Pokémon GO

why the fuck do i have to keep my app open for it to count the distance when hatching eggs

i just walked around for 2 hours in my city running errands (probably 4-5 miles total) and it registered maybe half of that because my phone was locked or the app crashed/lost my location 10 times


fuck this shit

Excuse the shitty nicknames, I just put what comes to mind, also I've only been able to play sparingly because I live in a bumpkin ass town with zero (0) gyms

>>27109227
I mean, the game did just come out. There are gonna be bugs that need to be worked out as with any new game. I find it's easier to drive with app open to hatch quicker. At least, thats what works for me. Keep trying mane, don't give up.

Where did you find that many snorlaxs to transfer for a boost

You have to drag really hard to throw? I caught a bulbasaur I guess, I can really transfer my first pokémon?

Mine aren't that great.

I live in a third world country and I have very fond memories of Pokemon when I grew up but I don't remember many other kids liking Pokemon as much as I did. Now I'm on a discord with 100+ people who all remember Pokemon fondly from their childhood. Made me feel feels desu, I am slightly aspie and never really had friends but I've never felt more accepted by society.

Kind of depressing I found and caught a Gengar in the wild but my trainer level was low so he was only at like 200CP

What does the green/yellow/red circle around the pokemon mean when you try to catch it?

OKAY FAGGOTS

It's time to learn how to use google. There is at least 20000 youtube videos for every possible question you can have about the game. Stop being lazy and search it yourself.

Is there any difference between logging in with a Google account or Pokemon Trainer account? Seems like I have less issues with a Google account but not sure if there are benefits to using the other.

>>27110497
Don't know about benefits, but I know it was mentioned that there were issues with the Pokemon Trainer thing so everybody uses google

>>27110074
I live kind of close to a lake, but far away enough that I have no clue how I managed to get Goldeen, Krabby, Horsea, and so on. To be fair I got Psyduck and Magikarp right next to the lake, but all my other water types I've found outside my house. Hardly anybody I know here has fire types. Only fire types I've seen people have are Charmander, Flareon, Growlith, and a Vulpix, the latter two being pretty rare.

I'm not gonna throw out my bronze just because my silver is better in every way.

In an unrelated message, my work has a wetlands surrounding it, so I see a lot of Water types around. I've caught Staryu, Horsea, Goldeen, Poliwag, and I even saw a Tentacool once but couldn't find it. The big thing that I kept seeing, though, was Psyduck. Again, though, they just would not show up. The entirety of my breaks for the past 4 days have been spent Psyduck hunting.

Today, the hunting paid off.

I also found a wild Haunter immediately after catching the Psyduck.

>>27111562
what do rural players want exactly? fuckin crybabies, the game can't be omnipresent and predict where rural players are going to be and spawn pokemons for them (if you think the app queries the spawns, you are fucking dumb). It's easier to use heat maps from bigger cities to know where to spawn pokemons.

Sorry, I don't really understand how it works fully, or even what you mean by bronze and silver; but if you transferred Flareon wouldn't you only get one Eevee candy?

So I'm level 9 and my strongest is my Jolteon in the 600s. The problem is that the white semicircle is almost filled up. As I level up, will he get an automatic CP boost or will I be able to power him up more again? Or is he just doomed to stay at that level?

>>27115266
Hell stay the same until u power him up. Increase in level increases max cp achievable (denominator) of the pokemin

Im jelly anon. There was one somewhere near the train tracks in my town, but it was probably in a restricted area so I didn't want to bother.

>>27115447
The pokemon you catch in the wild become a lot stronger as you level up. The general strategy right now seems to be catching as many pokemon as possible and evolving them for experience. Don't bother wasting any stardust on powering up until you're level 15+.

>>27115588
I caught a 500-something one tonight. One of the girls I was hanging out with caught it and it was 1100cp

>>27110470
what the fuck is wrong with that pikachu

At what level will I start finding strong Pokemon?

I just hit level 11 qnd the strongest I've found is in the 400's. Waiting one more level before I lucky egg some evolution experience. Should take me to 15. Will that be enough?

>>27115606

Jesus Christ that's insane. Are the no-evo pokes like Pinsir, Scyther, Electabuzz any good in GO?

>>27111745
is that by fiu?? I'm guessing it's Taimiami Park

Ran out of room because I'm grinding my character. How do I make more room or get rid of duplicates

>>27115762

Take whatever garbage mons you caught and transfer them (if you click on the pokemons profile page and scroll down itll say transfer.)

You effectively delete the pokemon and get one corresponding candy out of it.

>>27115447
>Is there any way to level up your Pokemon faster?

Save up a bunch of easy evolutions (pidgy in my area ie) then wait to use them all at once when you pop a lucky egg. I wouldn't even worry about a main evo in that line yet if they're super common.

>>27115762
Evolve the Pidgey duplicated. Transfer whatever Pidgey you can't evolve. Transfer everything that you don't want. You wanna know how people get EXP easy? Grinding Pidgey. They evolve after 12 candy and are common as fuck. Best to save a fuck load of them and wait until lv 9 when you receive a lucky egg. Use the lucky egg, evolve your Pidgey, and swim in levels.

Do you guys implement any gym strategy?

I always try to stagger my gyms with common type weaknesses. Is there anything else other than dumping your best pokemon on them?

Does /vp/ prefer Mystic or Instinct? Because I just joined Mystic.

20 is a soft cap, so you can never fall too far behind

it takes
25k xp to go from 19 to 20
50k xp to go from 20 to 21
75k to go from 21 to 22

it is exponentially more than just a few levels below where it takes roughly 15k

and often if you look at my pokemon in the gym, it shows my level as 20 instead of 21

I picked Yellow, and now I'm starting to regret it. Pretty much none of my local gyms are yellow. I'm at a decent level, don't want to start over. Do you think they will give you the option to switch teams later in the game?

I heard that in Ingress, they made you start again at level 1 when you switched. If they implement something similar in Pokemon, do you think it will cause you to lose all your pokemon?

I want to go for a walk, but if I did so, I'd alert my sister who's in the living room, who'd want to know why the fuck I'm heading out at 2 in the morning. Also, it's pouring rain outside.

Discovered that my T-Mobile plan was outdated. There was an equally priced plan that offers 2 GB of fast LTE data instead of 1 GB for the same price, while also giving me most of the same features. So now I have a reasonable amount of data for playing Pokemon Go as much as possible.

I also discovered that sometime in the last hour a nearby gym flipped from blue to red. It is in the middle of the night and was raining recently. Fucking valorfags.

Who knows it?

>toss a straight pokeball

It seems to happen at random. Shit gets annoying.

Anyone else have this shit happen to them?

What is the most normal Pokemon at your place? I catch like 5-10 Drowzees every day by sitting in my apartment or going out to let the dog pee.

>>27118426
I get that too. If you spin your finger in place while holding the ball it'll start spinning, and it'll curve through the air when you throw it. I guess sometimes you spin your finger a little just as you release so it fucks you up.

Wish me luck bros, I'm off on a wild adventure

How do you into strong 'mons?
Power up the basic, then evolve or evolve asap and power up then?
Also, should one bother with the Pokémon you get early or just grind trainer exp. and not bother with Pokémon that start with like 100 CP?
Is there a cap to a Pokémon's CP or you keep finding stronger ones the higher your level?

File: image.png (510KB, 750x1334px)

510KB, 750x1334px

I've got 60k dust saved and am not gonna evolve anything anymore. I got excited and wasted candies on a few evolutions and after a few more trainer levels I catch a basic with almost the same CP as my second stage.

>>27118429
Pidgey, Sandshrew and Mankey around my place.
Tons of Ekans and Rattata on my way to work.

What are our guesses lads?
Also, is it confirmed what factors influence an Eevee's evolution, if any?

>>27118813

Don't start evolving anything until you hit a 20+ trainer level. Once you're that high most of the non ultra-common mons will be 400-500 CP and you'll have a mid-1000's by the third stage.

>>27118948
I've heard that the moves it knows determine which evolution it gets. Don't know how well that's been tested though.

>>27118955
The thing, by the time I am Lv.20, there will be people who are Lv.50. Will the Pokémon keep getting stronger or is there a cap?

>>27118980

There's a trainer level cap of 25 I've heard, but I also heard it used to be 20 and it's gonna raise indefinitely. If you're in a rural area it won't matter because everyone will be a low level. If you're metro and not leveling regularly, you'll never be competitive unless you keep within 5 levels of the top players.

If a Pokémon runs out of stardust can I just train it at a gym or something to gain more? Or if it's gone it's gone?

If you're in a metro area you have no excuse, I went up 3 levels the other day visiting my friend in the city. There were stops on every fucking corner, just driving through I gathered a shitload of resources. It's not even a big city either.

>>27119343

Yup. I rode around the other day in my relatively small city and literally didn't stop spinning or catching for more than 10 seconds. The XP rolls in like 10k an hour.

Does anyone know if height/weight are relevant in battle or in levelling up?

What does the white arc framing a pokémon mean?

Has anyone been paying attention to the moveset variations different mons can have, if so, what have you found?

Can we start a separate thread for these ins and outs? I want to be top of my game.

>>27119363
shit sucks ass, there's 1 pokestop near me. About 400 yards from it is the only gym in town.

>>27109207
>>27114720

>>27119385

Weight indicates maximum CP potential. Rings surrounding a Pokemon seem to determine the catch-rate probability.

>>27119310
Oh, I know, trust me.

I'm currently working on evolving a 410 Gloom (if I don't find a better one along the way) and I have a shitty early Kadabra but I'm hoping to find a much better one soon.

I really want a Kangaskhan most of all, but I hope to find it at like level 20 so it's powerful (currently halfway through 16).

>>27119385
Also had 4 Pidgeottos less than 1kg, my lightest is 0,14kg, found no conclusive effect on battles though.

On the other hand, I prefer (non normal) type moves as the quick attack, since it allows you to kill powerful gyms really quickly if you care for the typing. Took out a 1000CP Flareon with my 400CP Stariu today, shot was cash.

Wait, you mean the app has to be fully open? As in, you can see the glowing screen and the game itself?

If the game's just running in the background while my phone is locked, does that count for distance?

Also, does it function on a distance basis, or on a speed basis? I'm going to be running a treadmill in a few hours, so if I keep the app running will it count for my eggs?

I decided to station it as the leader at the furthest of the 4 closest gyms for now though, because I wanted them sweet coins last night.

What level should I be at when I start powering up my pokemon?

>>27116090
valor - this is me. level 16 suburb player

>>27119536
It has to be open and the primary running app. It counts the distance travelled and afterwards checks back if it allignes with your step counter, so treadmill is not going to work.

>>27119566
I would wait until you've got quite a few 1000+ Pokemon first.

I'm at level 16 with only 1 cp1000+ Pokemon so I want to prioritize finding powerful wild Pokemon and evolving them before I power any of them up.

I've been seeing level 20 mentioned as a good powering up point.

Find other people who are alone like you, join with them if you are in the same team, take gyms.

Use Lure spots as you rest and chat destination, just walk up with a "sup trainers" to everyone.

Look presentable

LOOK PRESENTABLE GODDAMN

Stalkerish, but get into the habit of glancing at other peoples phones, look over their shoulder, look at it as they pass by and see if they are playing Go. Again, people who are alone are actually dying to find people to talk about it with. See someone playing go, a simply asking what color they are opens doors

I'm pretty damn sure I've held a gym for 24 hours now. When do I get my dosh?

>>27121023
Go to the shop, click the shield at the top right

>>27121023
Go to the Pokemon store where you trade shekels for poke coins. Top right corner is where you collect coins every 24 hours.

I finally did it, I claimed my local (only) gym for the best team (yellow).

Does anyone know if this is true? Normies on my Facebook keep sharing it.

>>27121361
Locations sound right. Time of day and weather are bullshit though

I found this little guys in the wild nowhere near the water. That's also where I found my blastoise.

so have people not realized that taking a gym and leveling it up with your friends just gives the enemy team more exp??

you have no chance of holding it and I will immediately take it for the free exp and put a magikarp in there so the next group of tards takes it over and I get more free exp

this is a perk of having a gym in your backyard

>level 15
>still don't have a single CP 1000 pokemon

How the fuck are people doing it?

Are eggs disappearing when they're supposed to hatch for anyone else?

>>27121361
Nah that's all bollocks

I live right out in the countryside and I've caught a magikarp in a field on when it was really hot, and I've caught loads of Gastlys when it was the middle of the day
Frequently catch Krabbys outside my house too

There might be a but of truth in it as I've seen a video of a guy sat in a cafe with a lure down by a rivet and he was catching magikarp every 30 seconds, but the weather thing is definitely rubbish.

>>27121530
Some people are burning their stardust on rares to get them over 1K

>>27121531
Sometimes. I lost 2 eggs yesterday when the game froze on me. Move on.

>>27121571
Those were 10k eggs tho is this game fucking serious? It happened three times now.

>>27121017
Help.

i can already tell that stardust is going to be way too difficult to get in the late stages of the game

you only get 100 per catch, you can't buy any or get any more than that

>>27121626
Take ALL THE GYMS

>>27121626
that gives you an incentive to take gyms and hatch eggs

I have a problem

My face is tanned because of this game but my body is pale from years of being me.

People in work will notice

>>27109713
You're right it doesn't count at high speeds.

>level 21

Fuck, I let myself fall behind. I'm done for

>>27121947
My bed room is literally between 3 stops that people in my apartment constantly lure. All I've been doing in my free time is catching pidgeys and ratatas

>>27121930
After level 20 it doesn't matter. It's just dick points.

>go down to old "x" again today
>no chansey, but dratini in the same area
>stays three steps away no matter what, only gets a little closer by moving up the list but never close enough to find
I think there's a rare pokemon spawn in someone's fucking house for some reason because I went everywhere physically possible in the area to find this thing's spawn, and it never fucking showed.
>find another clefairy as I'm leaving, one of the reasons I'm down there since they spawn down there uncommonly
>333 clefairy
>runs away after first pokeball
sigh
I can't get a job and I can't get rare pokemon, or even my favorite. All the gyms nearby all had rhydons, I can barely find rhyhorn around. I wish life would stop shitting on me for two seconds so I can get five seconds of happiness before coming back to the reality that living is a miserable and pointless experience for 99% of the time you're around.

>>27122336
if it's 3 steps you might as well give up

Is it just me or do 3 step spawns glitch out a lot and get stuck in the list without actually being there anymore?

>>27122569
I've tracked down pokemon that were three steps away easily before in a different area, but this particular area that's spawning rare pokemon is impossible to find.
Although I just searched around and found out there's an dratini nest in the next town over, so I might go visit it later. People are finding enough dratinis there in an hour to evolve a dragonite.

It sucks living outside of town with this game, I don't ever catch anything here.

>>27121584
Here's a protip: Kill yourself, fatso :^)

>>27119497
Accurate, this refers to eggs and the distance required to hatch them

>servers fucked
it's always this time too, and the next ~4hrs

what time is it in america?
