Curse you, moto x play t_t
Awesome, thanks for the responses. I've been paying more attention to the CP wheel than anything else, so it's good to know I've been doing the right thing. Should probably also look at the moves though, but I always forget.
Can't wait to hit level 20. Currently I'm halfway through 18...
You get 12 if you hatch an egg. Or if you know somewhere where they're common, I suppose.
I only got 5 when mine hatched. Wish I got that many when it hatched. lol

There are Geodudes everywhere in my city. Just catching Geodudes all day err day.

Well now I read the whole thing, maybe he is a bit justified at getting angry
20 is a little extreme. That sounds like not a lot of fun to me. But if you want to min/max instead of just playing the game then yeah I guess. Low-mid teens I think would be more realistic, and even then you're gonna want to evolve Pidgey/Rattata/etc before that just to speed up the process some.

why won't they think of the children
The guy was on the radio today. He didn't seem all that angry as the article made him sound.

So excluding Legendaries, Snorlax is the most OP Pokemon?

He has the highest CP but I think a vaporeon with Water gun is the best attacking pokemon.
Apparently stats are based on the mainline Pokemon game stats, but for whatever reason speed is valued at 1/10th as much as stamina and attack, which is why all the fast Pokemon are underpowered in Go
Personally I'm hoping it was a decimal place error and that they'll fix it. It makes no sense for electric Pokemon to be weaker than water Pokemon of similar level

Hah Justin Bieber was out yesterday playing Pokemon Go in Grand Army Plaza NYC. Awesome.
Maybe it varies depending on the distance. I haven't kept a close eye on it but I've definitely seen +12 candy from eggs.

Question;
All of the same pokemon have the same max CP, right? So say if you kept your starting Charmander, collected candies but discarded the caught higher CP ones and then waiting until max level to power him up until max. That would still reach the maximum for Charmander right? So 955.24.
So if I only ever caught one Victreebell at a low CP, I could still get it to max potential CP that a Victreebell could ever get through power ups?
I think it does. I got 31 Scyther candies when I hatched mine.

I don't think it is an exact set number. I hatched two Psyducks back to back from 5k eggs (never seen one in wild let alone caught one) and before transferring either of them I had 41 Psyduck candies, so they had to give different amounts.
Interesting.
I think there are stats both internal and user-visible (height and weight?) that determines the max CP. So if you powered up a Victreebell from a low CP to max CP for your level, it may end up higher or lower than one you caught at max CP for your level.
I have seen conflicting accounts, and i couldnt find an answer right away, but can someone speak to evolution strategies for pokemon?
Is it better to level up the base one as much as possible before evolving, is it better to just find as high a base pokemon as possible or maybe to find an evolved second form and go from there? Any insight on the process is appreciated.

I think the consensus right now is anything that's high on your current CP bar. If that's a lower evolution Pokémon, then get enough candy to evolve it. But it makes no difference if you power up before or after evolution.
I don't know the numbers but I've heard people say it doesn't matter either way.

Soooo... Nearby is more broken than ever for me now... Everything is permanently at 3, Pokémon will pop up constantly without ever being on the nearby, and stuff will stay on the list well after I should have left the area. And this is walking at normal speed, even immediately after fresh reboots. Cool.
Yeah it's really fucking annoying. Pokemon get stuck on there and you can't tell if you're actually around them any more.
Fucking sluts.
Thanks for the quick replies. I'm just trying to find the highest CP mons I can and evolve them accordingly to get those big power bumps. I caught some pretty strong guys lately so after an evolution they should be pretty beefy, just trying to figure out the best way to do it.
We believe this is deliberate to help with server load. So until they restore it, it will only display Pokémon within a certain radius without regard to which are closer.
When Pokémon appear that aren't on the Nearby list, they've probably just been spawned by the server.
For me, Stardust is a much more important currency than candy, so I'd definitely evolve the higher CP pokemon even if I already have the higher evolution.
Yeah, my strategy is to evolve Pokémon whose CP is about 85% full or more, they all turn out pretty good if the species isn't shit-tier. It's rare that you catched evolved versions that high, but sometimes you get lucky.
IMO, save the Stardust for powering up your highest CP Pokémon to keep up as your trainer levels up.
Are golf courses a haven for Pokemon? I may need to hit the links!

The city centre was full of people playing PoGo. I've never seen something like this regarding a videogame. Strangers talking to each other, going hunting together and then asking for each other's phone numbers etc. There were also a lot of lures active.
Had a really prolific time just sitting there with strangers capturing Pokemon as they spawned. Went from never seeing a Psyduck to almost having enough candy to get a Golduck. Also captured a lot of pokemon I didn't have before and got enough candy to evolve Venonat, Eeevee and Oddish; the game was running butter smooth as well despite being there a lot of people. Great time overall

Tracking is so bad right now. Unless you have a large group to crowdsource rare pokemon locations it's almost impossible. GF and I chased down a polywrath, warturtle, and gravel and we couldnt find any of them.
Wow. I would love to see what is in Copenhagen, Denmark, if you could sent it to my PM?

Couldn't find a Clefairy or a Kakuna today because of it.
(Weedle is stupidly rare in my area)

The candies you get from eggs is pretty random I noticed. Only consistent is that 2k eggs give smallish amounts. I've gotten magikarps that gave a 3 and then a 9.
5k eggs for me give a decent amount of candies. At least 10 normally. A Voltorb hatched and gave me 21 candies. Some eggs gave me 23 another gave me 10.
So it varies, even from Pokemon to pokemon that are hatched.
I'm curious how many I'll get from my 1st 10k egg, whenever I end up getting one.

I've felt like they've constantly made some changes to their system to make a greater variety of pokemon show up in any given area.
