Ehhhhhh (and I just hatched a Hitmonchan from my 10km egg... already got three Hitmonchan and zero Hitmonlee).
Sweet! I hope I get another one. My only 1 has like 60ish IVs from a egg.. So that one I'll use for attacking / presteiging gyms. I hope to get a higher IV hatch sometime and currently saving my candies for that.

I shouldn't have updated the app. GPS Drift was a big help actually

Same. And the day is switching in 4 hours without me getting my daily spin bonus.
Same thing with me. Niantic responded...
"We are currently experiencing server issues. We are working on a fix & will provide an update when resolved. Thank you for your patience."

I'm still getting major GPS drift indoors. It hasn't changed for me.
The fix is how is how the drift is counted.

Well it's still counting a lot. I hatched two 5k eggs sitting at my desk in three hours.
I'm annoyed at how the gym works. Apart from Dragonite, Gyarados, Snorlax, Rhydon, and Vaporeon, none of the other pokemons have the ability of reaching 30k CP. As a result, it's not surprising that most gyms are populated with nothing but those 5 types. It's boring and not conducive to an interesting gym fights.
And since there are assholes who keeps knocking down their own team's pokemon to keep a higher spot in the ladder, people end up resorting to just put Dragonite in them since it's the only pokemon with the highest possible CP and least amount of Stardust to power up. Fix this BS, Niantic!

Evolved three Machamps. All got Bullet Punch.

Isn't Bullet Punch/Submission a good combo for defense? I actually like Bullet Punch. It looks cool from stylistic POV and it's not another boring quick move that other Pokemon owns.

It's just one of the worst moves in the game.

If you've an Android phone, we got gimped with this update. Hopefully Niantic gets their shit together quickly because Go+ ain't a cheap paperweight.
On a Moto G4 I've gotten half the distance I walk/run for quite a while. I haven't tested precisely since the update.
The update DOES take forever to log in now though, like 30 seconds. It's obnoxious since I have a habit of closing it, or sometimes it gets reset because I switch apps.
Maybe you were running too fast?
It was a pretty quick one.
But there were also some sharp turns that might have been smoothed-over if I was unlucky with the tracking.

Server issues again? Twice in one day? Must be doing something.
I can't get on right now.

Been this way from the very start. It seems that most of my favorite unique monsters (Rapidash, Blastoise, Sandslash, Vileplume, Ninetales) never get to leave the ball even if they are maxed out. That's a damn shame.
Rapidash and Ninetales are okay Exeggutor and Lapras trainers.
Blastoise is better than Vaporeon at training.
Sandslash is an awesome Electric and Fire trainer.
Vileplume is kind of bad because of no Vine Whip.

Training is a ridiculous waste of time! I wouldn't spend two minutes building a spot for a teammate (or myself) ... when everyone who still plays this has the means to take a maxed out gym down to zero in under 10 minutes. If training gave more xp it might be worthwhile for me, but as is, all-out attack focus is the only way to plan to get coins at the gyms in my region.
I wonder what the average level is in your region... People over here are still scraping through lvl. 30 so not every gym is filled with Dragonites, Rhydons and Gyaradoses. I don't know about you, but I can maybe take a lvl. 10 gym down in less than 20 minutes if they're all easy. Against a normal average gym, a battle takes about 30 seconds and a lvl. 10 gym has 44 battles to go through, so it'd take more than 20 minutes. Then again, I don't have Dragonites with Dragon Breath/Dragon Claw...

I like training a lot. It's much more tactical and it gives even weaker Pokemon a value. You really have to think about what Pokemon and moves to use.Fighting is just all about getting those high CP beasts and then tap on the screen like a maniac.
Also when I take down a gym and put my Pokemon in I know that it probably won't stay that long. If I level up a Level 6 gym there are good chances it will stay there for a while.
They should give Evolution Items when you train a gym. It would basically be my only motivation.

Have they upped the 10k drop rate?
I've gotten 5 this week!
And maybe the rare spawns are up a little too?
Had a great day yesterday, caught 20+ Magikarps, two Dratini and two Lapras (three weeks ago I didn't have a single Lapras), as well as two 10K eggs.

What is training? What do you get for it? How's it different from fighting an enemy gym?
Stardust isn't usually a concern of mine, I tend to spend it quite often and gain it back just as quickly. For example, after Sunday I had near 0. Now, as of today Friday, I have over 55k. Prob have 70k after the Sunday 7-day bonus.
Using it to power up my 100% Gyarados.
Speaking of which, at my current rate, I gain about 40+ Magikarp candies a work day. I could easily have a new Gyarados twice a month. lol. I now have 7. All without Twister.

You have to be more careful about which Pokemon you use. So you have to fight harder for the same xp gains.

Hmm, I only regret leveling my early Pokemon. Like my once Tentacruel and other Pokemon when I was below lv 18. Why did I ever level up a Taurus (well, was before the upped the spawns)
But, I don't tend to regret using stardust much these days. Mainly as I gain 50k+ a week easily. Hell, prob spent the last 250k on leveling up my various Gyarados. lol

Think I had over 500k Stardust at one time. Down to 100k now after powering up my Dragonite, Snorlax, Lapras and my 3 Gyarados and 4 Vaporeans.

Hatched a 100% psyduck today. Not bad I guess.
