Pokemon GO! (2016)

Just caught a Dragonite, isn't that supposed to be quite rare? Shame it was very low level and I can't power it up much.

Had an awesome few hours around Devizes. The town centre has 4 stops and for 3-4 hours they were lured to high heaven. Caught 10+ Magikarp, Staryu along with an abundance of Pidgy. Also got a 600+ Gloom and Slowbro.

Hatched a Nidorino, Ryhorn and another soddin Jynx. Been very successful so will plan a return trip. Oh and went up 2 levels, now lvl 17!

Living in rural Scotland this was my experience today:

Nice that it seemed to keep running smoothly this evening.

kmax86 · 21 Jul 2016 at 23:44

Has anyone tried requesting a pokestop in a rural area?

How long did they take to process the request?

No problems for me tonight either, or the 50+ people down at Whitley Bay light house tonight! I've just got in after about two hours of hunting. It was surreal, but awesome. All these people wandering about in the pitch black looking for Pokemon

I am fairly certain you only get 'Nice' throws when the circle is at it's largest. If that's true it would make no sense if the catch rate is best at the smallest point, if there is any difference at all.

Spin your finger round on the ball prior to throw to get a curve ball bonus.

chroniclard · 22 Jul 2016 at 07:26

Curve balls are not worth the xp bonus because of a higher chance of the ball just screwing off into the wind.

Getting the bonus still means having to land within the circle.
Roughly speaking, 100-60% circle size gets you nice, 60-20% great, and <20% excellent.

Just grabbed a 1009 CP one this morning on the way to the gym.

Nice! I've managed to level up a ghastly to haunter. A few Gengars will be great for taking down gyms.

I didn't know you could, how do you go about that?

Noob!

Woke up the morning in the hotel knocked on the app had a random 324 ghastly floating about so nabbed him, has high stardust upgrade costs (1300) which I tend to associate with better Pokemon so a decent nab!

Yesterday was good, wee list here of the evolves/catches:
Starmie 1014CP
Flareon 903CP
Golduck 748CP
Seaking 695CP

And the rubbish CP's but still cool to have from yesterday:
Onix
Voltorb
Electabuzz
Ryhorn
Tentacruel
Sandshrew (hatched 2, 9 candies away from Sandslash)

Just caught a 1016CP Vaporeon on the way to work

snips86x · 22 Jul 2016 at 09:09

Just evolved my Eeve, now a 1390 Vaporeon

Craig1981 · 22 Jul 2016 at 09:27

On my way to Glasgow. They just opened a Krispy Kreme that I want to go check out. And I have a lure and lucky egg ready for some Pokemon catching action. The spawns there should a lot better than what I see in my little town.
