That feeling when you saw an Omanite you've walked for like 300meters and right when you're about to tap on him he just vanished with error message at the top.

Then my 1st 10km egg pops. Eevee. lol

 

[Yrael]

Ahh i see.

So is it better to just evolve it and try my luck?

If you're satisfied with it IV-wise, then yeah.

Good luck!

 

[Pop]

I'm convinced the capture rates are screwed again.

Edit: Grimer lock up. What a shitty night. Wasted so many ultra balls, haven't caught anything.

 

[StarlordDial]

what the f was that?!

Found an Arcanine

Saw it was ??? so I was like oh boy !

Used a fruit and a ultra ball

runs away

WTF was that

 

[BowieZ]

I dont know why they dont already, what is the point of those achievements? You dont get anything for them and you cant even share them with your friends

What do you mean you can't share them with friends? I've shown mine to my friends and vice versa. You can also send screenshots. Also, achievements are meant to be just that... achievements. They are their own reward.

Well folks, Grimer glitch is still intact. Fed up, I had a buddy sign into my account on his phone just to finally catch it and get the Dex entry... big mistake I think. It freezes not only if I click Grimer, but any Pokemon next to it as well. Gotta be careful with that I suppose.

Have you tried everything? Having a friend log in and try and delete it? Swiping left/right from another Pokemon further in the list rather than clicking on it?

I don't know what was going on today... twenty minutes of incense and lucky egg on, and EVERY Pokemon except like four, no matter what I did (berry, great ball, etc..) broke out on the second wobble and ran away immediately. I've never seen anything like it before. 20+ Pokemon just straight-up stole my resources and ran. Is it a bug? It made me so mad.

You weren't driving or catching a bus and collecting lots of pokestops or something just before you started trying to catch Pokemon, were you?

I've found the game seems to punish me if I've just caught the bus and collected 20-30 stops in a short timeframe. I'm convinced it's a form of soft ban.

 

[Toki767]

So when they add Gen 2 pokemon, are they going to add all of the Unown shapes/variants too?

 

[mugwhump]

Nintendo, Pokemon Company, etc. They probably have set certain parameters that must be respected, and I'm worried that those parameters would prevent certain features from being implemented.

It's possible, but I'm not sure we could even make any decent guesses about what those restrictions might be.

Just got the update. The Appraisal is a nice attempt but isn't it still a bit vague? And then the team leader talks about if the poke is "really tiny" or "really big" for its species but still doesn't expound on what that affects.

Well, right now the size doesn't mean anything (outside of two medals being tied to small Rattata and big Magikarp), so there's nothing else to say.

And yeah, it's kind of vague, but once you know the meanings of the phrases I think they're useful enough for most people.

 

[toythatkills]

Appraisal is useful, ish, because it can really narrow down which Pokémon it's worth putting into an IV checker to see if they're legit good or just 81% good.

I'd much rather just see stats in game, as would everyone except Niantic, but this is better than it was.

The main games do this too, its good enough.

Saw from reddit:



IV 81-100%: Overall, your Pokemon is a wonder! What a breathtaking Pokemon!

IV 67-80%: Overall, your Pokemon has certainly caught my attention

IV 51-66%: Overall, your Pokemon is above average

IV 0-50%: Overall, your Pokemon is not likely to make much headway in battle  

At least 1 max stat of 15: Its stats exceed my calculations. It’s incredible!

At least 1 max stat of 13-14: I am certainly impressed by its stats, I must say

At least 1 max stat of 8-12: Its stats are noticeably trending to the positive

Max stat of 0-7: Its stats are not out of the norm, in my opinion

stats would be fine, but would much rather them focus on making more pokemon useful and making weakness and strength the same as the game.

It's silly how easy it is for a water pokemon to beat up most grass or electric pokemon.

or how something like water gun is so fast while moves like quick attack are super slow.

ect.

I mean if we had a real type advantage that would go a long way for gym balance... but even then pokemon need to be more balanced in general.

I am not saying a level 21 beedrill should be able to take out a level 21 dragonite, but at the very least a level 21 beedrill should be able to take out a level 12 dragonite and I still believe that wouldn't even be a close match in the current system.

same with oynx. ect.

what ever I will just continue to use the game as motivations for walks, and hatching eggs, and hope the rare time I can take down a gym other people won't continue to be asses and snipe gyms.

at the very least, I really wish I didn't go team blue.
they are either way to devoted, or assholes, have not found much in the middle at all.

though to be fair team yellow seems to be the cheater team (thus have mostly vanished from my town after the last ban wave lol)

and team red seems to be the team that will be banned when they implement name reporting as they feature such great names as "69urmom" and "BigDongAsian"

can I just join team rocket? liberating pokemon from these asshole trainers seems like the most honorable thing to do

Evolved my magikarp into a 84% Gyrados. Still in 1694cp after a few upgrades though.

Came with Bite and Dragon Pulse

Mine has this too unfortunately

Can someone please link the updated attacker/defender tier list, I need to favorite it because I just can't find it on Google.

 

[orion434]

How accurate are the IV calculators? I had evolved a 100% Psyduck and the appraisal says it's not good for battle?

Which calculator did you use? Pogobag and Torkoal were flawless, but I guess it's risky to use them even though no one was banned.

 

[Nikokuno]

Somebody can redirect me for the new pokemon nearby password?

If you make a dummy account for PTC through Pokemon nearby on it auto generates mate

 

[Snkfanatic]

Terrible spawns near my place last night. Went walking to hatch a bunch of 5k eggs, so many things I didn't need but I did get a Machop egg so that allowed me to get his second evo. I hoped to get a ton of 10k eggs on my ride to work this morning but only one 10k and a mix of 2 and 5s.....bleh.

Also used an incense while walking and every single spawn was a Pidgey. lol

Oh well, hopefully tonight will be better.

 

[Nightbird]

The bliss of having a Spawn right in your house, and knowing exactly when a new Pokémon spawns. I love it!

 

[Frillen]

What is the new password?

 

[Nikokuno]

👌

 

[cHinzo]

Hope people here don't share the password on stuff like Facebook and Reddit. Playing Pokemon GO without nearby is awful over here. Turns into an egg hatching simulator. 😣

[Achtius]

I think they mixed up team valor's "I'm blown away by its stats" and "it got excellent stats"

 

[Snkfanatic]

So the only way to use Nearby now is to create an account that will get banned? Guess I will just go back to using the in game stuff for now lol.

I don't need the anxiety of seeing an account get banned, I know it sounds strange xD but my main account is a PTC account and I don't want to risk it.

 

[Fuu]

you're right. edited it to a fixed version.

 

[cHinzo]

At least it was no Twister! U got the second best move.

 

[Nightbird]

I just provided a Dummy account I used for an different app.

Glad to have nearby back

 

[Daimos]

Seems to be very accurate, my 100% Hypno was correctly identified.

 

[(mat)]

Followed the instructions. Incredibly happy to see nearby back up.

 

[DrkSage]

Nvm, just had a vaporeon ruin all of it >:|

 

[jellies_two]

Followed the instructions. Incredibly happy to see nearby back up.

There is no risk tossing one throwaway account you create into the hat to get the updated password. If you are concerned about the minuscule possibility they might tie the ip creating the account, to your real account, do it from a desktop.
The accounts you toss in will get used till they are banned like the last batch was. no comeback to you.
Sorry for the up and down, and uncertainty of it all.

 

[Pachimari]

Where are these instructions and password for nearby?

 

[Firemind]

TIL you don't need to tap items to pick them up. The game will automatically pick them up for you.

Also you can revive Pokemon by powering them up. Saves a revive!

Unfortunately, it would look as if Team Instinct isn't actually getting a third of the participants, making them hardly a balance changer. But even then, it's much better than in Ingress.

Actually, Instinct is slowly taking over my town. Mystic and Valor are surrendering!

Or maybe no one has Revives yet because they all trashed it. :lol

 

[Omzz]

I'm not seeing where I can contribute an account? All it's asking for is a password. Help?

 

[JonathanEx]

https://pokemonnearby.io/help.html has the process to create an acct and get the password

 

[IXI FalcoN]

Just donated a dummy account to the cause and have nearby working good as new! Thank you so much jellies, great idea to get this back up and running.

 

[-MB-]

Made a new dummy account for pokemonnearby and it gave me the new password only for me to get greeted with the same message of the password being reset. What gives?

Jellies, thanks for all your hard work

Could you suggest a easy place to set up a dummy email?

[RazorbackDB]

So anyone who contributes an account can get the password now? can I give the address to some friends?

 

[blazenumb1]

Recently hatched a Chancey, 349 CP but 305 HP, with attacks of 15 and 55.

For anyone who has one, how do the fare in gyms? I would think they would be a good defender.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

So this morning was interesting. So I find this and I'm like "Oh snap"

Then I find him and it's all:

=/

I'm Level 21 and I get this. My sister is Level 16, caught it and hers was 777.

Oh, and that CP 36? Yeah, it ran away,

Damn.

I also saw one couple hours ago after I evolved my magikarp.
It got 1.4k cp.
