No, they increase the catch rate as described and have no effect on flee rate. I don't know where the myth about it affecting flee rate came from.

They are I believe, only a select few and only through eggs.

A high CP Gyarados has enough of a fear factor anyway, it doesn't matter for defending. My 2700 cp has Twister and locks down gyms for long periods of time.

Only thing gyarados is good for is its CP. The moves don't really matter.
Yeah i try this but i HAVE TO restart often while on data because of stupid bugs or crashes :/

Supposedly the 10km egg rates went up but I haven't gotten one in a few weeks.
Same. It's been more than a month since the last 10km I got...
Evolved a bunch because I'm bored of trying to min-max and having these things sitting around for an eventual mass evolve. Blastoise, Butterfree, Pidgeot, Ninetales, Vileplume, Poliwrath and Dragonair are now added to the pokedex.
Almost did Raichu too, but I can wait until the end of Santachu season for that one.

Walked to the store and back, and found a Vulpix to finish off my Ninetales (such a gorgerous Pokemon!) and then popped an egg to get the Ekans I needed for Arbok (also really cool looking). That's another two off the list. No gen 2 in three eggs hatched though, although I don't know if my chances will improve with new eggs.
Hoping for some kind of event for Christmas. It would be nice to get some boosts of some rares, but on the other hand I've been walking this damn Charmander for months now, and it would be kind of lame if I suddenly got a ton of them for free.

yep, that's why I'm waiting haha. I have a high IV Pikachu ready to go, but it won't hurt to wait until the end of the month to see if I can find an 82~100% Santachu.

I've hatched 14 new eggs since the update and no gen 2 Pokemon yet. Once my incubators are done with the next 4 eggs I have then I'll be done with the game, level 30, 141 in the dex, I can live with that. Can't do anything about Hitmonchan and Aerodactyl unless they add trading one day.

Hatched this little beauty just now...
I'm taking a look at the thread of the worst games you played this year
and I'm surprised to see the amount of people saying Pokémon Go, lol. I've been addicted to this game since day one and I gotta agree that the software as a whole, simply sucks. Tons of bugs, missing features, failures and slowdowns... Yet I keep playing it. On the other hand it's also my current GOTY because all the experiences, people I meet and all the places I've been that I didn't knew we had on the city thanks to this game.
Nice! From a 2, 5 or 10 km egg??

10km I think.
Got 85 Pokemon in stand by for a mass evolve. I also replaced my Charmeleon by a Poliwag for walking. I have 100 candies to evolve him if necessary but it is pointless to keep walking to 125 if I don't have a high cp charmander to use those on. Then I rather finish up the 9 remaining poli candy.

Popped a 10k egg, got Hitmonlee, so-so IV, transerred. Waste of an incubator.

Thanks.
I´m not that hyped abaut Baby Pokemon to be honest. I wish they would release 20 or so new Mons at Christmas or at least have some kind of Event like before.
Only Baby Pokemon and Santachu for Christmas would be disappointing.

Hatched they eggs since update and haven't gotten a single baby. Goddamit so much.
People judge Pokémon Go as a traditional game. In that sense, it indeed sucks. Very limited game interactivity with most of the game being based on grinding.
However, as an app that accompanies you when you take a walk or stuff like that it's great. I use it everyday as I go to and return from work and not much else but it's fun using it like that.

I love all the new spawns Niantic added! Like the ones they removed near my house. Why...
Same here. I was obsessed in the first couple of months I played it and then got burned out. After one month not playing the game I started again the way it's intended (opening it just while going on walks, going to and back from work, etc), and it's been much better. The new tracking is making a world of difference for me too as expected.
People are allowed to play however they want of course, but it's a bit silly to judge the game on merits that it's not even aspiring to achieve.
Yeah.
I'm not playing it (let alone paying Niantic another cent) until they properly release Gen 2. In fact, knowing that they're going to draw out Gen 2 for 6 months makes it far less appealing to even bother.
I know Pokemon GO is *not* a traditional Pokemon game, so it's not quite fair to compare it to the meaty experience of the traditional Game Freak games, but once you catch as much as you can in a reasonable timeframe, the game is basically over. Even attempting to take over and hold gyms is pointless (let alone twice as hard now) given that the coins can only be spent on a lottery system to win a couple of new prizes that nobody gives a shit about any more since almost everyone stopped playing months ago.
A shame, at best, and an embarrassment, really, at worst... given how much potential it had.
But thank God Pokemon Sun/Moon is a marvellous experience.

Still no Santachu. Girlfriend becoming increasingly desperate. I have enclosed a message in a bottle, addressed to Niantic.
Godspeed, bottle.

I have lost about fifty pounds playing the game on a daily basis, so I think Pokemon Go sort of "transcends" normal gaming. It's had so many benefits in my life in finding new friends that I am rather grateful for.

I love pokemon, I truly do. I've been playing since Gold/Silver, and have invested my money throughout my life on Nintendo handhelds specifically for a new Pokemon game.
However, I'm in my mid-thirties and it's getting harder for me to find hours in a day to play a mainline Pokemon game. Sun and Moon was an amazing experience from the top down, but like all mainline games, the post-game is a big time investment. Personally, GameFreak's "one step forwards, two steps back" philosophy really hit me this time,
because they made IV checking/manipulation so easy, but made EV training and quickly leveling up a frustrating chore.
Pokemon Go has been a totally different, but better experience overalldespite the tracking fiasco, completely shallow gameplay with no real "end", communications issues, and overall unbalance with pokemon availability (There's more Pallet Towns than Celedon Cities in the real world). It's the only game I can play with my girlfriend (she loves this game and didn't care for Pokemon in the past). I still see families playing this game together on their walks. Some days I get antsy to go outside to hatch eggs and find a good nest to grind. This can be argued, but the gym/battling has been marginally better since launch; it's more enjoyable (my girlfriend and I have created a sort of PvP: since we are on red/blue teams, we take down an Instinct gym and then one of us fight a defender we put up 1-on-1, but only using super-effective moves as a way to teach her about type-matchups. Whoever "wins" claims the gym.)
My time invested in Pokemon Go just feels more fulfilling than playing Pokemon Sun/Moon.
Apparently, GO on Apple Watch is cancelled for time being unless there's support asking for it from the fans. That sucks for those who were waiting.

Actually, Niantic says otherwise. I guess the above is not true...

Today's been productive. On my way to a Company Holiday Lunch I found a Dragonair! Got a 91% IV SantaChu as well at the lunch-in. So I now have a nice Raichu I can evolve to have a RaichuClause. Was on a Pokestop, so was able to get a bunch of items every 5 minutes (PoGo+ so didn't needed to even open phone)
Then, I later went to a park near my house that is now a Onix nest. Caught 5 and 1 that was 86.7% and 773CP. So it will be a nice one to evolve. Have 36 candy with 5 ready to transfer. I'll go back again in a few days to get more candy.

Your steadfast OP tried out the Pokemon Go Frappe at Starbucks today. I had to ask and they're like "wat" and then they went to the back and figured it out.
It's basically crushed Rattatas. What else are they going to do with the candy?
Actually it's a "Razz" Berry Frappe, kind of a raspberry and coffee combo. Mom said it tasted a bit like white chocolate with raspberry but I didn't quite get that.
It's not to bad, but I'm not a frequent Starbucks patron. $4.25 was the price of the small if anyone out there is interested. If I was Starbucks I would have actually called it a Razz Berry Frappe or made a Pikachu design on the cup or something. Meh.
Yours looks wayyyyyy different than mine. I thought it was pretty solid
There's actually no coffee in it at all. It's basically just milk, sugar, vanilla powder, raspberry syrup, dried raspberries, and ice blended together. It's just way too sweet -- even with raspberries blended in I can't taste anything but sugar in it. I think if they had left out the vanilla powder (which is mostly sugar) and the raspberry syrup, it would have been much better.
Why bother with the post-game then? The main campaign is enough, no?
And honestly, as a huge fan of Pokemon GO, I don't see how one is any less of a time sink than the other. Both require huge time investments to complete the Pokedexes.
Either way, the main goal in S&M (IMHO) is to beat the final villain or whatever, which takes, what, 30-50 hours? Whereas there is no real goal in GO except to complete the 'Dex, which isn't really possible until trading comes out anyway.
