'Pryo' should be 'Pyro' by the way.

First Eevee:

Possible combinations: 5, perfection:
Maximum : 75.6%
Average: 72.9%
Minimum : 71.1%
Max level: 20

Second Eevee:

Showing first 20 combinations. Possible combinations: 27, perfection:
Maximum : 71.1%
Average: 47.2%
Minimum : 24.4%
Max level: 12

Third Eevee:

Possible combinations: 11, perfection:
Maximum : 77.8%
Average: 69.7%
Minimum : 64.4%
Max level: 10

Wait until you get better Eevee's (90% perfection or more). You don't have enough candies right now anyway to evolve all 3 of them :)

You can check IV's here: https://pokeassistant.com/main/ivcalculator
Thanks for this and the link!

U are gonna be sad if u don't change the second Eevee to Pyro instead. :p
Thanks for the correction.

My Pokedex is effectively 139 (I have the candies to evolve Charizard and Alakazam, but am waiting for a better Charmander/Abra) and the last three I have left until I've caught everything in North America are:

Porygon (Hoping to hatch one. I'm due some egg luck considering I've had to catch every single rare pokemon in the wild)
Kabutops (35/50 Kabuto candy, so nearly there)

...and Hypno (26/50 Drowzee candy, including a hatched egg).

Yes, my rarest evolving pokemon is one of the most common pokemon in the world.

Also these Pokedex entries are disturbing.

Oh yeah, and I caught this Squirtle today:

Percentage isn't outside of the ordinary, but its attack IV is above 3. Was the attack IV bug fixed?

Actually, looking at a Bulbasaur I caught yesterday, was the attack IV bug replaced with a stamina IV bug?

Just ran out and caught another Squirtle to test. This one is a regular old bad attack starter.

What app are you using to see the IV's in-game? Is there a chance of getting banned?

Starmie 1234CP 95%+ IV Water Gun/Hydro Pump


Worth pumping in my remaining candy?

lucky.
mine has quick attack.

which really might be the slowest attack in the game.
it's sooooo slow @_@
so dumb as well @_@

*note it likely isn't the slowest attack, but when jumping from water gun from a vaporeon to that... it feels stupid slow for something called quick attack @_@

I think my hype for this is officially deflated. I've lost hope of it coming to Korea any time soon and by the time it does, the rest of the world will have moved on. Oh well. It was fun for the week I got to play while visiting Japan.

Can chime in on the increased spawn rate, saw three Mr. Mimes in like 30 minutes yesterday. Prior to that I think I've seen two in total since I started playing.

I have 10 Pokemon I can evolve right now. But even with a Lucky Egg, I wouldn't have enough to level up :\

sucks.

No Charmander spawn in my area. No fire Pokemon in general spawn. 1 might spawn every week at best.

Just caught a Mr. Mime 2 mins away from my house, so in my suit I run down the street at 6:30am in the rain and caught that beast, glad I'd had my Weetabix

Fire Pokes are reeeally scarce for me. I've seen wild Growlithe and Vulpix but it's extremely rare. Never seen a Charmander.

Grass and Water are everywhere.
 
So how do we know the move changes are 100% confirmed? I'm arguing with a hard headed friend and it seems he will only accept official confirmation from Niantic or data mining.

Not needed, the changes are already here, although they could probably remove/replace the moves of existent Pokémon in the next big update.

In Vegas I've seen wild Magmars, charmanders, growlithe, Vulpix, etc. We got fire types coming out of our ears. I caught a Flareon in my apartment complex the other day.

Grass and Water types are extremely rare though. I got excited over my first weedle.
 
Weedles are so common here that I used them along with Pidgeys for my mass evolution.

I decided to do the evolving with around 40 Pokémon, got from level 12 to 16! I hope wild Pokémon will have better CP now.

I went fishing today (the real fishing, not for Pokemons).. and to my surprise, a Lapras spawned... it was a 100% IV Lapras!

But the moveset is not ideal from what I been reading .. Ice Shard + Blizzard .. seems like Frost Breath + Blizzard is the better move set?

...hate me...
Even just walking the dogs I got about half the distance in Pkgo that I actually walked. Hell, I even got the "going too fast" prompt where I'm forced to say "I'm a passenger" while just walking! What about another button saying "nope, I'm not in a car you just suck at programming".

Small things that frustrate me as I'm heading towards Pokedex completion, although there's still a ways to go. Hopefully I don't get burnt out before it.
 
Someone got my accout last week and I was able to retrieve it by going to the ptc site and saying I forgot my password. They sent an email to my adress with a link to reset it. Try that?

Thanks, that's what I ended up doing. I had to click on "forgot password"

In general, higher - this means you will have to use less stardust and candies to get that mon to a higher CP.

(This is assuming you/your son doesn't particularly care about IVs)

umm.. What are IV's? lol are they so important or only for hardcore players?

I'm using this website now https://www.torkoal.com/

I transfer pokemons with less attack powers ignoring the CP somehow

So I've seen a few people complain that they've been banned claiming only they ever used pgnexus type websites. I know someone that got banned but they used Pokemon manager website as well, I'm going stop using pgnexus and hope they don't drop the hammer.

Looking at the DPS, Frost Breath is better, but not by much. The key thing to get is Blizzard, which is by far the best DPS for Lapras. So while you got the 2nd best possible Lapras, it only came second by a very small amount.

Also, I believe when a Pokemon is defending a gym, its attack is locked to hit every 1.5 seconds anyway. So Ice Shard might actually be optimal. So when I think about it, you might have the perfect Lapras.

But I'm not an expert on this, so don't take my word for it.

I think the spawn rates on water type Poke's is too common, Nearly every gym is run by a water type
That's because every grass pokemon is a three stager except exeggutor and tangela who sucks. Then there are water types who carry ice attacks, lapras being the best gym defender currently and electric types who are all ass. Please save us, Lord Zapdos!

Man I don't get it how you can talk about Lapras and saying best Lapras is the one with that moveset....yet i havent even got a Lapras and would be proud to get one, I once saw one in the wild, but that was back in the day when servers were crashing all over the place so I never caught it....

My Poliwrath that I raised all the way up from a Poliwhirl has solid IVs (high 80's), but seems like he has a shit moveset. Mud shot and Ice fist, no water moves. Am I right on this or is it as not as bad as it seems? Trying to decide whther to start powering him up.

I'm in the same situation as you, got a poliwag with 88% iv (ATK:15 DEF:12 STA:13) decided to catch a bunch of poliwags to evolve him and ended up with a poliwrath with mud shot and ice fist

Unfortunately...I'd say it's not worth it. It might've been okay still if it had Bubble and Ice Punch, but as it is even a mediocre Poliwrath with Bubble will completely outclass it. IVs don't matter anywhere near as much as the moveset.

Still, hang on to it in case we get a way to switch up movesets in the future.

It sucks when you grind so hard to get a good evo and it gets shit moves. I recently got my blastoise, without visiting a single squirtle nest so the grind was real. ~90% IV, bite + flash cannon :(
 
Didn't know that :(

Any more pokemon that flee after the first throw?
No, though Caterpie and Weedle are skewed a bit towards fleeing.

Abra's 100% flee rate after the first toss is based off of the main series games: Wild Abra will always use Teleport and escape the very first turn of the battle (unless you use a move or have a Pokémon with an ability that bars this).

They will always flee after the first throw, so you'd better make that first throw good.

I had no idea. I've caught 6 so far. (Seen 7)

I did see the shadow of an Abra evolution on my sightings thingy...but no idea if it was a Kadabra or an Alakazam.

Couldn't find it :(

Raz Berry + Ultra Ball for Abra.

He is the only one in the first generation. If they are mean, they'll do the same for Suicune, Entei and Raikou when they introduce the second generation.

Ahhh I see, thanks guys!
