So, now that I've power leveled my way up, what team should I pick?

>Capture gyms as a group and prestige/level up the gym BEFORE you stack up.
I've avoided clicking on gyms, could you clarify?

>>27220023
I don't know why Vaporeons are so strong, but my 800 one seems to be able to take down 1100 CP Pokemon with no type advantage easily. Does it stun-lock them or something?

Hitting 20 was ez mode, stayed inside today though due to shitty servers and rain. Aiming for 22 tomorrow.

My pleb friends get Tangela, Mr.Mime, Lapras and shit in their eggs, I've found two Eevees in 10km eggs and my rarest pokemon is Pinsir.

Need help: why are footprints not working? Everything has appeared as 3 footprints for the past 2 days.

Really jealous of the people who can go outside without dying. It's 100 here today, and has been for a few days.

Fuck Texas.

Pick Instinct if you like a challenge.

You need to level up gyms in order for others to put their Pokemon into them and give you back up. Level 2 means 2 Pokemon, level 5 means 5, etc. You level up your own gyms by fighting them, which can take a long time if there are more than 1 Pokemon in the gym because you get more gym experience for beating all Pokemon in the gym. If you have a group all besting that one Pokemon in the gym over and over, you can level it up pretty damn fast and then stack it up with more Pokemon.

It's harder to do this in busier areas though.

When should I evolve my pokemon? Is it better to power them up fully first or not?

I haven't used stardust in a week. Powering up before evolving means nothing.

>>27221097
Level 21

I only just now discovered how overpowered Vaporeon is.

He has 185 HP at CP 1500 and my dragonites only 120.

Not to mention I only had to evolve a CP 500 Eevee to get him.

Anyway, lvl 24 with 270k dust. Farmed a shitton of balls last night and I'm at 111 caught 112 seen. The grind is so retarded at this point that I am considering just traveling to different towns for pokedex completion.

>>27221057
There's something wrong with your Snorlax, he appears to be retarded.

>>27221178
No, I get that, which Is why I waited until I played two uninterrupted hours with no server issues.
The second I use the egg it crashes, didn't even get a single evolution.

>>27221200
I'm in the same boat...im having a shitload of fun, so I'm not concerned with changing it up right now.

>>27221210
I was 5 minutes in my run from using my lucky egg to time my actual eggs hatching and then power evolve. Guess I dodged a bullet

>>27220823
>Your bro from the main games is top-tier
That fuzzy warm feeling. Now if the servers wouldn't always crash at night so i could go hunt those Koffins at night...

How long do you think it'll take for them to introduce new pokemon? Like, do you think we'll see the addition of another generation of pokemon in a couple months? Or not until around the end of the year?

>>27221200
Same here
I don't even go out of my way/usual schedule to play this excuse for a game
The only thing you can rely on is the hatching
Everything else goes down the shitter when you've a bad internet connection or the servers are down

Are Eevee's meant to be rare? Where I live, it seems like it's another shitmon like Pidgey/Weedle/Zubat. I've seriously had enough of them to level up about 16 eeveelutions/evolve/etc.

>>27221038
fellow texasfag here, I ended up walking at the mall yesterday. tons of people playing Go so I didn't stand out and the two pokestops stayed lured up almost the entire time.

will probably go to the galleria in houston next weekend for more walking area. but yeah, fuck this heat. we're to the point where it's actually dangerous to be out walking.

I get the majority of my Great and Excellent throws when the ball hits them right in the eyes, and not on the head or back. Slightly underthrowing will make it hit them on their "front," which is the key.

Level 22 here. 4.5% of the way to level cap.

>20,000,000 exp for max level

>>27221382
Honestly, although I'm real sorry for you because you don't have them, that makes me feel a little better. I hope you find more soon though!

I guess I do live incredibly rural, so maybe that's something to do with it. I must admit it's nice to wake up and see a little Eevee dancing on my bed, sorta makes it worth getting up.

What would you say your most common uncommon poke is? If it's okay to ask, I'm trying to travel to find them all but it's hard and with the radar being broken, today only yeilded a Caterpie and a Jigglypuff, surprisingly both pokemon I hadn't even seen yet.

>>27220879
The reason why 10k eevees are good is because they come loaded with candy. Last 3 I've hatched gave at least 30+

>>27221419
There's a level cap?

>>27221396
Don't we all

>>27221354
You in MD? They're not trash common but I see them more often than any other decent Pokemon.

Level 17 here. I've caught 77 species, and my strongest is a 990cp Magmar.

But gyms are impossible to hold onto here. Just too many players to keep them for more than a few minutes.

Are the servers down for everyone?

>>27221436
Nah, I'm a britbong. Maybe that's got something to do with it, plus the rural-ness of where I live.

It'd be great if I competed in Gyms with the little fellas but there's not one near enough to me (closest is about a 45 minute drive) and I'm not about to give up a whole day trying to get there.

Are eveeloutions completely random? Also, being the only blue in an are of nothing but reds is suffering.

So I had an actual strange experience today, had my phone vibrate well just cruising through my neighborhood; so I look down to see what's popped up. It's a Rattata and something else. It literally disappeared on screen as soon as it appeared. I swear it was a grayish bumpy blob, maybe it was the back of a Nidoran(female) or a shellder but I don't think it was and neither were on my pokeradar. I wasn't moving fast enough for it to be out of my range and I circled back nothing was there.

It's been driving me crazy all day, what if ditto are super random occurances and they appear on the radar as another Pokemon to hide even better? Do you think the ditto in game would be more that light lavender or easer pink?

>>27221462
Yeah
Canada got the game

>>27221514

I think it's far more likely that it was a glitch.

Are lucky eggs and pidgey evolving the best leveling strats?

So true.

>>27221611
Saw a blob I didn't recognize immediately, turned out to be a grimer

>>27221664

Not just Pidgey evolving, any evolving. Just save up until you have a lot of Pokemon to evolve and use the lucky egg.

I have about 25 Pokemon ready to be evolved, I'm just holding off until I catch a higher-CP Gastly.

>>27221727

I don't use the word "autistic" very often, but...

Servers still dead for everyone else too?

Also can someone enlighten me how bluestacks actually works? Can I switch between mobile and pc and is it compatible with Trainer Club accounts?

>>27221664
Mass evolving pidgey and any others you have. Especially stuff you don't have the evo in your dex yet. You get double the new dex exp as well.

Is there a point to focusing xp past 15 or so? My vapes can take all the gyms and later on everything will be annoying to catch.

>>27221664
Save all evolving until you're under an Lucky Egg. Catch everything you see for better evolving strats. I evolved 42 Pokemon last time I was under an egg.

Only thing I didn't evolve under an Egg was a Clefairy. I just caught the last one I needed after the Egg expired. Ended up with a 1000+CP Clefable.

>>27221635

I live in NYC. There's never "everyone is asleep." I've seen nearby gyms constantly cycling through teams at 2 in the morning.

The most I can ever get is 10 coins per day, because in the time it takes you to walk between gyms, you'll almost certainly have lost the previous one. So all I can do is grab one gym and cash out.

My job is made easier by being in a small town, however. I can actually hold gyms for days. There is a psychological perk to immediately taking them back, but sometimes I just wait the extra 5 hours before striking.

Seaking suck massively it's not even funny.
But great team, you exp fast

Bulkier pokemon just have a huge advantage over offensive pokemon, provided they also have strong attacks. There's really no point in using offensive pokemon at all. Plus offensive pokemon need to leave themselves vulnerable for about 4 or 5 seconds to use their secondary attack while the defensive pokemon have no problem being vulnerable for that long because they're just eating up hits.

There's also no speed stat, which makes them even more inviable. Can anyone name a single frail pokemon that's better to use than the likes of Vaporeon, Snorlax, etc.?

>>27222080

I'm not convinced that it would be any better then ("city that never sleeps" and such, which is pretty much true), and anyway I'm sure as hell not waking up that early. If I cared enough about this game to bother waking up that early, I'd just be buying coins.

In my experience they're generally mote common in suburbs. People in urban areas tend to get different pokemon but you guys get a lot of the pokemon that are/were Normal type in Gen I: mostly Eevee, Jigglypuff, and Clefairy.

I am happy that Vaporeon is getting a lot of love for this version. It seems like Jolteon or Flareon usually get attention otherwise.

I'm a level 13 and my highest is a 300 Oddish. Is this normal? When do I start getting stronger mons?

>>27222048
I might be wrong about this, but to me it seems like you have a 20h timer for your profile, and after the time is up, you can collect rewards. If you wait until the timer is done, take over 3 gyms, you can immediately collect 30 coins.

Pretty solid, bonus points for efficient nicknaming.

>>27222284

Yes, that's correct. The timer resets every 20 hours, and once it resets you can cash in your gyms (10 coins per gym) at any time. So ideally you'd cash in when holding a few gyms, wait 20 hours, repeat.

Doesn't help in places where gyms don't last more than a few minutes at a time. Best you can do there is get one gym and cash in immediately.

What cheats?

Halfway to 23, I'm curious just how ridiculously powerful even the most common Pokemon will be when we reach the level cap. I assume that means, as future generations are released, that everything will already be 800+ CP off the bat. Curious to see how they handle that.

>>27222500

>>27222480
Of course you can catch a low level Snorlax and power it up once, but that's still shit tier, same for Lapras.

>>27222485
>easy list
>lists Snorlax and Lapras as best
So I'm right? Yes, I'm right.

>>27222488
Everyone's got Vaporeons, it doesn't give me an edge over anyone.

Level doesn't really matter i'm 21 and barely know anything.

With that being said, are attack speeds determined by pokemon or by the actual move itself?

When defending gyms is cp and hp all that matters?

I have a 1600 Lapras (which is my highest cp pokemon so far), what makes it good? It has the 10 damage ice attack and blizzard as the moves but it attacks really slowly and seems pretty weak in my area with so many arcanines around.

Explain to me how I'm oversimplifying it then. 4 out of 5 gyms I see that aren't being taken down every half an hour have a Snorlax or Lapras on top of them.

Go on late night drives with your friends and some weed at low traffic areas. Cruise at around 15MPH when you can. Every once in a while take a route that lets you hit a lot of pokestops so you can replenish/get XP. Boom.

>>27222652
No Gym is unassailable regardless of what pokemon is in it, so saying that anyone who doesn't have certain pokemon is shit tier is a dumb oversimplification.

It's the balancing. You can basically take down anything twice your cp if you have type advantage.

>>27222699
Hopefully you guys will drive off a cliff instead of crashing into people. That would make the world just a bit more better and safe again

-not everyone walking around and playing is concentrating on assaulting gyms/bolstering their roster with high cp pokemon and good counters for gym leaders

-you get to take 6 pokemon into a gym with you, unless you are walking in there with garbage you CAN chew through a high level top tier pokemon

-even if you don't take out the leader of the gym you still drop the prestige, meaning the fights will get way easier as you have fewer to do and more of your team at full health

it's all a matter of how much time you want to invest in it. if i see a rank 7 or 8 gym, a lot of times i'll just skip it because i don't have the time to sit there and work through it. sometimes i do, though, and it mixes shit up and makes things more interesting when i have to actually work for a gym instead of downright murdering whatever cannon fodder raticates and pidgeots people have jammed into them.

Couple of questions regarding settings for phone time spoofing. I came across some info that resetting the time, or altering, gave you a boost to eggs/incense, and having both I tried it. It did work, as in gave me up to a max of 59:59 on the timer (1h max, any above resets to 30m), but I only caught around 5 pokemon by not moving, while the last one I gave up on waiting for after nothing for 12 minutes. The questions I have are mainly as following :

- Is spoofing cellphone time local or server affected.
- Does setting your time past 7pm actually spawn night time catches.

I can already confirm that speeding up your phones time by 6m to try and bypass the stop's 5m timer does not work. It will change back to blue, from pink, but keep saying try again till 5m have past from when you checked it (this also applies to changing time to affect spawns rates). This is to say all pokestops are server side timed. I can't seem to confirm the previous 2 questions.

I've spent an hour driving around claiming gyms and can't claim my rewards. Fuck this game, where do I delete my account?

>>27224188
I've noticed a lot of people who are bored or dissatisfied with the game because they expected a full fleshed out new pokemon game, from a f2p PHONE app. It's a phone app my man, not a commercial grade release. You have to remember 90% of the audience are normies that can't into doing things more complex than finger flicks or taps.

If you're displeased with the bare basics of the game right now, take into consideration its age. It's only going to grow to be more fleshed out the longer it interacts with the public. You'll see trading soon, possible more gens in a month, and the real endgame goal for the team I assume is local battles (not gyms). Leader boards are also possibly coming, yet not sure what they will "lead" in.

>>27224450
You need to go into the shop, and top right has the action to claim rewards. You also need to have your pokemon actually in the gym when you go to claim it. The reward claim has a 21h CD, so don't bother fighting for a gym when the CD is up.

This is what it should look like. The top right green bubble is the gym "defending" amount. I don't do many fights, but I'm seeing that the more pokemon you put in a gym, the bigger the number, and bigger reward. It has nothing to do with how long they are put in for. I've claimed with 1 gym ownership, and got 10pc and 500 dust.

It's great. Just a tip I think people like seeing more variety in a roster, I'll often add lower CP pokemon to my screenshots so the roster has a little diversity. Get rid of one of those Pidgeot if you have another decent fully evolved mon.

>>27224690
Only buy worth the shekels. Having all 9 eggs hatching at the same time is the biggest boost to efficiency you can get.

>>27224690
If you have money to waste, sure hatch them with a lucky egg too.

If you're on a tight budget, then fuck no. Save your limited incues for 10k, and infi for 5km or 2k, till you get another 10k.

Seeing as the general is on page 7 I thought this would be the best place to ask these questions.

Do higher level/rarer Pokemon appear as you level up?

How do you deploy a Pokemon to defend a gym (the little"+" button hasn't shown up at any of the guns I've gone to)?

I fell for the hype folks go a new phone just to play this game finally got outside meet alot of new people and while that is great and all I reached level 15 and finally had enough and uninstalled this piece of mobile crap. this game is literally everything wrong with modern gaming and it saddens me to see so many including myself fall for the hype.

Where I even start with this game. I'm sure everyone knows this game is just a reskinned version of ingress one was a niche game and the other a smash hit. I guess this just proves you don't need an original Idea just the right IP attached to your product to get people to lap it up but no that ain't even the worst gaming sin this game has to offer. It shits on a great game series and dumbs it down for casuals. Why even allow us to choose a starter pokemon if it's just gonna be transfered for candy. There is no wild pokemon battles. instead you flick balls at pokemon that's about it. gym battles are a joke and I don't foresee battles between other players going any better. And from what I've read once you get past 20 this game becomes masochistic with it's xp curve forcing people to pay dish out or be left behind. No one 30+ has gotten their naturally. I expect most people will quit playing once they hit 15-20 like myself. and while marketed as a great way to go out and get some excersize the fastest xp is to sit by 2-3 lured pokestops all day. and I know I mentioned this earlier but the battling system is shit. like real shit you get 2 moves almost no strategy is involved besides using your Highest CP pokemon the mainline pokemon games had such an amazingly well balanced battling system but instead we get this shit. just ugg.

But the worst part is the incredible success that such a shitty game that I wouldn't even call alpha has managed to achieved. It'll prusuad nintendo and every other gaming company to making really shitty mobile games of beloved IP's

I'll probably be banned but I just needed to rant.

Does it make a difference if I use an incense at an already lured Pokestop? or am I just wasting incense?

I'm only level 8 and totally new to Pokemon in général, but I have a question. Doesn't the game get boring at higher levels? I mean, many people probably pay just to get the best monsters/high level, and people who play without spending money will never beat them, right?

My best so far.

I'm gonna save my stardust and not worry about gyms because they're too easy to lose. My buddies and I had a gym up to level 8 with all 1500+CP and literally 1 dude sat there and slowly whittled it down with what we learned later to be a team of six 7-800cp pokes. We talked to the guy and he said it was tough but he had like 50 revives and an ass load of potions to blow so he just went for it. And we're not butthurt tryhard sperglords so we congradulated team Mistake on their valiant win against the best local Valor gym.
So what I do now is just take the 3 local gyms for my 1500 dust and 30 coins because no matter how well you level a gym it's gonna get beat, slowly but surely.

>>27226783
Did that with one my strongest ones in a level 5 gym in the center of the city once. Expected to have it back after an hour or two. Next day, still there. Checked it out, gym has gained two levels with mine still on top.

>>27226803
>no matter how well you level a gym it's gonna get beat
Am I the only one who thinks this is a major design flaw? As it is there's really no point in taking gyms and defending them is impossible.

>>27226828
It's at a restaraunt and we had valor snipping it before we had a chance to put some in. So the other one with me put a snorlax in.

It'll either sit there for a while or come back soon. It's an active spot.

>>27224669
Even the 10 cp become harder to catch as you get higher level.

>>27226878
If gyms were inherently impossible to overcome, there would be no point in trying. There are kids playing this game that aren't going to have nearly as much free time as most autists.

Pokemon is a children's franchise.

>>27226878
The only point in taking gyms is that free stardust

>>27226902
>If gyms were inherently impossible to overcome
How about, god forbid, a balanced system? Where defending a gym is as hard/easy as taking one? I've been at a gym recently with 2 factions fighting over it and it literally kept going back and forth between them endlessly. Why would it be so bad if the faction with more players/higher level players/better Pokemon could defend a gym?

>>27226668
What's wrong with putting your strongest in a gym

>>27227027
Nothing, you don't need it to kick baby valor's out of their gym's anyways.

>>27227027
You usually keep your strongest on you to challenge other gyms more effectively. It usually doesn't matter much whether you put a CP10 Magikarp inside a gym or your 1.6k Vaporeon, either will get kicked out pretty soon.

>>27226285
>spending $10 on eight three-use items
Not happening.

>>27226285
Like I posted in the other thread, I bought $10 wor of pokecoins and got 8 incense, 3 lure modules, 2 lucky eggs and 1 bag upgrade. Still have a few coins left over and just got 20 coins from two gyms so I might drop another five bucks so I can upgrade my bag again, get more pokemon storage for pidgey hoarding and another lucky egg so I can hit level 21 this weekend (at level 18 now).

>>27227113
Correction: 3 lucky eggs and 2 lure modules.

Rank the basic moves by type

If some one has done this already I think we would all appreciate seeing it because I actually though my pigeot with steel wing was going to be worth something in a battle. Fuck this makes no sense.

Is there a simple grade? Because the difference between moves like wing attack and steel wing feel like 2 seconds in battle.

>hatch 10 km egg
>get an aerodactyl, exactly what I was hoping for
>steel wing and iron head for moves
It's garbage right? Transfer and hope for another later?

>>27227150
This would be within my interest as well

>>27227158
I'd still hold onto it and use it until you get another one unless you have to train it to help it compete because its CP hatched too low. Transferring it doesn't help you until you get the other one after all.

>>27227158
Steel Wing is as good as it gets, what does Iron Head do in GO?

>>27227158

I got 2 with flamethrower and 2 with heatwave. Flamethrower is a dozen times better. I always put the heatwave shitmons in gyms despite being slightly higher CP.

Just going to end my fucking life.

The list of moves. But no idea about frequency or dps stats.

Anyone have anything with that in it?

I think you can find that information in the game dump people were sharing yesterday.

So I'm almost 16 but I'm really low on dust and I don't seem to be accruing it much at all since I just catch trash pokemon. Are gyms the only viable way to get mass dust?

>>27221013
Shits been buggy for about that long. Consensus is they just need to update for that but are too busy with server issues right now

>>27227404
Eggs, man. Hatch them eggs.

>>27222110
Offensive pokemon are great for taking gyms with a friend. A simple tank/DPS setup will take down any gym even with relatively weak pokemon because the tank can spam dodge.

>>27227432
That muc I'm working on. What about the double XP items? Whats the most efficient way to get the most use outta them? I was just gonna evolve a bunch of pidgeys and bats

>>27227403
Is there something like this for the special moves?That's perfect.

>>27227457
I'd assume it'd be in the same spreadsheet if it existed.

Footprints aren't working because of an update they did to Pokemon locations. Check your "caught at" location on your Pokemon compared to how they were before, the map is scaled out a lot further, and I guess the footprint system was based off of that. So if you're anywhere within an entire city's length close from a Pokemon, that's 3 steps. If you're closer than that, it's 2 steps, but you're on the Pokemon already

It's unnecessary updates to systems breaking other properly functioning systems. Like how the servers were down, so they decided to add every single user in Canada to up the traffic.

Fuck Niantic seriously

>>27227537
Level? What CP was the Magikarp?

>>27227503
Nah, footprints were still working for a few days after that update. Now the "caught at" maps are showing completely blank instead of just zoomed-out.

>>27221058
That would look extremely creepy if we're a normal person I'd call the police for suspicious activity.

>>27227403
Thanks

>>27227583
Magikarp was 160-170ish, level 23.

>>27227590
No, they weren't.

I didn't even power up victreebel, that's what he came to when i evolved him from bellsprout/weepinbell

>>27227537
Depends. Those poliwraths got bubble or mudshot?
Moves are way more important than CP and your big bads could be taken out by a level 8's jolteon.

But More exp = higher levels = higher cp pokemon showing up

>>27224488
I am not the guy you are responding but I just want to point out that every fucking game has a shill, and you're the pokemon go shill whether you know it or not.

>>27228015
Is the shill the guy who calls everyone a shill?

Are you the shill?

Pretty much that. If you can, try to hatch eggs while evolving
