That's not too dissimilar to what it's like outside the centre of London. It gets sparse quickly!

Yeah I'm always running out of balls

I have learnt where bulbasaur, squirtle, dratini spawn however.

Indeed

I haven't got a screen dump but my village has 2 stops and a gym, if I go on a 10k walk though I can hit 7 in total but that's a time cinstraint with two kids.

I Holy crap.. Going outside.. Marowack silhouette!
Missed out, couldn't find it.

Think I've about exhausted the pokemon in my area anyway.
I'm also getting tired of game just not loading if without constant signal.. Why can't it download the next 10 minutes of info
Glitches are really starting to get annoying too.

Anyone else now finding the appeal starting to slip?

As this appears to be a fad type thing I think Niantic should have released a more stable version.

There are some definite tweaks to the game I wish they would make. Like making more pokemon spawn in rural areas. Increase, even slightly, the number of rare pokemon that spawn. And making the rarer pokemon spawn for longer.

Its so frustrating when you live in a small town and get mostly the same pokemon spawn over and over, with the occasional exception.

I would use the Pokevision map to locate it next time. The nearby feature doesn't work well at all.

Don't think this will last. With not being able to teach moves all the time I put in to getting my polywrath is worthless as it came out with bad moves
The 10k pinsir I hatched is the same.
The catching a pokemon glitch drives me batty

Most annoying I never know if I'm not seeing pokemon due to signal, the servers or them not being there!

I've found that playing with the AR mode switched off, so you just get that generic background, helps with the freezing glitch in the ball. Not 100%, but it happens way less for me since I turned off the AR.

I don't really want to, if I do that the game for my area will be complete today.
Only thing left to catch in a 3 mile radius is

Dratini for a dragonite
Magikarp for a gyarydos
Ghastly for a Gengar

I've found where bulbasaur spawns
I've found where squirtle spawns

If I cheat for this marrowak I'm done with finding locations

Thats fair enough. Although the map only shows what has spawned at that time with a count down clock next to each Pokemon. It isn't saying go here and there will be X Pokemon all the time.

Although you can probably work it out, the Pokemon tend to spawn in the same location each time, so you once you know the locations, you can work out where the tracker is referring to.

I've learnt there are certain locations where good pokemon tend to spawn. Ie I caught my starmie and tentacruel in same place. But I couldn't find this marowack or the venomoth which just spawned.. Know it was close as it was top of the list.

But I think sometimes I walk too quick as the loading screen can't keep up and my signal isnt great round here.

One annoyance is I go to those spots but sometimes nothing appears. And because the app is so buggy it's a 50:50 as to if it's there and just not appearing!

Wish they would publish what is/isn't working.
To be honest the way the publishers are going about this is very lazy considering it will probably be something that peaks in revenue now and declines over time

Hit level 20 last night and caught a 1080cp Venomoth

mrkambo · 24 Jul 2016 at 11:43

I hatched a Electabuzz last night! its rather beast!

2 more 10km eggs on the go and a 5km one, gonna be a long day!

413x · 24 Jul 2016 at 11:50

If all this work produces a poor gyarydos I think I'll give up!

By far my best pokemon below
I'm level 15 and caught had him ages ago. Much much better than any other even those with similar cp it's DPS for both moves are amazing

I know someone who evolved a ~200CP Magikarp and got a 1600CP Gyarados so I think you will be OK

It's more the moves..
My polywhirl (3rd evolution) only learnt 2 water moves. So I ditched it.
It's a water fighting type.. Why oh why didn't it learn a fighting move!

DB_SamX · 24 Jul 2016 at 12:10

Feet hurting this morning. Did some hardcore pokemon excel stats analysis in teh wee hours of this morning. Trimmed my list to around 38 Pokemons with 75%+ potential rating. Even transferred the rare but poo ones. I suppose I'll be catching stronger versions of them in due course.

I wouldnt worry, Gyarados can only get either Bite or Dragon Breath as it's basic attack, and they have the same DPS. Hydro Pump would be the preferred Special Move, and Twister the worst, but in this game raw basic attack DPS outshines special attacks any way.

That's a plus. Bite being useful for all the psychics and dragon breath cause it's dragon

Yeah I've found special attacks to be useless really. Takes too long. Unless it's super effective I don't even use it. I knew my starmie was good before I even checked dps as it was so so much quicker than most of my others.
Being a STAB move (it's special is STAB too) helps more
