Should I evolve pidgeys/rattatas or trade them in for candy?
Click to expand...

I heard evolving pidgeys is a good way to level up quickly. Only 12 candy, they're everywhere, and you get 600xp. That, plus a lucky egg and you'll be shooting up the levels.

Oh it's all good. About to see her in a few so I'll tell her about the google survey app too. Might change her mind. She's into the whole survey taking and couponing thing, so it should be right up her alley. Thanks!

Was at the park, and we found a Ninetails spawn. Everybody caught him but me. :(

Also it's hilarious how a lure is like a lure for people more than pokemon. I was at a small park with 3 friends, we drop a lure and there's like a dozen people there within the next half hour.

And I'm out of balls. Threw 60 to catch 3.

Now what do in do with out pokeballs?
Click to expand...

It should not take that many. As far as pointers go, wait and see if they Pokemon has an attack animation--when the animation triggers the circle will disappear, that's because the Pokemon temporarily gains immunity, and cannot be caught. So try and throw just after an attack animation. Also, hitting the Pokemon at all is better than going for a Great/Nice/Perfect throw, so just focus on that firstly. You can hit it anywhere in the white circle and it counts, the green/yellow/red circle is just for bonus points. Also, I tell everyone to turn AR off when actually throwing. It's a liability and makes Pokemon like Zubat 5-10x harder to catch.
 
This game is nuts. I haven't touched it myself yet, but driving to County Market and I saw a guy standing on corner with his phone out, obviously playing this. And when I was checking out, one of the workers at County Market bagging groceries was talking to someone checking out about the game also. Just nuts.
 
Oh my God this game is everywhere. Even when it's five billion fucking degrees outside everyone is playing it. It's amazing.
 
I found a use for spinning pokeballs.

Wat trying to catch a fearow and the think kept making my pokeballs fling to the side.

Spun the thing and threw a curve ball and was able to nail it in the first shot.

Yeaaaah team valor.

Except it's instinct all here and all of them are above 1000 CP :(.

I feel like there should be another way for scrubs to battle.

I've heard it might be determined by the second move they have when you catch them, so you can at least tell what it's going to become when you evolve it.

Seems like a missed opportunity not having this game connect with My Nintendo/Miitomo.
Click to expand...

I think Ninendo probably didn't though it was gonna be that popular because the respond after E3 was kinda weak or I should say none existent in gaming communities (ex:what's is that game ? Pass, lol")
Heck I didn't even knew there was a closed beta where you could only pre-order an handy accessory so you could keep your phone in your pocket. Wich kinda show how even big websites didn't cared all too.

Internet and irl proven to gaming communities how much they were wrong to ignore it, kinda magicical phenomon, imo :)

Sorry for my bad english.

It's completely fucking random.

I've leveled 3 evees that have different levels, different skills, different weights and I got 3 flareons.
 
Various FAQs

Red said:
-You can't choose your Eeveelution
-Yes Pikachu is really a starter option
-The footsteps next to Pokemon silhouettes indicate relative distance
-Spin the image disc to make items drop from pokéstops
-Many Pokémon have a chance to spawn anywhere, but their chance to appear is variable depending on environment (i.e. water Pokémon appear more often near water)
-You get to pick your team if you tap a gym after you reach trainer level 5; you do not need to be in range of the gym
-You cannot recover pokéballs that miss the target
-Yes Team Mystic is the superior team #SuperiorTeamMystic
-There is a bug where gym monsters get stuck on 1hp and you cannot defeat them, this can be remedied somewhat by not spamming taps, but there is still a chance it will happen to you (yes, we all know it sucks)
-If your Pokémon do not show up when the game loads, they haven't disappeared, but data may not be loading from the server
-Pay attention to the size of the color ring around Pokémon, the smaller it is the easier they will be to catch
-Pay attention to the color of the ring: green is easy, yellow is moderate, red is hard
-Yeah Magikarp actually requires 400 candies to evolve your eyes aren't playing tricks on you
-No one seems to agree on how exactly stats are influenced by height or weight or how max CP is decided so right now your guess is as good as anyone's (this includes whether or not it is best to power up or evolve first)
-Max CP for all your captured Pokémon is raised with your trainer level
-The game does not track steps toward egg hatching if the screen is off or the app is in background
-The game will not deliver notifications for nearby pokéstops, gyms, or Pokémon if the screen is off or the app is in background
-If you're moving too fast (i.e. Driving), you will not be able to add steps toward egg incubation (although you will inexplicably be able to do everything else)
-Moving grass may not always reveal a Pokémon
-Random encounters may occur without moving grass, even if you remain still
-Again, yes, Team Mystic is the best team

From what I gather from a variety of anecdotal sources is that steps work like this:

0 Steps = Spawn area
1 Step = 50m-100m (1-2 minutes walking)
2 Steps = 100m-150m (2-3 minutes walking)
3 Steps = 150m-300m (3-5 minutes walking)

As they get closer they show up nearer to the top of the list. A 3-step pokemon in third place is closer than a 3-step in sixth place.
Server errors can frequently cause your list to get stuck making tracking difficult. A pokemon tends to stay in an area for 15-20 minutes. Sometimes the list can blink, this means it is changing/updating in some way.

Also Yellow team is for winners.

So I've been seeing a lot of people asking questions about gyms, so I though I should write a mini guide:
Prestige
Prestige is like health points for you gym, when they get to zero your gym resets and can be claimed by another team. When prestige gets high enough, the level of your gym increase. When your gym level increases, it will take longer to take down.
Defeating enemy gyms
You can use 6 Pokèmon to challenge an enemy gym Defeating enemy pokemon on the gym will lower the prestige of a gym, defeat all defending pokemon will lower prestige by a lot, not quite sure what the exact numbers are.
Once you defeat the gym enough times, the level of the gym will decrease and it will kick the lowest ranking Pokemon, repeat until there are 0 pokemon/0 Prestige left to claim the gym.
Training Friendly gyms
You can only use one pokemon to train on friendly gyms, the more pokemon you defeat the more prestige the gym gets. I've also noticed that using a pokemon with similar CP as the defending pokemon will give a lot more prestige points (about 500).
Adding pokemon to friendly teams
You can only have one pokemon per persom per gym. If you're unable to add a pokèmon to a friendly gym, you need to train the gym until it levels up and gains an empty slot. If you're not able to train the gym, because the defender is too strong you're in bad luck. That's why I always try to keep an empty slot on my gyms for other players!

Unless you are constantly battling gyms......potions would be the first to go since you get super potions later as well
Click to expand...

Potions were already gone.
I use great balls for anything but pigey and ratatta.
No need for me to carry around extra standard balls.
 
How do you use the different attacks in VS mode? My Snorlax's 2nd attack isn't that great, but Earthquake doesn't solve everything!
 
So I spent 4 hours on trails today and I have to say that I'm disappointed with the lack of pokemon in actual nature. Once you get around parking lots and tennis courts they tend to pop up, usually before the pokestop at the various trail entrances. Once you go into the woods of say a half mile trail, the pokemon just stop, until you get out to more of a park location. Never lost cell or gps signal just no pokemon.

I hope they change that up a little. Would have been an awesome place to catch grass/bug/bird Pokémon.
 
me and my friend battled a gym at the same time and gangbanged a fearow but then got pwned by the 1hp glitch :(

the co op is real tho

My Pidgey has a skill called Twister: Dragon, it has 4 blue bars so what does that mean and is the skill good?
Click to expand...

At least a third of the zillion pidgeys I've caught have had that. It's just it's special move in battle. It's fine, better depending on what you're battling against I'd assume.

It seems like they have intentionally placed pokemon along established map locations such as roads, parks and other populated places to keep people from 1. going into dangerous areas alone and 2. going into peoples private property.

Not fun, but probably a wise choice.
 
How common is Dragonair? Found one when I was running. He's a CP 23 cutie. Surprised I found Dragonair before Dratini.

Also, 5 km egg hatched into Magnemite. Sweet. 10 km is almost done.
