Hopping on the Snorlax train, found my first one recently:



Other highlights over last week: Evolving Jigglypuff and Clefairy to Wiggly and Clefable for the first time and rolling their best attacker movesets (Pound/Hyper Beam and Moonblast).

Lows: Getting my first Vileplume and Victreebel...and no grass charge move on either. Would've been nice to have something to blow out the 2k+ Vaporeons plaguing my area.
Also got a Flamethrower Flareon off a perfect Eevee. Still powering it, but wish it had Fire Blast.

RNG is a rollercoaster at times.

It's a shame about that Vileplume and Victreebel. I've been lucky when it came to the Pokemon that actually matter. Nidoking and Nidoqueen were my biggest fails, but water weakness reduces their usefulness regardless of moveset. I still think Stone Edge is best for Nidoqueen, because you really want to hit Flying types hard.

I am disappointed my Clefable didn't turn out good (Zen Headbutt and Psychic), but my Wigglytuff is good (Pound and Play Rough). When I finally hatch a Squirtle, I will finally try for a Blastoise. It has a high chance of getting screwed, but I have 176 Squirtle candies. I will have two chances by then, since these candies are easy to get.

I really don't fuss over IVs as much as some here. My Snorlax hatched at 73.3%, but it will still hit 3024 CP at max level! A perfect Snorlax caps at 3135 CP. Overall, my Snorlax is still really good. Even your wild Snorlax will hit 2992 CP, but its lopsided stats make it undesirable to use.

I'm at a point where I have to spend money if I want new Pokemon in my area. There are several ones that I have never encountered in the wild, and it will stay that way.

I have been VERY unlucky with Snorlax, I have caught 6 but the strongest one is at 1035 CP and Im level 22

Heh.
unlucky.
sure.
that is 6 more than I have ever seen

 

[MANUELF]

Level 24 (will be 25 once I get a couple more evolutions saved up). Have found 3 Snorlax. My highest was 592. -_- And that last one was back on July 24th...

(the first was like, 47 or something, and the second was in its 400s)

Seen about 7. One 1800s and one 1700s... Berried and ultra ball once and he runs...

I caught one today in the old hospital here, CP is 43........

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

I caught one today in the old hospital here, CP is 43........

43 actually sounds right, I think that's what my first one was.

Sucks yo. Both my sister and my girlfriend have better ones. My sister is level 18 and has seen/better...

 

[Joni]

I caught one today in the old hospital here, CP is 43........

I don't have any Snorlax. I'd love a CP 43 one.

 

[Radec]

Went to Brussels today and caught my first Snorlax. Good news its IV is excellent:



Bad news, only 1000 cp So I'll have bet on getting one from a 10 km egg, or maybe finding another one in a city. I have too many evolvable mons left to use him as a buddy.

His moveset is Lick + Hyper Beam, probably also not ideal? Though I've read there are no weak movesets for Snorlax.

What app is that?

 

[zulux21]

I don't have any Snorlax. I'd love a CP 43 one.

I have 6 dratini candy from two wild ones I have caught, and like 12 exicute candy from the single egg I have caught never seen one in the wild.

going down a tier
I have 3 growlith candy from the single one I have caught in the wild.
and like 4 vaporeon as eevee spawns around here.

going down another tier.
I have 12 bulbasaur candy most of which is from a single one I hatched from an egg, like 21 slowpoke candy, like 20 bellsprout candy (though I do have a weepingbell) like 40 squirtle candy (only starter that spawns like once a week) like 40 magicarp candy, no grimer candy, like 10 ninoran candy (both genders but I did just evolve the second form) I do actually have 56 jiggypuff candies but no good jiggypuff.

going down to the last tier.

I have like 10 rydon candy that I got from a single egg hatch, I do have a starmie, but it has no water moves, I have a vileploom thanks to lots of walking, but no grass moves on it, I have no charmander, I have a geodude with good IV so I only have to walk like 100km to get a golem. I have a couple of flareons, I have a golduck but with bad moves, I have like 80 more candy needed to get a polywhirl, I do have like 2 hypno, I am one seal candy way from being able to evolve it, I have caught 2 tentacruel, and I got a single clafariy from an egg that I am currently walking.

aka of the best pokemon, I almost never see any of them, almost never get them from eggs ect

Ideally I will fix a number of these things next month.

going to vegas on vacation, gonna spend $100 on coins and then have my self incensed with full incubators for the few days I am there.

Here is grass and bug central, I have 4 exeggcutors and enough candy for other 2, my strongest snorlax has earthquake as his charge move, no lapras and just have enough dratini candy to have a dragonair.

Have 3 vaporeons in the upper 800s CP and one in the 1500s, no arcanine and still need over 20 to evolve it

Have Enough candy to evolve Victreebell and Venusaur, nowhere near the others

Have a pair of starmies with that moveset, the strongest is 1200s, have enough candy to evolve Vileplume, my charizard is trash since I caught it in the wild, have like three flareons with a couple having fire blast, my golduck has Ice Beam as its charge move, still need 20 something candies to have a Poliwrath and nowhere near the rest

Wait...

What? Exeggutor with Zen Headbutt and Psychic is that good? And here I was disappointed by the 91.1% Exeggutor I got with that very moveset...

 

[Dagobert Duck]

Weekend was awesome and now Im finally up to 109 caught 111 seen, and only a bit candy missing for maybe 4 or 5 other first time evolutions

 

[Firemind]

It's not.

 

[cHinzo]

Finally found two 10km eggs. I'm not sure if I'm ready for the disappointment. 🤔

You dont like Eevee?

But I got a Snorlax out of a 10km egg, keep your hope up for something nice

 

[GeoGonzo]

It's not.

But that chart says it is. It's not the BEST, but it's pretty good.

 

[Firemind]

But that chart says it is. It's not the BEST, but it's pretty good.

It's a 5% loss. I mean, stardust will be the bottleneck eventually if you want a team of ten defenders and xx attackers. You also want Pokemon at different cp tiers to train gyms so I'd just leave it alone.

My opinion on Pokémon GO Plus changes between "kinda okaish" and "absolute trash" by the hour. Right now I can't use it because there are no normal Pokéballs left while I have 250 better Pokéballs. Two PokéStops even gave me NOTHING using it. How is that even possible? Why is that even possible?

45€.

I trash pokeballs because I pick up more balls than I can spend now that I have the Plus. Sooner or later I'm gonna have to throw away great balls. My bag is fully upgraded. The item management is real.

I did that too before the Plus. I three away normal balls to exchange then for better ones. But now things have changed.

 

[Firemind]

But I still get more normal balls than I can actually use. They're the most common drops from stops, usually giving me 1-5 each time.

Fully upgraded? How many slots you got then? Im still fine with 350, I use my coins for incubators :-D

 

[Joni]

Fully upgraded? How many slots you got then? Im still fine with 350, I use my coins for incubators :-D

The max is 1000.

 

[Firemind]

1000. I had 800 before the Plus but now I actually need to keep some normal balls. I also need potions/revives for gym battles and ultras/berries in case I find rare pokemon.

Right now I have about:
50 pokeballs
350 great balls
200 ultra balls
50 hyper potions
100 max potions
100 revives
20 razz berries
20 lucky eggs
10 incubators

Which leaves me about 100 remaining storage space. Like I said, the item management is real.

Now the real question, did you pay money or did you got coins just by owning gyms?

I spent like 10 € on incubators when I made a trip to a different city and planned lots of walking but otherwise I only used gym coins up until now

 

[Firemind]

I purchased 14,500 coins. I'm in it for the long haul.

Goal realistically is lvl. 32 by the end of this year.

Lvl. 37 by the end of 2017. :lol

 

[GulAtiCa]

Been getting a lot of coins lately. Got 70 on Thursday and Friday. And 50 Saturday through today. Haven't even done any gym stuff since Friday. Feels nice.

Thanks to that and hatching a lot of eggs, I'm up 55k stardust too

 

[Mafro]

Another 10k egg hatch!

Spoiler

It was a damn Scyther

Sigh...I should stop getting excited for these. I have another one that I just popped in and I'm sure it will be crap too. The best thing I've gotten out of one was an Omanyte.

I've been playing since it came out in the US and only had four(!) 10k eggs. Two Eevees and two Kabutos :|

Still haven't caught or even seen a Dragonite, Lapras, Snorlax etc. either.

 

[Yrael]

I had zero 10 km eggs until I was about level 22 (I think?), then finally started getting them. I'm up to seven 10 km eggs now, which have hatched:

- Electabuzz
- Jynx
- 2x Scyther
- Snorlax
- Hitmonchan
- Kabuto

As I said earlier I think mine so far are the following:
Chansey
Electabuzz
Mr. Mime
Snorlax
3x Eevee
Onyx
Currently hatching another one...

By the way how many eggs did you hatch until now? Im at130

 

[UpperCaseN]

I had 3 10km eggs in the first month, Aerodactyl x2 and Magmar. I hadn't gotten one again until Friday and am in the process of hatching it. I'm level 24

 

[GulAtiCa]

I'm in it for the long haul as well. A few weeks back I bought the $100 pack, and plan to use it over the next 5 months. Only really plan to grab 4 egg incubators a week currently, so it will last me a long time. Except for when I go to Universal for almost a week in the next 2 weeks. I plan to go crazy with egg incubators! Currently have 12,010 coins left. I also have my coins increase by a few hundred sometimes each week.

Speaking of 10k eggs. I hatched 4 so far: Jynx, Eevee, Omastar & Chansey.

I also have 4 more on me that I'm saving for my vacation. I'm hoping to get at least 2 more by then.

 

[Dagobert Duck]

Man thinking about it I got an Aerodactyl out an 10km egg too...there should be an easier way to keep track where you got your Pokémon from, than just remembering, cause im bad at remembering...

I'm at 135 eggs hatched. The first 10 km egg I received was just past the 50 egg mark.

 

[ForsakenLotus]

But that chart says it is. It's not the BEST, but it's pretty good.

That's theoretical, once you take into account dodging one or two more times and the time it takes for the move to register (sometimes due to lag it needs to be pressed and held a second time), the real world difference is objectively worse than the theoretical difference. And it's noticeable.

 

[tauke]

Just an update for folks on Android using Magisk and systemless Xposed, looks like Google has updated SafetyNet to detect systemless Xposed but Magisk root toggle is working as usual.

Such a pain but I'll live with it temporarily as I use Greenify and a network speed indicator through Xposed.

 

[pringles]

I'm a Kabutops away from having the full pokedex (excluding the non-europe exclusives). Gonna take a while, about 20 candy away from being able to evolve. Me and Kabuto will be great buddies.

 

[spyroflame0487]

Hatched another 10K egg...this time a Lapras! My first one!
I powered her up some and it's at 1777 now, which is my strongest mon. Ice Shard and Dragon Pulse but whatever.

Also...yelped a little and saw a Snorlax on the radar. Went out for him and found it on a nearby street...but it's CP 42 lmao

Oh well, not too bad. Im still mad my coworker got Pikachu and it ran away from me the other day but I'll take the Lapras and Snorlax.

Also got a Dodrio after some walking with my bro DootDoot. Next up is Meowth, Jigglypuff, Ponyta and Diglett who are all around that 40-45 mark

 

[jelmerjt]

Caught a level 30 Magikarp. Woah. 95.6% perfect.

 

[LucidMomentum]

So the Go+ is perfect for when I'm near a Pokestop but don't want to "open" the app every 5 minutes to spin it.

Got like 50-60 Pokeballs yesterday that way, caught maybe a dozen or so pokemon as well. If you do the math it'll pay for itself in a couple months compared to buying coins, etc.

Hoping to test the Go+ with a less than optimal phone to see if it'd be useful for people whose phones have trouble keeping up with all the in-game stuff like swiping stops and catching Pokémon.

You can also hit stops and catch Pokémon while in menus with the Go+, so that's neat.

 

[JavyOO7]

I'd love to use the Go+ right now but my Moto X Pure 2015 says 'not yet, sir'. The thing worked fine on my friends' Galaxy S7. I'm asking another buddy to bring her iPhone 6S to work on Thursday so I can test it out. Hope Niantic has a fix... /sad

 

[Dishwalla]

Hate how the first ball thrown is often a waste, I'll either throw it right off then bat and the Pokémon will jump or charge or something, or I'll wait until after it charges and throw one and it flings it way into the distance.

Weird. I have the Moto Z force Droid (just bought it a month ago) and works fine on my Moto. Granted, I don't know much about the Moto X Pure, but I would figure that there wouldn't be much difference between the 2 for the Go + to work.

 

[AdanVC]

I really just want to complete the Pokedex. So jealous of those in here who already have. I'm not that interested on battling in gyms. I'm currently at 98 caught/seen I still haven't gotten a damn Squirtle and I've been playing non-stop since july. So bored of seeing the same crap everyday I don't even catch them when they appear anymore (pidgeys, ratattas, geodudes, etc), not even for the XP :c

 

[cHinzo]

Ok just dropped my only Dragonite in a lvl 7 gym. Let's see how long he stays in there.

 

[Flo_Evans]

10 gyms holding for 30 minutes... only 18 hours to go! will they make it? no one knows!

Someone already started working on the level 10 gym my snorlax is in... down to level 9 and he is now 2nd in line. Might have to walk over there and train. Don't think I have anything that can beat the 1900cp executor right now though. Maybe scyther...

No Arcanine or flareon?

 

[GulAtiCa]

If you have a Gengar, they are good against Executor. All Executors get beaten down swiftly by my Gengar.

 

[Flo_Evans]

No Arcanine or flareon?

Sure they are in the gyms tho


edit: looks like attacker gave up. Scyther not strong enough (would have been 1000 prestige). Good news though I caught a Polygon (new) and a growlithe (grinder) on the walk.

 

[AdanVC]

nvm

 

[GulAtiCa]

Someone from Europe could pleaaaasee catch me a Mr. Mime or Farfetch'd?? I would give you my account with my password and all because I really would love to own those two Pokémon. I'm Mexico so it's impossible to have them here D: Thanks!

That will likely get you banned though.

 

[AdanVC]

That will likely get you banned though.

Really?? Could Niantic be that evil to do so? What about the people who genuinely travels and all? Oh well. Better not take the risk then. Hoping they can just end the exclusivity and put them everywhere then. Thanks for the heads up!
