They took out the tracker because it doesn't work.

Any website able to show when a team took over a gym? One gym near me has been Mystic for what feels like 2 weeks now, be curious to see when they actually took it over
That was just the footprints.
But I have a 93.3% Staryu and 50-odd Staryu candies. I figured I should just evolve it now and if it has decent moves afterwards, I can start powering it up straight away? Or am I better waiting for Pokemon with even higher IV's?
uh... I don't know what to say. That is so Niantic.
That's good enough.
Though honestly, Starmie isn't anything special in this game like it is in the actual games.

Was chasing a Chancey and caught a snorlax. What luck!

Lucky egg brute forced my way to 21. Probably won't walk for nothing anymore, but I'll still open it up at stores when I park.
Nidoking sucks though. Nidoqueen is way better.

Who names the Pokestops? Like, how does that work anyway?
You wasted purchased Incubators on 2 km eggs D: ?
I'm trying to get a perfect of every Pokemon
It uses an authentification token, not email+password. Once you're done using it you can revoke the site's access.

I read people say this but when you constantly have 9 eggs...are you supposed to let the 2s sit there taking up space or something? I don't get the logic.
it's bullshit nidoqueen has stone edge
how does one even dodge earthquake? niantic pls
You use your unlimited use Incubator on the 2 km eggs, and your purchased ones on the bigger ones since they require more time to hatch. 2 km eggs are just so easy to hatch that it's just wasted money considering how fast they hatch honestly.
Yep, some guy on Reddit botting said pre-patch was 54.13% vs post-patch 24.92% for some Golbat at level 6.. would love to see how bad it is 20+
Oh, now this data I'd be interested in even if they're poaching gyms out of nowhere from me...
Why not? They get 3 uses per incubator so there's plenty of use left for all the non-2-km eggs leftover. Plus, the game was working as expected at the time (first release), so I was happy to spend money on it. I also got 3 backpack and 2 Pokemon inventory upgrades.
Took me about an hour and a half today walking between 8 pokestops to replenish my ball inventory after the update made them all suck.
Now as long as I give up on all pokemon after throw 2 or 3 unless it's a pokemon I don't have or has candy I need I manage to more or less maintain my ball count.
I have two pokestops in reach of my desk so I should be good during the week.
Managed to catch or evolve 5 new pokemon today. That's about what I've been averaging on days where I play hard. That feels like decent progress. I'm only up to about 60 or so.

Seriously just wasted 30+ balls on a goddamned Beedrill that kept breaking out.
There's no excuse for bullshittery like that.

Haven't been able to get in for the past few hours. Annoying, not sure if it's PTC in NA having issues or what. Site says the game is up but nothing....keep getting "unable to authenticate"
That website isn't 100%. For example, a minute ago there was a Bulbasaur near me (that I found and caught easily) that didn't appear on that site.

What is your leveling method right now? Evolving a shit-ton of pidgey's? I'm looking at the road ahead for 25+ and it's frightening.

Since Niantic changed the trigger radius to a smaller distance, there are some gaps in the search coverage.
I could fix it, but most searches return between 10 and 40(!) pokemon currently, so I figured it wasn't a big deal. Fixing it either shrinks the radius down from where it is now, or makes it slower and therefore allows less simultaneous users, or abuses their servers more than currently and probably hastens its demise.

Pidgey - Seen: 234 / Caught: 186
Rattata - Seen: 154 / Caught: 128
Weedle - Seen: 83 / Caught: 74
...and yet still not one single Growlithe :'(
Getting bored of the game now, haven't played much since Friday. I think I'm free.

That's my plan..
and also finding a place like below that has a decent amount of poke stops in a few short steps of each other and you can sit somewhere inbetween them all without moving for a while and using lure modules, lucky eggs and evolving pokemons.

finally got my first pikachu
....took 7 razz'd ultra balls to get a 450 one
i think i'm done until they patch this. it's impossible to play unless you camp out at a stop haven.

The fuck? Here's a new one:
My girlfriend sees a Krabby on the map. She clicks it, starts the encounter. It's a Krabby. She catches the Krabby. She gets the post-catch info screen... And it's an Eevee. What?

To be fair, Pikachu took a lot of ultra balls even before the latest update.

Just caught a Charmeleon! I'm nowhere near Charizard, though, it's gonna take a long ass time considering Charmanders are pretty rare.

Apparently it's not just you :3
https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRo...on_caught_are_different_then_obtained_glitch/
Yes, the RNG of
"Will it get caught on the first throw"
or
"Will it break out 4-5 times and then run away"
If you're Level 20+ and don't feel catch mechanics are different, I dunno what to tell ya.
22, and not noticed any difference in catch rates. Run away on catch fail seems marginally more common but probably 80% of catches today have been one ball... *shrug*
You know that would be the greatest game addition (besides returning tracking) ever. You can still get a random number of items, but you can choose what type of items to get with a chance to get better quality items. Won't ever happen with microtransactions though

are u on android. i've heard that the newest update has hit IOS users with a lower catch rate, and android users haven't noticed much. i'm on IOS and it's really obvious to me
Today I can cosign your experience. I noticed a lot of one ball catches too, but then a few low CP commons broke out repeatedly and ran away sometimes.. and factor in the increased attack rate and altered distances. It just SEEMS like catch rates have been changed.
I know for sure I'm struggling with more Ekans and Zubat than I've ever cared to. I've begun to abandon more catch attempts than ever before, because as others have said, I feel like it's a waste of resources. Shame, since that's pretty much the game for me these days.
