Vaporeon is easy to beat. Just use an electric or grass. Jolteon and Victreebel works good for me.

Yay! Finally hatched my first Magnemite!
New Pokedex entry! xD

...hate me...
They are a pest to me lol
Been a very productive day! Finally caught my last 2 Dratinis. But, my best Dratini is only a 89% IV. Think I should wait for potential 95% IV Dratini (I have several 10k eggs on me that could hatch into this, more on this later)?
On my way to my run, I was able to put my Pokemon in a good bit of gyms. 6 in fact. My biggest ever. One of them will very much last me a while. I'm sure the others will go down quickly, but now have at least 2 that will last be a good while.
The funny thing is on my way back from running, I saw 1 of the gyms I took over was under attack from 2 people sitting in a car (parking lot of a running/biking trail). So, I pulled to the side and just let them have it. After they left, I immediately booted them out. Wish I could have seen their faces when their Pokemon returned to them. :lol
I was kinda tempted to put in a very obviously weak pokemon, like a pidgey, to troll them as soon as they knocked it down, but I wasn't fast enough. Would have been funny, but would have obviously alerted them that someone was there to re-take it over. So prob best I didn't do that.
Also hatched so many damn eggs! Hatched like 3 Geodudes, 2 Machops, a Magnemite (can now evolve)! A few lesser so, like Oddish, Magikarps, and so on. Gained so much stardust from this. Nice.
Also, finally have a new 10k egg. 2 in fact from my run. So I'm up to 3 on my quest to do 8+ in a row.

I like parasect or tangela with solar beam vs vaporeon. They can easy kill a 1500cp at 1000cp. 2000cp is possible but if you miss dodging you are done.

Today was a mixed day like several others. I was trying to go for 50 coins today, but my Pokemon kept getting attacked. The most I had at one time was 4 Pokemon, but I ultimately just cashed out at 30 coins because I was getting fed up. I joined a few high level Instinct gyms, but even those don't last that long because everybody wants to be on Team Mystic for some reason.
There was good and bad news for my evolutions. I evolved my Ekans into Arbok, and it unfortunately has Bite and Dark Pulse.
The good news, however, makes this day overall worthwhile. I've been collecting Magikarps ever since this game launched, and I finally had enough to get a Gyarados today. It has good stats all around with perfect HP, near perfect Attack, and 10+ Defense. Obviously, the main point is that my Gyarados has Hydro Pump as a strong move! I'm pretty stoked about this.

So if i have a pokemon with two 15 stats. The third one could still possibly be super low and there is no way for me to find out?

...hate me...
Yeah that's an interesting thing about this game. I mean I'm sure there are many pokemons I lack around me that other locations have plenty of.
But yeah this place in town though is a nest of Magnemite and Voltorb. Magnemite I've caught 23 out of 26 but I don't try to catch them anymore.
On the other hand still have not seen a single Charmander for example :|
If you use an IV calculator like https://pokeassistant.com/main/ivcalculator and check the boxes for the two 15 IV stats and choose 15 under the Best drop-down menu, it'll narrow it down to your IV%

I think the point that zroid was trying to make is that Vaporeon is very tanky, so it lasts longer than most Pokemon. Snorlax is really bad to fight against because he can take a massive amount of hits.
These types of Pokemon can make gym battles and training even slower than normal, and that costs people a lot of time.

Of course there has to spawn a Kabutops, an Exeggutor and a freaking Alakazam at the same time a few blocks from home at 12:34 am when it's pouring in rain. FMMMLLLLLLL!!!!Haven't catched the Kabutops and the Alakazam!
Nothing over here except Dodrios and Pidgeots
PS: NEVER check pokemonnearby late at night, it will make you cry

I wonder why the sound design of this game is so unapologetically bad? I understand using the original pokemon roars, they sound out of place but still have a certain nostalgic charm to it, for some people (also, saves them a lot of effort)... but everything else is painfully, painfully bad.
Why a music/sounds toggle instead of a volume slider?
Why does every item received from a pokestop make an individual and incredibly loud sound? They often blend together into a hellish shriek.
Why does every pokemon spawn sound the same? Its a pidgey, yes. Hah, made you look! We could use each individual pokemon roar, or a differend sound for rares, or pokemon you don't have in your pokedex but... nope.
I'm not saying the whole game is awful or anything but the squandered potential is just bizarre.

Got knocked out of a level 10 gym and by the time I noticed, the slots were full again.
Why a music/sound toggle that is placed so that the app still plays the music until you login?
The Norwegian Trekking Association posted a nice, but not very exciting video about playing Pokemon Go in one of our national parks. Just in case anyone's interested:

I've already got a couple of best pokemons that have two perfect stats but the calculator gave me below 90% IV.
Yeah got a perfect HP and Attack Dratini and apprailas gave me less than 80%. 😫 The Defense must have sucked really badly for it to have less than 80% perfect IV.

Was lurking info about update here and saw you guys can't figure out IV's for sure.
I'm not promoting anything and there's probably a lot of calculators, but if you're iOS user, try an app called AutoIVCalc. It's pretty accurate and all you need to do is take a screenshot of your mon. Not sure about connection but I think it's an offline one.
Dev also has manual calculator, which is 100% offline.
Those two helped me a lot.

two are hatched, 3 or 4 were randomly ran into, the rest I found from Twitter feed and jellies_two website
edit: it's weird, for the Rares you remember exactly where you find all of them and the stuff that happened at the time.
But horrible CP..

That's why a bad defender like Gyarados still has a chance, thanks to her/his high CP and the "intimidation" factor.
Yes! So, a local gym near my work has always been lv 9+. Finally it was at 45,000 with 2 Gyarados at the bottom. So I used my Jolteon and easily destroyed the Gyarados (esp as it had Twister. lol). Got my new 2200+ Dragonite in the gym. I'm now 4th from the top. This gym has barely been below lv 9 in months. That Dragonite is going to last me a long long while.
Might be time to start working on my 2nd Dragonite. lol

dude if I had viable electric or grass pokemon it'd be a different story I'm sure lol
well I actually hatched a good Electabuzz a couple hours after I posted that so well see!
