I'm almost level 11. I'm proud of myself.
So am I right in thinking that it's better to evolve a lower CP mon if it has a higher HP and both attacks are more powerful (tho the type of attack might be worse or something...?)?
I assume for the lower one I would just have to commit to using a bit more stardust to boost up the CP?
I have a 580 and 540 Drowzee in this situation. Very seldom am I faced with this though.

Found this guy in the wild last night. He just popped up and I yelped a little. Took like 10 razz berries and 20 great balls but hnnggghhh.
Shame on the CP but I already used the 3 he came with to get up to 700CP so I think he's got a lot to go. Just have to find some Dratini....
The feels when you see a Gyarados on your radar and then spend 15 minutes cycling around unable to find it.
was pokevision down?

The in game radar is a bit borked. Use the Pokevision website if you must hunt down something/
Sorry if already asked, but what's the general sense of how many players here are using Pokevision, anyone know?
I feel dirty using it but it kind of replaces the borked Nearby Radar step system in the meantime... if something nearby pops up, I'll occasionally use Pokevision to locate it. It's cruel to see it nearby and be unable to otherwise find it without sheer luck of wandering around aimlessly.

I was out and about and didn't load up the mobile version on my phone before leaving. Much regrets.

There are people in this very thread that claim its cheating.I'd probably some what agree if it wasn't for the tracking been down since the game officially launched here.
Each pokemon only spawns for 15 minutes. So if it shows up, you have that length of time to find it, which at walking pace would make the task impossible without some way of tracking it down.
i'll continue to use pokevision until an update fixes the tracking

Thanks, this was super helpful and actually worked really well. We had fun running around almost at midnight for a Pinsir and Ryhorn lol. Still have not gotten motivated enough to go across town for something though. Maybe when there is like a Bulbasaur nest or something. But starters are so rare here, but evees are everywhere. Easily most common behind Pidgey and Zubat.
That's about where I'm at, but I try to avoid it.
Last night I suddenly had a Charmander appear "Nearby" at the top of the list. (Well, third on the full radar, but first on the mini-radar in the bottom corner, which I think means 'closest'...?) Anyway, refusing to use Pokevision, I walked around for 10 minutes in every direction and could not get it to spawn. It felt like I was right on top of it based on my semi-scientific triangulation attempts but no dice. So disappointing. The steps indicator would have netted me another Charmander.

No worries! Glad you got it working!
The general order of importance seems to be pokemon > skillset > IVs > CP (CP comes last because you can just pump stardust into something to make it's CP higher while the 3 before it are fixed and cannot be influenced)
Your chances of finding a specific perfect IV mon AND not get screwed by the random moves when it evolves are near non-existant so it's best to go with the best you can find and 95.6 is REALLY good, you'll probably not see a better one. I generally try and keep any pokemon that hit 80% or better as the majority will be well below that. Also, if that tentacruel has blizzard it'll be a nightmare as a gym defender as it's literally impossible to avoid (the damage window is larger than the dodge window so at best all anyone can do is reduce the damage they take from it XD )
Oh f***.
So basically on top of move sets as 'numbers' and IV, I should look at the what exactly the moves are as some are harder to dodge? THIS IS CRAZY
First, I am a bit pissed, as it's hydro pump, not blizzard. (I had another high CP tentacruel with blizzard, but the IV was far less interesting).
Second, ok, I'll try harder from now on then
- also, I knew about the evolve being a random reroll, I usually invest in fully evolved pokemons
-Thx!
I had to do some irl stuff today so no pokewalk around my pokestop today so I'm down to 3 balls
Get that checked out, yo. Should only have two.
Edit: That's me laughing at my own dumb joke, btw^^
John Dunbar
correct about everything
finally got to level 20. only have one 1000+ cp pokemon though (1170 or so vaporeon). hopefully i find something decent because i'm done with the fucking pidgeys and weedles.
Is http://www.dslreports.com/front/gaftest.html working for anyone today? I keep getting this message,
"Nothing found if this is the first query Niantic servers should spawn pokemon, try again in 2-5 minutes. If this is not the first query, this hack to search may be temporarily unable to get any good information."
That tool is just awesome, since the pokevision doesn't seem to work right in my area. I've been able to find everything right on point, where as pokevision hardly spawns everything available in my area. :/

Honestly, don't worry about it, most of the time all that really matters is the regular attack and defending pokemon don't dodge anyhoo so blizzard is more of a pain on a defender than something useful on an attacker.Oh f***.

For an attacker, blizzard is actually one of the worst as it has the lowest DPS of specials you could've ended up with and has the longest 'casting time', so hydro pump is fine and It'll still be nasty if used in defence as it does more damage if it hits, it just won't be completely undodge-able :3

So I think I've lost all of my save data. I transferred my account from my smashed up bricked phone to my new one. Logged in with my Gmail/google account, downloaded the game and now it's making me start again when I login with Google.
Am I boned?

You shouldn't be, just make sure that you log in the same way you did on your old phone. If you used PTC, sign in with PTC with your same account. Same with google. If you did that, then I don't know what happened.

I've logged in with Gmail, which is what I used and now it's prompting me to start over.
How sad. Level 20 too.

You can use this web-based calculator: https://pokeassistant.com/main/ivcalculator
Or get a copy of this excel sheet (read the instructions in the first post first though): https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRo...ed_iv_calculator_automatically_calculate_ivs/
Or if you're on android I guess you can try this app (I've yet to give it a shot so I can't guarantee how good it is): https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRo...ted_an_android_app_that_will_let_you_quickly/
There's more reliable and 100% accurate middle-man styled programs that require you to connect your phone to your PC and then it catches the data as it travels and slaps it on a sheet for you without any of the guesswork but I'll leave that for others to find if they want it (they're on the silph road reddit) Be aware that using the middle-man ones are very likely breaking the Terms of Service. I'm not sure if there's any way for them to actually detect you've done this though but don't say I didn't warn you :3

I am seeing this when I click on the site "Distance fix inaccurate - waiting for better fix (+/- 4951 meters)"
I live in Summerville, SC outside Charleston. It is a suburb and only the main street area has pokestops and gyms and not many to begin with. I usually have to buy a 100 pokeballs on the weekends when I want to really play because it is not possible to get them in a regular manner. I really feel you should get 10 balls a day if you log in or walk a minimum amount. This game does reward those in populated areas. I went to DC last week and my mouth dropped. In the Federal Triangle everything was a pokestop and lures were popping everywhere. There were literally 2 separate rose sculptures 10 feet apart and both were stops. I would have to drive over a mile for that here.
You might be misremembering what account you used to log in before. My gf recently changed cellphone and had no issue getting her account on the new phone.

Nope. It's completely lost all my data. I've only 2 Google accounts and they're both making me start new games.

Fuck! That's horrible! After all the tiem Ive spent on this I wouldnt know what to do if I lost all progress.
Surely there must be some way to sort it out!

I know my username is registered because I can't have it! Really annoying. Not sure I can be bothered to even try contacting Niantic as they're probably too busy to answer.
Seems to be down for maintenance again. Shame it's been having issues. Definitely the superior pokemon finder site on my area for me personally.
Found Another Snorlax, Scythet, Rhyhorn, Vulpix all thanks to this app.
Rygar 8 Bit
Jaguar 64-bit
got a nidoking making it my 110th pokemon but also was the last of the pokemon i can get in my area now i gotta start making more beach trips and more trips into the inner city for stuff i dont have but on the plus side i found a 2k cp snorlax out in the wild and replaced my 1300 cp one with it

someone having a similar problem after an update to Ingress (including because it's the same company so maybe related?)

General opinion seems to be that you should just be able to log in to your account on the new phone and everything will magically be there :s
Might be worth poking niantic and asking "where be my data?"

try changing the http to https and ensure your GPS is turned on :3
If that still doesn't work, go into your browser settings -> site settings -> location and set it to 'ask' (modify instructions as required, i'm using chrome on mobile as an example here
)
