How do you get the evo items?

 

[Bedameister]

How do you get the evo items?

Yeah, anybody already got one?

 

[Dr. Malik]

How do you get the evo items?

Drops from PokeStops I believe

 

[Benzychenz]

Either they're super rare or not in the game yet lol

 

[Dishwalla]

Doubt anyone can do better than that honestly

Also got a CP 94 Meganium and had a Totodile run off on me. Murkrow are everywhere here.

Hit a ton of Pokestops and got two 10 k eggs, but no evolutionary items. Guess they are harder to get than I thought.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

Did they add new overworld music for night time or had that always been there?

 

[HammerOfThor]

First Gen. 2 Pokémon!



Also evolved a Golbat into Crobat. Disappointed at the low CP but Crobat is so cool.

1 candy to evolve???

 

[Icyflamez96]

Move buffs seem very reasonable overall. Really like how it's lookin.

 

[jnWake]

1 candy to evolve???

Seems it was a glitch. I was like "what?!", clicked evolve, and the game said there was a server issue.

Needless to say, poor gal didn't evolve.

 

[Yoshimitsu126]

I went to find a Slugma that appeared in a nearby pokestop but then I found a yanma too!

 

[Benzychenz]

Hatched Tyrogue from a 5km egg. Takes 25 candy to evolve.

Appraising it told me it's defence was highest stat and it evolved into Hitmonchan which matches the main games, but that could be a coincidence.
If we need to find one with balanced attack and defence to get Hitmontop though... oh man.

More importantly, this should mean Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan are gone from 10km eggs, combined with Onix, Pinsir and Scyther already in 5km there's pretty much only good stuff left.

 

[JavyOO7]

My day was already great but it got even better when at 6pm EST there were gen 2 Pokémon roaming around. Spinarak was my first one. Happy hunting to everybody!

 

[Not]

I stopped playing since the new nearby feature rolled out. It just wasn't fun for me to only know what was at PokéStops.

GAF, how do I make the most of this feature? What am I missing?

Can anyone link me to a good way to use the new tracker?

 

[LucidMomentum]

The first big update in months and it's raining AND I HAVE A COLD.

AAAAGH.

 

[Bedameister]

Can anyone link me to a good way to use the new tracker?

Why you need a link. Just run around until there is a Pokemon you want on the nearby, klick on it, klick on the footprint symbol, game shows you the pokestop it's at, go there, catch it.

 

[Ashodin]

I GOT A YANMA YEAAA

But are Pokémon only at Poké Stops now? I liked it when they could be found anywhere.

 

[Benzychenz]

Just got Elekid from a 5km as well.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

any region exclusives going on?

 

[Yoshimitsu126]

Just got Elekid from a 5km as well.

Whoa and these used to only hatch from 10km eggs right?

 

[Replicant]

Save your Dragon Claws, Dragonites can no longer learn them. Thankfully I got 2 already.

 

[Takashi]

First day of gen 2 and I found a Larvitar

Terrible stats though

Hoping Larvitar isn't as elusive as Dratini since it's still gonna take ages to walk enough just for my first Dragonite.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

I need an evee nest

How many candies? Please tell me it's not some stupid high number for my beloved Tyranitar.

 

[Dishwalla]

Probably 100.

 

[Takashi]

It says 25 for Pupitar

I'm assuming it will be 100 for Tyranitar since it's a pseudo legendary

pokemon are still everywhere, they are just impossible to track anywhere that isn't next to a pokestop.

 

[IronFistedChampion]

Uhh guys... I just caught my first Dragonite ever tonight It was over 2000CP but... the movesets are way different than what they're supposed to be. Did they update the movesets also? I'm kinda disappointed to be honest :/

 

[HardRojo]

Is there a radar I can use on iOS or my Windows laptop? Also, I found a Quilava randomly when I was on my way back home, fucker was at level 1 though

 

[JavyOO7]

They can still be found anywhere. My apartment complex has plenty of spawn points and no Pokéstops, unfortunately. Still good.

 

[Not]

HOW IS THE GAME STILL PLAYABLE

 

[JavyOO7]

I should have taken a picture...

I usually throw curveballs and 'great!' on a Pokemon and you'd get 160EXP. If you succeed this now in the first try you get a 'first throw' bonus giving you an additional 50 EXP. Right?

HOW IS THE GAME STILL PLAYABLE

You walk around an area enough and you'll know where all the spawn points are. That's what I do anyway. TSR on their page has a 'tracker' to help you with Pokemon that are on sightings.

[Pachimari]

Damn yeah, caught my first Gen II Pokemon! Probably the most common of them all lol. A Murkrow.

 

[HardRojo]

Yeah, First throw bonuses have been implemented in this update. I'll try and catch more Pokémon tomorrow. I actually saw people playing in the streets today lol, good stuff.

They did. Dragonites can no longer learn Dragon Claw. Not sure about Dragon Breath.

 

[GulAtiCa]

Ah man did they nerf lapras? All mine are down 300cp.

 

[IronFistedChampion]

They did. Dragonites can no longer learn Dragon Claw. Not sure about Dragon Breath.

Is there a list of all the updated moveset changes?

 

[hydragonwarrior]

FYI melee attacks took a serious attack speed dive and you'll def feel it when prestiging. At the same time, charge attacks like Hydro Pump and Blizzard come out almost instacast so until that's fixed, get ready to dodge a lot.

Attacking is really way too slow imo, but on the flip side nearly EVERY charge move got buffed - even twister. And good lord does Solar Beam own.

Hasn't that always been the case? If I want to kill something quickly, I'll just use an Exeggutor with Solar Beam, especially if it's Snorlax or Vaporeon in my way.

 

[Icyflamez96]

That's not all of the changes btw.

 

[Dishwalla]

Ran two blocks in the middle of the night in my sweats to catch a Gligar. Man how I missed this feeling.

 

[psynergylover]

my baby!!!!

had to make its arch-nemesis

 

[Pachimari]

Can you name the Eevee's a specific name to get their evolution? Kind of like we were able to do with the three first ones.

You're seeing the exact names you need to use in that post buddy, so yeah, just like the previous 3 Eeveelutions.

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

I like how my first "Sentret" was actually a Ditto, lol.

 

[Pachimari]

Oh, I didn't realize that. So cool! And those two evolutions are the ones we've gotten from this new bunch of Pokémon correct?

 

[Icyflamez96]

I don't understand the logic behind having two quick moves of the same type, only that one is weaker AND slower to execute.
