after tweaking the back-end, my mobile browser finder is cranking at about 1 good scan per 10 seconds and no empty scans. https://pokemonnearby.io/

Maybe this is a dumb question but why are you guys even playing this game if you use something like this? To me the whole point of it is to be surprised by finding something.

Though, in trying to use it on Android Chrome, how do you fix the error message where it says you didn't share your location? I was never given a prompt to allow it to use my location.

Because "nearby" in the game doesn't work. If it did, a pretty substantial amount of people wouldn't use sites like that.
If the game tells you something cool is nearby but isn't any more clear than "it could be up to 1km away in any direction," you can see why people would use this site rather than miss it. If paw prints worked and people could hunt stuff themselves, a lot of people would rather do it, but they don't have that option.

Damn, that Lapras I got is 88% perfect. Now if only I had some candies to actually level it up.

yeah same happened to me this morning. Mine was 382 at least.
What's those IV everybody's talking about?

Oh, I'm definitely surprised when I see a Snorlax or something rare like that on the map. And when you see it, then you hope there's enough time left to get there before it despawns.
anyone have a chansey that is +1000 cp?
i have 3 chanseys, got all while in my mid 20s, all are ~300 cp...yet have beastly stats
so i figured maybe chansey is meant to intenitally be stuck at low CP yet still tear shit up?
all my ~300 CP chanseys have +300 hp which is much higher than my +2k CP pokemon
i'm guessing chansey has to be treated differently. my 15-15-15 chansey is maxed out at 501 CP and my trainer level is 25
i don't get it

Hidden stats that affect the stats of the Pokémon. Each individual Pokémon has its own set of IVs, so two Pokémon from the same species are typically not equal, even at the same level with the same move set. They're in the main series games as well, and were completely hidden from the player for quite a while, the in recent games they've made them a little more visible.

Yeah I also don't get it. I don't want to use stuff like that either.
I know the whole tracking thing is broken and I hope they fix it soon but using stuff like this actually kills all the fun for me.
Im sure most people scan the whole area and just go to good pokemons straight.
Nearby doesnt show that so everyone will keep using it.
Thats just stupid excuse to use this "cheat", I hope they can somehow fix it so its not possible to use these search things anymore.
meh, i don't see the appeal because i never really base where i go on the game
i do what i want and go where i want, just usually have the game running
i would never pre-decide where i go based on what shows up on it, so i just don't see the appeal personally

thanks, that's pretty incredible. and as i suspected, nothing but weedles, pidgeys and rattatas around here.
edit: when i try with my cell phone, i get "Error: User opted not to share location?" anyone know how i can agree to do that?

Oh yeah, I'm not saying a lot of people don't use it like that.
But at the moment, it's the only option that works because Niantic haven't fixed the nearby problem. It's preferable to losing a cool catch, whether they want to use it or not.
What? Haven't gotten anything yet

It adds to the fun for me. It's really no different than the Pokedex in the regular games showing what routes you can catch a particular Pokemon on.
Why? Someone using a map program won't affect your game or experience in the slightest. It's not like a Pokemon will be gone after it's caught by someone using a map. And I'm sure if you were walking around your neighborhood and playing and someone said that they saw a Dragonite or something on their map and it's on the next block, you would be off like a shot.
Again, it's not really a "cheat" and it's really no different than the Pokedex in the regular games showing you what route a Pokemon can be found on.
Look at the E-MAIL tag. The address for the tag is the pass.
I live in a city in The Netherlands. I've never seen an Onix spawn here. Neither have I seen a Charmander, Bulbasaur, Squirtle, Charizard or any other "big" Pokemon. Using the radar I can make sure these Pokemon are even here. When I go out and hunt, I don't use it ...
It will depend on your area though. For example people complain about drowzee spawns but it's one of the rarer pokemon in my area
Why are the botters and spoofers a problem if that guy before said it doesnt effect YOU what other people do?
I dont agree since there is gyms where you have to fight with other people etc but sure.
yup, i've heard people go ape shit for eevees and even watched that video of a mob of people swarming the streets for a vaporeon yet i've had +1k eevee candy without trying
i think i've heard growlithes are rare for same too, got +1k candy for them as well
drowzees are rare as shit here tho

I live in SE US, a few blocks from the ocean. I've never seen an Onix either. Bulbasaur is pretty common in my neighborhood now, I always see a spawn when I look at the map pretty much. I see Squirtles from time to time, nowhere near as much as Bulbasaur and I only just started seeing Charmanders the other day. But they are still very rare and don't pop often.
The only evolved starter forms I've seen in my neighborhood is Ivysaur, which is starting to pop more often, and a Venusaur that I've only seen once or twice.
The radar in the game is so broke, that it's actually wrong most of the time and Pokemon shown on it aren't even spawned.
To be fair, I only said someone using a map program to see what Pokemon are around them. Botters and spoofer is a completely different thing, and can affect gyms and things by unfairly levelling up Pokemon to high levels.
Map users still go outside to catch the Pokemon. Which is the point of the game, right?
I still go on walks regularly to find some random spawns nearby and hatch eggs, too.
Spoofers and bot users do all that without ever leaving the chair in front of their computers. Not to mention how the gym system can get screwed up by such users.
Ohh, I see. Thank you! Does a "shadow" on the "Pokemon Nearby" list mean they are further away than the rest?
just a heads up, not sure if this is common knowledge as i just recently started learning about IVs, but it seems like pokemon that hatch from eggs have much, much higher chance to have a better IV perfection %. this could be trainer level based tho.
also noticed that XS and XL pokemon tend to have higher IV perfection %, but this is just based on my limited experiences

Just means you don't have one yet.
Yeah. Drowzees don't even break top 30 most common where I'm at and growlithes are the 7th most common. If you go about 12 miles west of where I'm at Ekans and Sandshrews become more common than pidgeys.
(out of 435k unique spawns)
Footsteps are bugged. They're supposed to show 1, 2, or 3 footsteps based on distance but they only show 3 now. Shadow just means you haven't encountered it yet. Once you try to capture it the silhouette will go away.

Because the core of the game doesn't work?
It hasn't worked for longer than it did work and as such people have made the game into something that does. Albeit very differently.
Not referencing all my pokespots of my area
France here.
i was mostly joking
stops are just a high density here i've never needed to search around
more interested in locating spots close to each other that constantly have lures active
Yoshichan
And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Setup? If I'm understanding you correctly, I'm sitting at a place with triple Pokestops and they're always active with lures. There's a spot to charge your phone there as well so no need for power bank either! There are plenty of people who camp there as well so whenever I see them running towards a spot, I either follow them (not even knowing what they're looking for) or I check Pokevision real quick to see where it might be. That's when I ride my bike (that is right next to me) and capture the sucker
Today, I brought an extra bag with me, with a thick jacket. So when it becomes cold, I'll just unequip my summer jacket and equip my leather jacket because FUCK was it cold last night :lol

I find the common pokemon for different areas to be really interesting haha.
Like around my house it's Pidgey, Ratata and Zubat everywhere, but if I go down to the waterfront it's all Psyduck, Poliwag, Magikarp Goldeen and Tentacool, with the nearby park being overrun by Abra, Voltorb and Magnemite.
At the same time I've only ever caught 2 Drowzee, Machop and Grimer and 3 Geodude and Slowpoke.

Maybe the Pokémon finder could just remove links to maps. So you'd only know the Pokémon is 400m away but not where, then you move and re-scan and see it's 300m away and can locate it that way.
Obviously that'd put a bit more stress on servers since scans would be more frequent, but it would be a way for the tool to imitate the way the game is supposed to work.
Best of both worlds.
