Dunno, but I haven't been able to log in at all today.
Only really useful if you already caught a higher CP one though and want candy. They'll all probably be pretty low in power in a 2km egg.

Low(ish) in power but good IVs. I've had 1 squirtle from a 2km egg and since then I've collected 90 candy on the road to evolving it into blastoise, and none of those I have caught have had an IV anywhere close to the one I hatched.

correct about everything
the power of pokemon you get from eggs depends on your level, not the size of the egg. your best bet to get a good starter is from an egg, particularly if you want good ivs.
You can see your Pokemon's IV? What website lets you do that?
Really? Didn't know that.

There's many way to calculate it, just google silphroad pokemongo iv calculator.
But also pokeadvisor can give you the exact IVs pulled from the app's API.
I want to say someone took a screenshot of this and posted it in the first thread.

You can login using an authentication token, it doesn't gain access to your email/password I believe.
The Silphroad calculator is pretty damn cool. Although they admit IVs aren't as important in this game, lol.
John Dunbar

to clarify, it's your level at the time you get the egg. if you level up before the egg hatches, the egg will not level up with you.
Bummer. I have 2km eggs from before the update but got no idea what level I got them.
it's a simple thing to fix.
once your infinite incubator is free, just start sticking them in there and go for a long walk.
Lol people using IV checkers like the Silph Road calculators and Pokeadvisor. Real purists like me would have evolved and powered everything up and compare their stats with each other to see which Pokemon has the better IVs. Why would you look it up online? It's hidden for a reason, so it's not suppose to get found out by just using a website.
/s
because stardust is limited?
Yup, it doesn't. Got confirmation on Reddit.

Just power through all the lower-km eggs. It's very likely they were picked up when you were low level
but I still do get 2 km eggs even now at 22
No one is talking to "Real Purists" like you. The only stat you can check is HP, so how you would elect to check our their stats beyond this is beyond me. Some people like to min-max, and some people like myself just like to know as a general going concern. If that separates me from a purist like you, I'm glad to be so distinguished.
Well yeah lol. Next time I get paid I might buy a bunch of incubators and hatch them all at once. That'll be cool to have them all hatch at once.

That was it! Thanks!

That is really weird. Did Togepi eat butter once in the anime or something?

Having difficulty understanding the IV system in this game.
I have a 579 Dratini at 66.7% and a 509 Dratini at 75.6% - which one should I evolve?

Is that..
did they..
..are they imitating Trump?
How do you even get this message?
I think it was a result of clicking on an egg that was waiting for me to exit the menu so it could hatch.
From what I understand you want the one with the best IVs first, then take into consideration the better move set. So maybe two mons with really close IVs I'd keep the one with stronger moves. I imagine that's how it works.
Bulbasaur: Seen 1, Caught 1 (start of the game)
Charmander: Seen 2, Caught 2
Squirtle: Seen 31, Caught 23
Pikachu: Seen 3, Caught 3 (all from 2k eggs)
Pidgey: Seen 191, Caught 161
This game... at this point I have very little hope of ever evolving Bulba and Charmander to their final stages. They're absolutely impossible to find here. I've hatched a huge amount of 2k eggs too without getting any of the starters except Pika.

Moveset is usually top consideration, but you don't know what the moveset of a 'mon will be until you've fully evolved it, so when deciding what to evolve, IVs takes top priority.
Ah, I see. I couldn't find much information on this other than one blog site but considering the evolution factor with move sets, it does make it tricky for multi-evolution mons.
random is random, imo
Yeah a lot of this game feels like people still don't really understand RNG sometimes

outside shot, but if you live in London, Holland Park has a nest of about 10 bulbas an hour. It used to be Chars before the nests rotated.

Has anyone tried the naming charmander ZIPPO trick? supposedly it makes him evolve into charmeleon with the moves ember and flamethrower.
Booking plane tickets now.
It sucks that Bulbasaur seems to be one of the most rare pokemon in my area. My favorite starter. Will just have to grind 2k eggs it seems.
I honestly think they did something pretty specifically about Pidgey/Rattata/Weedle/etc being more annoying to catch. I've been catching some pretty strong pokemon on the first ball, but all the trash has become extremely difficult. I struggle more with 100cp Pidgeys than I do with 800-900cp versions of more 'rare' pokemon. They probably realized farming pidgeys was becoming too much of a trend.
Catch rate may or may not be the same, but I feel like the jumping animation, fighting back animation, and fleeing have definitely been bumped up a bit.

Starter nests are moderately common. If you live in a largish city, see if any of your parks are starter nests. Reddit is pretty good for finding them.
I was at the Tower of London today and it was spawning wartorts and Kubutos. Crazy!

Just had a 68 CP Persian break free multiple times and eventually run away. Really game?
Should the general tactic be - catch Pokemon with highest IV possible, evolve it ASAP and if it has a good move set, start pumping candy and stardust into it? If the move set is bad, give up and move onto a new Pokemon?
Also, why do people suggest waiting till level 20+ before you start using stardust? Is it because at that level you're likely to catch Pokemon with a higher starting CP so you'll need less stardust and candy to max them out? I'm at level 14 and really want to start messing with gyms for fun and for the extra XP but can't do that anytime soon if I don't start to invest in some of my Pokemon

Pokestops close together and multiple lures seems to increase the spawns. But the spawns seem to be random anyway.

I started spending at Level 19- by then I had 60k. I'm now level 21 and I'm down to 30k after spunking it on Snorlax and Laprases with 70-80% IVs
Save it brah, you'll need it. It is the limiting factor.

I am still on 0.29.3 (1.0.3) and get bonus XP for good throws, so it is definitely a client thing. Haven't really played enough today to tell if Pokemon flee more often, but i guess for the time being I'll refrain from updating. What the shit are you doing Niantic...
New updates hide poor reviews.
