You get a lot of candy for a 10k egg. e.g., So if you hatch a low CP Snorlax, just hold onto the candy for a future Snorlax catch/hatch.

Roger that, Thx and noted.

 

[T.O.P]

Is the shop working for you guys? i'm getting always a blank page when i try to bring it up

 

[heavy liquid]

I'm a hair away from level 21 and have yet to see a 10k egg. It's infuriating. I even bought some incubators to hatch a bunch of eggs in hopes of finding one.

T-mobile people, remember to log into the tmobile tuesday app today for a couple freebies, especially if you can use one year of unlimited data for PoGo.

Thanks for the reminder. I had no idea that you had to redeem the unlimited data thing and assumed it was just passively active.

Is there any way to practice battling without it being a live battle at a Gym?

Also be prepared for Eevee. 3 of my 6 10km eggs have been Eevee.

My one and only one has been Porygon :3

Unless egg contents are determined when the egg is picked up

They are.

Yep, you have to click redeem on each thing, whether it's the free frosty or a year of data, lol.

Nope! One of the biggest limiting factors in getting good at the actual battle mechanics with dodging and attack timing. You have to be there.

I got 3 yesterday within two hours. I'm only lvl 8.

RNGesus hopefully hatches me something good.

Wow, really? I am only level 6 and I have 4 10 km eggs in my inventory.

 

[Hawkian]

I've had 3 10km eggs and I'm level 16. It would appear to be wholly random.

I always try and throw a Pokeball when the circle is as small as possible, but I've seen absolutely no pattern whatsoever when it comes to getting "Nice", "Great", and "Excellent" throws. With the exception of getting "Nice" most times when I wait a split second too long as the circle is at it's largest point. But there have also been times when I've got "Nice" when the circle is quite small too.

I've also got "Great" and "Excellent" a few times, but for the most part it seems entirely random whether I get it or not.

I don't understand it at all.

I think the bonus is for getting the ball to hit inside the circle. The smaller the circle is, the bigger the bonus. Hitting inside a large circle = "Nice," hitting inside a medium circle = "Great," and hitting inside a small circle = "Excellent."

At least, my experience seems to bear this out.

I think it's something like Nice! at 100%-51% circle size, Great! at 50%-11% circle size, and Excellent! at 10% circle size or less. It's really hard to tell though, especially since the capture circle sizes change from pokemon to pokemon.

How do you all have so much Stardust? I constantly find myself running out or low, but I see some here with really high Stardust Surplus. Is that just from Gym/Training battles and catching Pokemon or am I missing another method of getting it?

Then you must be using it - don't do that until it's really worth it

I basically never use it. But then, I've battled at gyms like twice. There's no need for my Pokemon to be particularly strong just yet, I'll wait until I'm higher level and catching more innately powerful mons first.

Do not use stardust to level up pokemon until you are like level 20 (and then you might not even need to). I am at 150.000 Stardust or something at the moment and still have strong pokemon to fight gyms with.

The Pokemon I catch and evolve at level 22 are strong enough without levelling up anyway.

 

[Lilalaunebaer]

yeah the servers are gone (vienna)

 

[LucidMomentum]

Going to the park for a couple hours tonight. Hoping to maybe try taking a gym and / or leveling up to 12-13.

My Team Instinct shirt came in yesterday, and I've ordered some props / different outfit items for a Team Instinct Scientist costume.

Thinking of ways to hide a USB charger inside the prop Pokeball I'm making...

Ah, that would actually explain why I get "Nice" whenever the circle is literally at it's very largest. In that case, I'm going to aim for that from now on, and throw the ball when it's at it's largest, as aiming for a really small circle for "Great" or "Excellent" is really difficult.

So none of the millions upon millions of players had seen these supposed region exclusives outside their reported 'homes', then this one guy comes along and finds Farfetch'd AND Kangaskhan in the US? I don't buy it.

There's not much point in using Stardust until you're quite a high level. As you level up, you'll catch/hatch stronger Pokemon, so spending Stardust to power them up at a low level is a waste.

If you're going to challenge gyms before reaaching a high level, just find ones that aren't too high for you.

Can anyone explain this vertical line on the gym screen:

Here it's between the crown and the dots, but sometimes it divides groups of dots from each other.

 

[John Dunbar]

is the augmented reality camera thing considered to be an actual draw by any significant number of players? my phone is rubbish so i keep it turned off, but seeing a pokemon awkwardly floating on a sidewalk or whatever really holds no interest for me anyway.

You can get some funny photos from it so that's the draw and plenty seem to be doing just that. 99% of the time tho I'm just flicking pokeballs tryna catch feckers

Kids love it.

My wife and I were at the park last Friday and everytime a kid found a new pokemon they had to give their phone to their parents to take a picture with it.

My wife also has one from work where it appears a Pidgey was creeping on her in the bathroom when she walked in.

Not sure but on the base of gyms around me the line indicates where > 1000CP Pokemon start when the gym has more than 5 pokemon.

I love the novelty of it, so I usually keep it on. I actually wish there was an option to take Pokemon you already have into an AR screen to take pictures with.

I am a child.

I don't think i was ever able to get an Excellent tbh

I made note of my "excellent" hits, and they almost always seem to pop up when the circle is about half way, or medium as you put it.

This sounds about right. It applies to the gym nearest me right now.

When you fight the gym, you will only fight the first five Pokémon. The other Pokemon will only be available to fight once you lower the level of the gym.

 

[Laws00]

i've waited 3 to 5 minutes

it ask me to log in every time I play but i think since i deleted everything my guess is that its trying to retrieve all the data from the server that got deleted. that was my guess

 

[Pachimari]

How have lvl 20 guys been so quick to level up, even with the Pidgey farm in mind it's incredible.

 

[Cudder]

Wait, when you're battling at a gym, you have to tap your own Pokemon to attack? This whole time I've been tapping on the enemies...

 

[Obscuritas]

This is a question you should never ask yourself in a MMO.

This game... it's so fun when it actually functions but atm it's just frustrating most of the time
