We've come full circle, "You teach me, and I'll teach you... Pokémon!"
Oh so THATS how the mechanic works!
Lol the game could be clearer about it, but I guess learning from others is part of the experience.

Same. I work Mon-Fri in an office with a bunch of games peeps and someone is always on GO, so we know when something good pops up. Mostly Drowzee/Zubat/Pidgey as usual, but we've had rare spawns of Lapras, Snorlax, Rhydon and a few others come up once or twice, all catchable without leaving the office. There are definitely random spawns on top of cycles and nests.

Nobody is "crying", the developers themself stated first that it was indeed a bug.

Just had a weird glitch, was chasing a pikachu and i found his location but he wouldn't pop up instead there was like a circle radar I'm guessing for his radius to pop up within my radar but he didn't pop, neither did any other Pokemon just a circle for where they would appear
Anyone else had this?

Simple problem to solve. Just take over a gym and collect the defender bonus every day for two weeks.
Yeah, I've had it once. Just the ring, no Pokemon, nothing happens if you tap it, no matter how many times (I tried... a bunch). Restarted the app and there was nothing there, so spawn presumably timed out after bugging out - if you caught it early enough, whatever was meant to be there would probably still be there, unless it's just some weird-ass freak occurence.
Save them for the future. The game is a month old, the battle mechanics will change, the meta will change and they may be useful one day.

You need to quote the dudes post in this thread to see the password. I'll try to find that post to link you to it if I can. At work right now. Maybe someone else will find it before me.

Catch a better Eevee.
Depends how much Stardust you're sat on and how the IVs break down. If the 74 one has 15 HP IVs or close, it's probably gonna serve almost as well as a Vape and save you around 30-40k dust. All depends on what moves it gets too, though.
Edit: Or what donkey show says, assuming Eevees aren't super rare for you.

I just mean that I had a good run with catching but hit a wall earlier today.
I'm not sure I'm following what you're saying. Pokemons are random. Spawn points are not. Just because a dragonite spawns at a point once doesn't mean it's going to happen again.
The only data I've seen suggested that the smallest circle size (remember you don't need to hit the circle) improves catch rate by 50%, same as a berry or great ball. Ultra balls increase it by up to 100%.
Decided to walk back home and I'm pleased with today's haul (Lv 12). Bolded are the ones I hadn't caught before.
4 Zubat (lol), 3 Horsea, 2 Clefairy, 1 Spearow, 1 Krabby, 1 Nidoran♀, 1 Arcanine, 1 Starmie, 2 Ekans, 2 Caterpie, 1 Bellsprout, 2 Poliwag, 1 Kakuna, 3 Weedle, 1 Geodude, 1 Tangela (5km egg), 1 Magikarp, 1 Dratini, 1 Pinsir, 1 Squirtle, 1 Growlithe
I'm glad the Dratini was docile since I had to go out of my way for it. An asshole Ivysaur ran away after making me waste some berries and great balls, but no biggie. Highlight was the Geodude actually appearing near construction work.

Thanks I'll wait to see if i catch another, I usually see 2 minimum on my commute to work. Thanks guys
Does tour Gyrados have Twister? If not then it doesnt have the worst possible moveset like mine.

That makes more sense, I must have read your original post wrong
You're having connection issues and the model is failing to load.
If this happens again, close and re-open the app.
Rare spawns seem to be pretty random to me. Regular spawns might have a pattern though.
I wish more people gave a shit about this and Niantic actually says something about it. But nope. What are IVs? How do you know about them? They don't exist and you shouldn't be poking around.
If you read the reddit post (when reddit comes back up) the guy was basically claiming that you could create dense areas of spawn points by leaving multiple pogo clients open in the same spot and everyone just took his bullshit and believed it for some reason lmao
There's two spawn points outside my house that always spawn pokes in the exact same spot. One is regular suburban pokes, the other one (like 10m away) leans water type. Get 1-3 magikarp a night from there. Another month or so and I'll finally have a gyarados lol
Yeah, that's the sort of thing I see with regular spawns.
Also, I have three Gyaradoses and almost have enough for a fourth. And that's after I accidentally evolved a CP10 Magikarp on Saturday when I meant to transfer it. I promptly transfered the resulting CP36 Gyarados.
Only works once per name per trainer. This should be a disclaimer everywhere this is mentioned, LOL.

this is literally impossible if you live in a city area(even almost impossible in rural areas to)
you best bet is to wait till the timer of your defender time i almost up(about 2 hours) and try to take over evey gym possible(or just include yourself)

How does the 'fresh search' work on pokemonnearby?
Sometimes I don't have the button up top and refreshing the page doesn't update the search, it just spits back out a list where half have 0s left and the newest Pokemon has 8mins left.

I beg to differ... Every Pokemon with 100 cp or less only take me one or two balls. Majority of them are one ball. Over 100 cp is the problem for me.

What's the more accurate IV rater, Poke Assistant or Silph Road? I'm getting conflicting results for my (apparently mediocre) Dragonite.
I believe they both rely on the exact same algorithm

You get a cached copy of the search until 5 minutes have elapsed since it was done, unless you have moved to a new tile, in which case you do get a new search if the last was more than a minute old.
This is because the backend can do about 3 searches per 5 seconds without hitting any Niantic limits, and there are about 150 people at any time using it.
So if everyome wanted to do a new search every minute that would cut the number of people who can use it at once by a factor of 5.

Just got a lapras from a 10km egg today. Not sure the moves are that good but I'm still happy!
Not much else to focus on once you hit mid 20s tbh
Hopefully increasing the GPS distance tracking frequency is near the top of their list. Loops waste time (and incense) because the checks are so infrequent.
It's also infuriating when you are less than 0.1k from hatching and egg, and you know you have to wait for a whole refresh cycle.
Tracking and bug fixing first obviously, but this is a huge annoyance for me.

I'm only aware of it changing once two week ago. Did it also change two weeks before that?
Ugh. I'm getting worried with my near perfect Dratini. My god if I got a dragon claw.

My only perfect IV so far has been a 200 cp Magnemite... but i wouldn't have it any other way.
The game was released two weeks before that, lol. (Approximately.)
It's definitely possible that the nests will change every three/four weeks or every month. Who knows.
