Pokemon GO General - /pgg/

my avatar keeps moving by herself

...does that happen to anyone else?
...do the km's count?

What was the speed cap 20 or 30 mph?

>no pokestops here for miles
>no car
>closest pokestop is one single pokestop and then another 5 miles of dead space in-between

HELP

this game should have a "daily pokeball" login thing or something.

>sat on my couch
>Eevee
>catch with first ball

I know it's not rare like in the game, but still felt good.

Got one from an egg today, was pretty sweet.

>>27054423
I really wouldn't know.

nth for lure modules being fucking shit. They don't actually attract the nearby pokemon, but just spawn the ones that are common for the zone.

>>27054436
Tracks = how close. 1 is nearby, 3 might as well be the moon since it doesn't tell you which direction it means

>>27054420
I heard 15 mph.

>>27054434
I got one.
But no.

I just wanna say that these night walks I've been having with this game have been nice. less cars, less people, no sun murdering you along the way. Very relaxing.

>>27054426
>>27054422
it does count actually,
just checked

i walked for 0.6km in the last 5 minutes lol

Thanks, this helps a lot.
Does the circle around my avatar mean anything?

Do you have to be near a gym to challenge it? I can see one at the post office but I'm not level 5 yet to try. I can just walk over there but would be nice to be able to do it from my house.

>walk atleast 3km, more like 4
>2 counted towards hatching
Fuck this fucking inaccurate piece of shit. I had the app open all the time.

>>27054462
Just think of it this way, spiders and reptiles are less active in cold

>>27054474
The gym has to be touching or within your circular radar

>>27054478
Do you have to walk, or can you drive?

>>27054474
you gotta be close

>>27054474
Yes, you need to be in range like with pokestops

Also turns out my town has a memorial to John Lennon. Who knew

>>27054459
>Will it be worth keeping
Ironically, starters are useless in this game.

>>27054465
What was cp of zhe evee before you evolve it?

>>27054459
Your pokebox is 250. You'll probably find a replacement almost immediately. Starters don't become gym potential until 2nd evo, or cp bar is maxed, and are pretty rare.

>>27054449
i drove around for a while at 25-30 and it counted all of that towards my eggs.

>>27054481
You can drive, but it has a speed limit.

Do I want to beef up my pokemon before or after evolving?

I'm throwing all my Rattatas into the wood-chipp.....candy-making machine, and want to know whether I spend them now or after evolution

>>27054481
Supposedly it doesn't count the movement if it detects you going too fast. Walking and running should be ok, driving no, biking maybe.

>>27054490
think it was a natural 194. put a ton of siggy stardust into it so i can beat up all the hooligans out taking my gyms. a couple are just as strong as me as well

>>27054481
You can move by any means as long as you're going slow enough for it to not determine you're cheating.

>>27054496
you'll likely not find enough bulbasaurs to level him up reliably, and the other ones you find will guarenteed be a higher CP than the starter.

I kept mine to put on gyms I don't care about losing, just to be friendly.

>>27054496

So it seems like the most efficient method will be biking then.

how the fuck do i actually find pokemon. ive been walking around the city and grabbing pokespots, yet i almost never encounter any pokemon. wat do?

>>27054541

No problem man, been looking for Eevees all day and I found a couple, but all were shit tier.

Anyone else still having the fucking gym bug? It's so unfair, I lost 6 of the 10 gyms I had and I can't do anything to take them back because the defending pokemon stays on 1 hp when I beat it.

Better to evolve pokemon, or catch pre-evolved ones.

>>27054624
The key difference is how evolving a high CP pidgey most likely becomes a higher CP pidgeotto than what you can catch.

>>27054633

hell no. keep catching Zubats until you have at least enough to evolve one and you're certainly get a higher CP one along the way.
As your own level increases, so do the wild encounter CP levels.

I turned the AR off because I didn't want people to think I was taking random pictures or anything, I live in fucking Mexico and people are already somewhat paranoid of this shit so yeah

I'm a genwunner, I'll probably get bored when all the gens are released.

They really should have done Gen 4 first, stuff people like me don't nostalgia about. Would have helped the serers

>>27054644
We'll make it someday, maybe

I have some good mons but it's not going to be enough, red has really thick reinforcements.

>>27054663
>and just hunt down fully evolved Pokemon
You're right about leveling up, but from my experience, at the same trainer level, a pokemon caught evolved will have lower CP than one you evolved to that form.

>>27054676
>Fuck men
N-no.

>>27054671
Magmar? What might be associated from Gen 1 to a famously hot, dry, low-lying area?

I want to explore the Catacombs of Paris.

Has ANYONE encountered a legendary ingame yet? Do they even exist in the game as of now?

Charizard? Maybe if you're lucky Flareon.

I can only imagine the amount of money this thing will make by the end of the year or before any other gen gets added

Got back from my 3am drive.

I was going 10mph on country roads catching the fuck out of pidgeys and eevees, then the second I merged onto the highway to head home a Poliwrath showed up in the middle of the road. Against my better judgement I tried to catch it while driving and wasted like 17 balls before it ran away. I was major butthurt.

I turned off the highway into Walmart parking lot, since it's the only place open at 3am and might as well stock up on my hot pockets. Walk in the entrance and boom, CP404 Scyther.

Worthwhile drive.

any known solution to the "gym 1hp left" glitch? It has happened to me on every fucking gym so far.

Reminds me of this I saw earlier.

I can imagine a lot of service jobs will become less horrible with such a large scale, normie friendly game being mobile.

>>27054719
Depends. The more candies something takes to evolve the higher the CP will jump.

PROTIPS INCOMING.

Use a lucky egg then evolve EVERYTHING at once. Evolving gives 500 xp (so, 1000 xp with the egg). I went from level14-15 evolving like 10-11 shit mons. All evolutions give the same exp regardless of the amount of candies needed so don't do caterpie->medapod->butterfree, do caterpie->medapod over and over again.


It's a good idea to save all your stardust until you find something with a decently high base CP (IE around trainer level 12+). However, if you found something rare or you just want to bro out with one of your first homies its OK, they will eventually be JUST as good as anything else you will just have to constantly power them up via stardust.

The best example I can give is
You are level 1 and find a 10 cp Snorlax
You use stardust until it's 200 cp
Jim is level 5 and found a 200 cp Snorlax

Although they are equal power, you wasted some stardust while Jim didn't. However, that's OK as long as you are ok with it, homies are homies.

Welcome to my world.

Guys, what am I doing wrong? I can't find any Pokemon to catch - there is a bunch in the lower right screen, I can select the one closest to me and move around. After a while, I see on the map a spot that pulses white circles but no matter what I do, no Pokemon appears. I am literally standing on the pulsing spot, investigating the area in a few meter radius clicking everywhere and nothing.

This game isn't even fucking out yet in Canada and I'm fighting over four gyms and I keep seeing people walking around spots staring at their phones

Literally everybody has downloaded the apk

>>27054811
If you challenge a gym the same color as you it's "training." You only get one mon, and the Gym gets prestige depending on how well you do. You earn FAR more prestige for winning with low-CP pokemon.
If you challenge an opposing-color gym, it's business as usual.

>>27054783
I live in a city and I've found one, it's 3 kilometres away. Game is literally going to be unplayable until I can submit a spot locally.

It's a glitch or a server issue. Restart the app.

Just found out you can spin the pokeball a few times before throwing it to give it a glowing aura and a little spin in the toss. Got some style xp too. It's the little things in this game that will keep me playing for a long time.

>>27054843
>all Pokemon have the same "potential"
Absolutely not.
The cap on the power of caught pokemon increases dramatically with trainer level.

>>27054850
I don't know how people can find pokemons in their houses, I have this shit always on but nothing ever got in my house.

>>27054843
Ye.

The max cp a poke can have is determined by the trainer level. The higher the trainer level, the stronger you can make it.

Also, the attacks each poke can have varies greatly along with mumblings that the size/weight matters too.

Who /australia/ here? I'm tempted to make friends just so I can go out at night without looking like a complete creep.

>>27054865
That raises when you level up anyway isn't it?

>>27054865
All pokemon do have the same potential.

At trainer level 20 you can beef up a 10 cp mon caught at level 1 to a 1300 cp beast, it will just cost alot of stardust.

You'd be surprised.

Ingress would suggest otherwise, and pokemon is inherently 100x more popular than ingress.

>>27054874

NEAT

>>27054920
basically it's gang warfare. shop around local gyms and see what gangs control what

Why are there only ratatas and other shitmon around my area?

>>27054920
It matters in that if you're the only one of your color in your area then it's going to suck trying to keep any gyms but also if there's only one color in your area you never get to/have to contest gyms.

>>27054939
You catch an eevee and grind like a motherfucker.

Jolteon is fucking great

>>27054925
holy fuck its still got two evos. thats going to be strong as hell

>>27054939
Get to leveling up son

>>27054919

yeah basically, past three days i've just been rushing gyms and hitting the shop

if you want my advice, lucky eggs and egg incubators are the only things you need to level up

one for making mass candy, the other for doubling all you evolution exp

every hatched 2km egg gives about 20 candy from what i've seen and hatching 5 at once gives you a ton of shitmon to evolve with a lucky egg

>>27054939

ignore gyms and read the above, level is all that matters, once you hit 15 you start seeing 300-400 cp pokemon everywhere. i was sitting at a lure module i put down and a random ~800 pinsir showed up, had a red circle and ??? cp before i caught it

honestly though gyms are gonna go back and forth constantly for the next couple weeks, i wouldn't worry about them until people start getting bored of the game

So basically this is "get in on the ground floor or you're fucked": the game?

>>27054960
Can you get lucky eggs without buying them?

I'm only level 8

>>27054925

>>27054434
Quebec is full of this, and volts

So can someone explain how do the secondary attacks work? Do you just hold instead of tap to use them? Do they need to charge up before you can use them?

I fought my first gym battle today and it was incredibly confusing.

does the battery saving mode only work if you have a gyroscope?

>>27054423
FUCK

Do you catch every shitmon for the 100EXP? even if you already have their evos etc

>>27054962
The EXP curve gets exponentially higher later on.

Even if you come into the game late you will still be useful if you are good at the battle mini-game, utilize type advantage, and attack gyms with other homies of your faction.

The game inherently limits 1 person from dominating everything since each person can only leave 1 poke at a gym.

Hi everyone, quick question : I captured the gym right next to my house yesterday and left my most powerful poke to guard it. There's another gym a few hundred feet farther which is of the same team as me. If I go and leave a support poke for him, will he see it/be able to know that I helped him out ? I'm kinda trying to form an alliance here, there's no single other gym around for miles. Thanks

>>27054989
Under your pokes HP is its special bar(s)(anywhere from 1-5),

As you attack normally your bar(s) will fill.

If you hold down on your pokemon then release when one of your bars is filled it will preform a special attack and use up 1 bar. There is a little gauge that fills up as you press down under you special bar(s) so you know when to let go.

can i delete my account?

>>27055012
If you put a poke in it you'll join the line up at that gym (tap the gym and swipe).

>>27055024
Hi, now I already knew that ! I was asking if there's any way for him to identify the player who left the poke there, in order for him to maybe thank me by putting one of his in my gym ? Since there's no way of DMing someone in the game...

>>27054977
Does this app take a lot of battery to run? Might be interesting to use it on my pokewalks but if it makes this shit drain even faster then nope.

Dude you atlest could have some fun with them.

>>27055012
It depends. If the gym already has a support mon, you need to continuously battle the gym to boost its prestige in order to allow another mon. If not, you can put it there but he will only see it if he checks the gym.

>>27055037
He'll only see your username. I'm not sure if other players see nicknames of pokemon.

So I hit level 9 and got a lucky egg, is it a good idea to use all my saved up candies and evolve all my weedles, pidgeys and rattatas for exp? If they give 1000xp each I've got like two levels in the bank easy

In case anyone is curious what downtown Vancouver BC looks like.

>>27055035
Not necessarily.

The more bars a special attack has, the less damage the move does.

However, having 1 giant bar that sometimes doesn't even fully charge before your poke dies isn't the best either. Really depends on the specific poke and the specific move.

>>27055014
i bet the whole posse clapped too.

I was at a park walking my dog an saw a lure go off at the otherside, met a cool couple, we started chatting and waiting to see what would come our way. over the half hour like 15 different people drove up, got out and met us because of the lure.

that shit is gonna bring us together as a generation i s2g

>>27055014
Good job man.

So lemme get this straight... CP is mostly random but does depend on your level - meaning, as you level up, you'll find stronger pokemon.

Does it stand to reason then, that powering up a common pokemon is absolutely useless? After all, if you level once or twice you'll just find someone stronger and you will have wasted your dust

Or am I missing something here?

How does taking over a gym with friends work? Since you can't fight together. What's the advantage?

If staryu/starmie are rare in your area then yes.

Otherwise wait until you are abit higher level to catch a stronger one or you will be wasting stardust.

>>27055111
Yeah, going from egg to critter is an evolution

>>27055111
Partially that, partially RNG.

>>27055096
Flareon is worst eevolution.

Although it has an advantage against bug and grass, so do the plentiful flying types and it is burdened by a dual water/ground weakness, which makes it lose to vaporeon.

It isn't even as rare of a pokemon type as jolteon and lacks the ability to BTFO waters/common flying fucks as well

>>27055111
>>27055114

I'm 99% sure it's based on your level when it hatches.

I'd say ignore 2k eggs entirely unless you are maxed out on them and need to make room.

5k/10k eggs give, from what I've see, better pokemon and more candy.

I remember when I once tried playing Bahamut and the shit drained all my data in 2 days

Does this game go well with a bike? Or is it strictly walking?

I tried biking at it works better than walking, but stopping every pokemon/stop is an hassle

Less than 30MB/hr

So anyone taking bets on how long we have to wait before our first Pokemon Go-related fatality?

>live in capital of state
>going downtown tomorrow with friends
>plan to use pokestop module around when people start coming out for their lunch break
tomorrow is going to be a good day

As much as I hoped we'd be getting gen 2 by the end of this year this does sound like what's most likely to happen. At least SM should hold me over until then.

Same deal with this R2-D2. Pretty sure its just an outdated google maps thing. Still neat.
