Just hatched a 10k egg and got a 190 ******* evee, are you kidding me pokemon go!

What level were you when you acquired the egg? Remember, what's inside is determined then, not based on the level you are when you actually hatch it.

Nope.

The only trash I catch are pidgeys/weedles/caterpies/rattata/drowzees for evolve xp, and drowzees only because they are so plentiful and easy to catch.

2nd level evolutions I don't bother with, stuff like zubats/horseas/shellders etc that I already have the evolutions for I ignore.

I focus on strong lines, or lines I haven't evolved fully yet. And all the magikarps.

I'm also making sure I have enough candies for future evolutions that will be added in Gen 2, so Zubat candy and Slowpoke candy for example

Yeah, I am considering that too, but only for new gen2 evolves that will be worth it, Crobat will still be crap, Slowking will be good (given that Slowbro already is).

Just evolved my Eevee to a jolteon, maybe should have taken a 2nd Vaporeon...

I went with Flareon on my first eevee evolution as every gym around me was grass types, then everyone got Vaporeons and now I wish I had gone Jolteon

Got 2 seels and 2 squirtles this morning, but wasted a lot of great balls trying to catch a high level pidgeot. And it got away!!!

It's randomised as far as anyone can tell. That's why you don't spend star dust until the final evolve and if they get the best moves.

Thanks.

I keep getting a bug when trying to fight in gyms, both same team and opposite. I get to the arena, it says "battle 1", then go, but as soon as the "go" disappears, it kciks me back out of the arena and into the lobby.

Really annoying. Seems a common bug. Anyone here get the same?

Sometimes changing pokemon to fight solves it, sometimes not.

p.s. game appears down again?

Got 2 new additions, growlithe and magikarp on the way home. Really impressed with the anker powercore. I got on the bus home and my battery was at 34%. I plugged in the charger and played pokemon go all the way home, so I could click on pokestops the bus passed. Even with the game open the whole way, my phone was at 70% when I got off the bus 45 minutes later.

I think that IV's thing is a bit pointless... it even says the difference between best and worst is going to be ~7-10% in CP / HP. Not worth the time investment of waiting for a super one considering the gameplay content! It's funner just catching then all.

After using a simpler web based one than the confusing google sheet, I agree! Too time consuming for minimal gain.

Anyway, I read in some online UK paper today that a Guy in London got all the available Pokemon already (bar a few region specific ones).

From Southampton. He has been posting regularly on the Pokemon Go Southampton group about his impressive progress. Town Quay is indeed the place to be. I put the effort to go down there when I am in Southampton; doesn't disappoint.

I've had that too. I just go to another gym.

Just caught a Diglet for the first time! I almost mistook it for a pidgey on the mini map and ignored it :eek:

topgun06 · 28 Jul 2016 at 23:34

Popped out earlier because a Ryhorn and a licky thing showed up at the bottom left. The licky things usually appear on a nearby Park. They were both there.

Kind of finished at 50 seen.

In old games ivs, type, moveset all mattered so so much

mrkambo · 29 Jul 2016 at 07:31

My game has been running poorly for the last couple of days, just random lock ups and UI freezing, starting to get a bit annoying!

Craig1981 · 29 Jul 2016 at 07:31

I've still never seen a Pikachu or charmander pop up anywhere near me. I'd be happy even to get them from a 2K egg, but so far no joy
