insanely short scan range and even a pokemon scan limit.....I compared it with mine and its just a joke of a website.

Those who use the Python OG method or the GUI method that I'm currently using can use a throwaway google account.....I have like 9 XD
That I.V. calculator puts this monster's innate stats (which persist over evolutions) between 35% and 53% of max potential.
I'll likely just keep using it as a starting point.
use pokevision to find a single pokemon I want, go get that, and then wander around aimlessly for a while collecting pokespots
given how rare a number of the pokemon are around here even with pokevision I will likely have to get like half the pokedex from eggs so it isn't like it changes that much.

Went to my biggest park on my area. Maybe 20-30 people hovering around 2 spots that each had 3 lured pokestops (for a total of 6). The sweet spot being where you could hit 4 but not enough to tag all the spots for supplies.
Pokemon everywhere. Though a good half were rats or Pidgys. Surprising lack of water-mon.
A golbat spawned and after like 20 balls I gave up on it. It's force field was strong.

I use a tracker too and don't feel guilty either. Nor do I feel it's cheating. I also like that it shows how much time is left before a pokemon despawns. I can gauge the distance and see if I can make it or not. I still have to get to it in time, and it could be blocks away.
i don't think machamp can even beat snorlax because they had the brilliant idea to give snorlax zen headbutt, which does 15 damage per 1.05 second, and they gave machamp karate chop, which does 6 damage per 0.80 second.
in the real games, machamp would ohko snorlax
niantic pls
