Not sure if I should evolve now or wait till my next Lucky Egg binge. I guess the latter would be more resourceful but it's a new dex entry for me.

>>28373832
>No Balls Edition

How does this happen? I have so many Pokeballs that I have to dump them to make room to try to get Great and Ultra Balls. And that's after dumping all non-Ultra Potions and most Revives. I'm constantly running out of bag space.

>>28373921
I'm from some 3rd world asian shithole.
also it's not helping that my city is landlocked. having to rely on a single lake for my magikarp and dratini candies is quite suffering 2bh.

>>28373942
> New dex entry.
In that case, waiting for the lucky egg makes even more sense. Unfortunately Primeape will almost never be useful in a gym, so wait.

I'm sitting at 230 coins and I don't know what to get. I've been getting incubators to hatch 10km eggs, but all I get recently are 5km ones. My bag is at 500, but I still feel like I could use some more space. I've never upgraded the Pokémon storage, but I've never hit the max, so I don't know if I'd actually need it any time soon.

>>28374395
what's stopping you from saving it instead of spending it on something that you don't currently need?

>>28374029
A lot of it depends on where you live relative to pokestops and groupings thereof. Also having a job/school/family etc.

>>28374454
Nothing, I guess.

gym rewards should be updated ffs. a maximum of $1 per day? it's kaput. and it's not like placing 10 mons on 10 gyms is easy, you'd be lucky to hold 3 simultaneously if you live within the city.

Is it possible for locations to request Pokémon Go to be completely inert in their area? My college campus used to have PokéStops and now there's none, and no Pokémon on the radar.

Started playing a month ago and I'm level 13
What level you guys at?

>>28374708
Yes. Property owners can petition Niantic to have pokestops and/or gyms removed.

>>28374708
>you'd be lucky to hold 3 simultaneously if you live within the city.

3? I'd love to have three. Once I was lucky and got 2. But even now, with less people playing the game, gyms near me still rarely last longer than 15-20 minutes.

>>28374761
Just hit 24 yesterday.

Is the grass really greener from the other side of 30?
I'm at 29 right now but I'm not seeing any of the high cp mons everyone seems to brag about.

>>28374761
nothing fancy, i have been playing since it came out, but mostly once a week and im barely at lvl19

Is Ember/Heat Wave for a Flaereon decent?

>>28374761
played at the start of the month, currently lvl 23. lucky enough to have 3 clustered pokestops with almost 24/7 module party though.

>>28374839
take this with a grain of salt but imo, there's a noticeable change in mon cp appearance once you hit levels 15, 20, 23, 25, 27, 30.

and iirc, all wild mon cps are capped at level 30.

>>28374929

Its the worst moveset for Flareon but "worse" is bout 5 damage a second.The good part is its an Eevee so getting another one shouldnt break your back and the Eeveelutions all are moveset RNG resistant

>>28374761

Ive been on since day one which I actually was able to start playing by day 5. I was also playing on a LG potato for the first month or so but upgraded to a non-starch related communication device and now im level 25

>>28374796
I hate that

I'm still upset with my dragon pulse Lapras fuck this shit

i wastold that the pokemon you get from an egg is decided as soon as you get it. is there a way to tell what will come from each egg before hatching them?

So, really curious here. Do you interact regularly with other people who play? If so, have they gone full retard in traffic? I mean, the guys in my usual hotspot are speeding, advancing red lights, getting pulled by cops in a nearly daily fashion.
I have a full regional dex, so I can't bring myself to risk my life for a dragonite, as I already have a few.

>>28375271

No. I'm getting kind of sick of these egg related questions

>You don't know what's inside
>You can't control what kind of kilometer egg drops
>You can't delete eggs from your inventory

is hatching eggs going slower for anyone else

ive noticed the distance to hatch my 5km eggs have been getting longer with eatch update.

>>28374952
I was so pumped when I finally reached 29, but a hundred wild encounters later, I haven't seen anything at a higher level than when I was 28 or even 27...

To make matters worse, I have to be extra careful now about what gyms I take because people could report me because of my high level. That really sucks.

>>28374056
>Primeape will almost never be useful in a gym

Storage space takes priority for first buy, right?

>>28375815
Storage space, incubators, lucky eggs.

Incubators are priority. If you buy pokeballs you need mental help.

>tfw the highest level in my area (31)

Feels good to be king.

Are any of you the king of your respective towns as well? Too bad it means fuck all and the lazy mystics never help out the gyms i level up for them. It is nice starting little rivalries with the local valor though. We all have this schedule where they own the gyms at night and I'll go take them down again after the bars close.

>>28375836
I'm probably the highest Instinct member at level 24. Also the most active too. Literally no one else ever puts their dumb pokemon in when I take over a gym.

>>28375569
>people could report me because of my high level. That really sucks.

I was worried about that too for a while, since I'm way ahead of everyone else here, but to think the normies give that much of a shit to report you is just silly. They don't care

>note to valorfags
Blow away by stats is better than excellent. Candice said she was blow away by my 15/14/15 dragonite's stats

Also said many times that my 80% mons were strong, so table lied: strong =80% -67%

>>28375866
>>28375569

I also fear this, especially when I was testing out the bubble strat that requires you to leave a 10/20CP pokemanz in the gym.
I mean, in a normie's perspective.
>why the hell is there a lone 20cp poliwag on a lvl 10 gym? fucking hacker reported

I'm never trying that shit again, shit is too risky and inefficient without you being a good goy and using lucky eggs 24/7.

I just caught a perfect IV Krabby.

how should i feel?

>>28376004

it's still better than nothing doe. it's just unfortunate that kingler is shit on this current meta.

Just appraised my Magmar and got 3/3 and an Incredible! it has karate chop and fire blast

What should I do with it? 1294 cp

>>28375915
That's not how normies think though, most people just think somebody was being a cheeky asshole for putting a low level Pokemon in a gym. They don't immediatly think "hacker". You're probably thinking that because you spend too much time here with all the ban fear mongering rhetoric

>>28376154
I don't know man, but if you see a max level gym with only a 20cp pokemon in it, that would be suspicious enough for them to think that the trainer who did that was cheating.
that's only me though, maybe I'm just a lil bit paranoid or something.

How can you know you are the best in your area? I'm lvl 24 instinct and so far I've seen 3 with the same level but probably leveled up higher since then.

Also being yellow is suffering. It's hard as fuck to collect coins from gyms since valor and mysticfags appear out of nowhere and kick your mon out of the gym in less than a minute. My record is 20 coins, can't collect more.

>>28375833
Relax, never said a thing about balls. I'm asking because I finally managed to get 230 coins and am wondering what should be my first buy. Incubators from level ups have ran out but at the same time I get "Your bag is full" every second day.

>>28376410
Stay strong. I'm 23 and managed to get 30 coinsfor the first time day before yesterday. I saw three gyms being miraculously yellow but after putting mon in second I saw there was a fight inside. Turns out some Mystic was alrweady fighting him. Thankfully he was a nice guy and waited a couple of minutes when I asked him to give me time to collect a third gym. I guess not all of them are faggots.

What's a good mon to kill Hypnos with? Aside from the top tier that's just owerpowering anything?

>>28377264
Dark moves. Snorlax with lick will lap them up.

Also ghost and bug moves. Even hypno with shadow ball is good against other hypnos.

is Arbok even viable?
can it be a decent fairy killer? There aren't enough Wigglytuffs and Clefables in town to test it myself

I'm wondering how the fuck people in my area have Dragonites already and still have a job. It's been too hot to actually go out and hatch eggs, and to my knowledge there's no dratini nests around anymore.

Seriously, where the fuck are people getting these bastards?

>>28378795

>>28378789
It's sure gonna wreck those cp1200 Wigglys with 180 HP who are at similar level with only a x1.25 SE bonus.
I don't have an Arbok or Wigglytuff yet but from what I learned about this game so far, my ballparks shouldn't be far from truth.

Sorry man. Arbok's usefulness ends at pretty sprite.

>>28378795
Do you have an Eevee or Kabuto nest around you? If yes that means there was a Dratini nest there earlier.

>>28378822
surely they'll do Seviper justice though, right? ;_; fuck you Niantic

>>28378830
not him but the park that I often to is an eevee nest and never have I seen it change since the beginning.

>>28378851
Some of the nests didn't change, true but majority did. Usually by a couple of spots down in the Pokedex.

>>28378920
that sucks for me then if that's the case. I need those dratini candies so damn much.

>>28379014
Wait until Gen II is introduced, Chikorita spawn appears in your area and gets moved down to Dratini after two weeks.

>>28378830

There apparently was a Dratini nest downtown by Pier 6 Pavillion, but even so I don't think everyone would just go downtown for pokemon, there's no fucking parking down there. The hell would everyone have done? Take the bus all the way from the fucking county?

And even still, it's been one of the hottest summers on record. I don't think anyone has been wanting to be outside in high-90s low-100s weather.

Being a GO player with a job in construction is a pain in the ass thus far. By the time you get off work you are tired as fuck and it's hot as hell out, and you can't just take a nap and go out later because you have to be up at 5 am to be at work at 6. Hopefully it'll be better once fall rolls around so it'll be more bearable to be out in the afternoon, but even still I don't know where to go since I'm out in the county. Only place that really good for go within a reasonable distance is for hatching eggs and dropping lures, which people do but it really only attracts shitmons.

I wish there was a complete database of nests. Everything I've found seems to be taken from community submitted data and nothing datamined from the servers.

It's not a ban, but a known error that Niantic conveniently refuses to address.

I believe waiting a bit more, catching a Pokemon or attacking a different gym fixes this, but I'm not sure, never had that error myself.

Guys I can't play since a couple of weeks ago, I think I've been banned but I never cheated (not even radars, I used to go with a friend that uses a radar for both of us) :S

I've sent several tickets for some support, but no answer, do you have some advice?

>>28379547
I force closed the app and then got through.

I am level 22 and get so annoyed High level players not training a gym when they put good pokemon In.

So I can never train or add my pokemon so there is only ever 3 pokemon in gym in Red Valor around here.

>>28379447
>>28379475
Thank you, will do it after evolution spree (which should push me to lv24).

>>28379559
there's nothing you can do but wait, they'll get to your ticket eventually
what makes you think you're banned what kind of message/error do you get?

>>28379510
Problem with connection. Either unstable or GPS drift. The area from which you can access the gym should be bigger.

>>28379621
Unable to authenticate, I already tried to uninstall and install and still the same error :S

>>28379559
Leave this game behind and never look back

It's better this way

>>28379622
I force closed and switched to "gps only" and managed to train the gym up a level and dump a hypno.

Fuck people that put vape/snorlax/lapras as the weakest defender, I hate training that shit. I only managed to train this one defending with a 1337 Clefable because I had a 1313 Weezing, and only ever had about 1hp left each time.

>>28379643
I think many of those are people who took the gym and put their strongest mon in there when it was lv1 but then came higher level trainers from same team who put their Pokemon at the top.

>>28379643
>1337 clefable
hax

>>28379638
Yeah, that's a ban.

For the record, were you playing using your friend's wi-fi while he was scanning or used free public connections a lot?

there was also a level 37 with at least two 3400+dragonites but he seems to have disappeared (I wonder why)

Retards in my area keep putting Hypnos as the weakest mon. It's almost impossible to level up a gym with a fuckin Hypno on the bottom.

>>28379719
Then write that in your next appeal, since that seems to be the only thing that could theoretically flag you (though I haven't heard of it happening outside of botting, but your pal could have been running one on his IP).

So basically go full I dindu nuffin, didn't know my friend was a cheater, just used the wi-fi etc. If it works, you might get unbanned by the end of the year, it's worth a shot, if anything.

New entry for both of us. I don't even have a Seel yet

>>28380054
What do you mean? It has a lot of delay from startup to hit but it works every time.

>>28376390
kek

>>28380070
Oh, so you just deal with it. I mean, it lowers usability of the attack significantly. I feel like that if you get something to 30% HP with Frost Breath there's no point in firing off a Blizzard.

>>28379643

Do you guys use the AR?

>>28380395
Fuck no.

>>28380171
So it says recommended moveset for Blastoise is Flash Cannon? Is this a joke? Also, Water Pulse over Hydro Pump for vaporeon?

>>28380420
>gym defenders

>>28380420
This is for defence. The AI benefits from slower, harder hitting attacks because it attacks at the same rate no matter what moves it has.

The AI also has double HP than normal, which allows them to generate extra charge attack meter due to gaining meter from taking so much damage. This affects what moves are optimal for defending pokemon, which is usually way different than for attacking pokemon.

>>28380395
only for some cool photos if I like the background but never when I'm actually trying to fight/catch something

>>28380420
Gym defenders. The faster charge move are more often used by the Ai. Get hit by 3 water pulses in a row, sucks more than maybe getting hit by hydro pump at the end of the match.

>>28380420
Yep some movesets are better for attacking and others better for defence.

Hydro pump for attack.

Water Pulse for defence.

To do with how AI works.

If you got rid some high level Water pulse mons you bet go cry now .

>>28380583
d-dragon pulse on a lapras makes it an excellent defender, r-right? hehe

Does a Pokemon's CP capacity increase if you level up, or does it remain the same and you have to catch a better one?

Goddamn buddy update when? Extra candies for evolution are all I need for Dex completion at this point.

>>28380903
It increases alongside the level, so you can power them up.

>>28380925

does anyone remember what days of the week the other 'big' updates happened?

of course none of you reply congradulating me it fled on my gf after i watched it pop out of 10/12 ultraballs before time expired (never seen such a high encapsulation rate) - i had 5 ultraballs caught it with 4th.

It was of a case of me going to go alone to walk and pick up beer, check scannsr, nada, check by water tower randomly (out of way), and dragonite 14min left. Tell her we both run. This is the 4th dragonite ive caught in gold coast (first over level 5) but unforntunately my gf is 1/3, which burns cause this was 15/14/15 and i actually held off hitting level 27 so we could catch same cp mons, we should have both had this perfect fatty

anyways, lucky her has hatched 3 lapras caught a 4th. She has 30 candies left and they range from 1600-2100 cp

Weve seen your team, it looks like a bot account. Are you being paid to play this game 12 hours a day? The amount of magikarp you farmed is cringe worthy

A friend of a friend is sponsored by marriot and literally gets flown around to do this shit.

How to bot? I just want a few levels and I'm getting fed up with Niantic. Not giving them a cent, so fuck lucky eggs. Wouldn't really feel bad for cheating due to how borderline autistic they behave and the little maintenance they provide for this game. If I get banned, hey, fuck it, I'm willing to risk it.

>>28382895
>How to bot?

Depends on the bot in question, but for most it's the following: Download a bot, put/unzip it into a folder. Run it's executable file, enter account info and coordinates, then shut it down and set up it's parameters such as walking speed, whether to use incense/lucky eggs for mass evolving, sniping etc., though thid last part is optional, most bots are set to work fine with default settings.

Then you kick back, watch the lines of code (or download a visualizer to see it's movements on a map) and wait for your ban.

>>28374029
buy more bag space.Upgrade to 500 or maybe 750 and you won't have this problem.

>>28384526
yeah, its a fucking walking based pokemon game, people seem so angry at the fact even 2 months after launch. like surely they've known the premise for a while, what are they angry at

Can someone explain how when one of your attackers faints, what comes out is decided?
>generally it seems to be the next one in order so long as that one has more health than anything prior
>see this happen like 80% of the time
>my 1.2k cloyster solos a 2k dragonite with a single sliver of hp left
>Lapras comes out so I switch to electabuzz
>he dies to a leggy blizzard
>oh well my next mon is a vaporeon she can handle i-
>cloyster comes out and dies instantly

Why not just give us a prompt and like 5-10 seconds to pick what we want to come out when our mons faint ffs?

>>28384929
I think most of the anger comes from the fact that, depending on where you live, a 10 km walk might yield you the same results a 1 km one would for someone else.

Got my 4th ever 10k egg. Hatches previously have been Omanyte, Electabuzz, and Eevee just yesterday. Ready to be disappointed, reassurance would be nice.

>>28385122

>spend most of yesterday at a park with regular Eevee and Exeggcute
>walk 10km during that time out
>2 10km eggs
>Pinsir and Eevee

>>28385122
never lose hope, I spent a month and a half Snorlaxes and then hatched 3 in a week
still waiting for that Lapras although Dewgong is a surprisingly good replacement

>>28384989
I think that happened since the game will automatically look for the first living Pokemon in the initial party order, in this case, it was Cloyster.

As for why there isn't a prompt, well, it would seem Niantic can't do anything well with this game, except copy-paste stuff from Ingress and since that game has much simpler combat, they didn't have much to work with.

>>28385234

Dewgong is great, one of my favorite mons in Go.

Its like an easy to obtain and power up Lapras (depending on where you live). Punches holes in Dragonites with optimum moveset

>>28384989

Second time a seel fled on the crapper. Prob should turn AR mode off when im home though its more fun.

Dodging is east af in AR mode too when battling

>>28385326
Oh, I know I am but in the past I thought if a mon fainted it'd choose the next one instead of going back.

The problem isn't the order but simply, the way the game functions now in choosing what comes out, I'm liable to have to waste revives when I can otherwise save a mon at 10% hp- if the mon I'm currently losing dies during a lag-spike.

Troublesome.

>>28385742
No difference, you just can't take meme pictures.

>>28380537

I think a lot of that depends on the amount of time the match goes on too. Like a Body Slam Snorlax will outdamage a Hyper Beam Snorlax at certain intervals of time and only fall behind after about the third Beam

>>28385799
That's kinda what I mean. The quick charge move mons do a lot of damage early. Most matches go pretty quick and those long charge mons might only get one off, and it's easier to dodge. I hate dealing with seed bomb eggs, more than solar beam eggs.

i hate the fact that the game doesn't allow you to use your favourite mons , to be a decent fighter you mandatory have to use those 5 or 6 over-powered mons.

>>28386420
it's definitely one of the rarest 1st stage pokemon, along with the fossils.

doesn't help that some people LIKE ME have their phones crash when its model loads at all.

>>28386485
I hate the fact that we already know which 2nd gen pokémon are gonna be great for fighting.

>hatched dozens of 10km eggs now
>not a single Snorlax or Chansey

Got one Lapras and the rest was Eevee, Jynx and Magmar overload.

they will balance the game before 2nd gen is released

>>28386623
Youre supposed to catch chansey, like i did

>>28386052

>He keeps multiples

3 points for instinct, -1 point for bot squad

I hope you don't really believe that. You're gonna be disappointed if you do.

>Going this in depth over a tap swipe kiddies mobile app

Is he the Veritasium of Pokemon Go?

Is Venomoth actually viable yet? No dark types, grass types are mostly grass +bug/poison/psychic and physics will kill it fast anyway

>>28386708
Then where the fuck is it? I'm lvl 25 now and I've never even seen this piece of shit on the radar.

And don't hit me with the "lol hospitalz" meme.

>>28386933

The only time I have caught one was from a lure in a city center, I was walking through at the time so got really lucky

I have not even seen one on my radar or scanning maps since release

I'm real salty right now. I opened the app in my dorm and there was an 822 growlithe. I caught it but immediately got an error message and was taken back to the overhead map. This is the first time this has happened to me and I'm so close to getting an arcanine. Anyone know why this happens?

Also a vileplume spawned on my school cafeteria at lunch today. 1496 with solar beam and 86.7% IVs. Pretty happy cause I didn't have one yet.

>>28386476
how do you have two lines of nickname? or is it shooped?

>>28387246
Error messages usually happen when you tap the pokémon just as it despawns.

>>28387286
o wait nvm you said you caught it

>>28374056
new pokedex entries last more time, if you aim to efficiency is better to evolve only pokemon you already know

Random Lickitung in my neighborhood ran after one goddamn ball. The walk I took only tacked on 3.7/10km on my egg.

>>28377753

Well yeah unless that picture is a forgery. My friend got totally cleaned out by a wild Dragonite and the same thing happened to my girlfriend with a Blastoise.

It's not that you don't have balls it's that you use them all on rare encounters.

Yes it can get the job done vs Fairies, but the fact is Muk or even the Nidos are way better at that niche for multiple reasons.

Be resourceful and use whatever is currently available to you but don't waste precious stardust on things that will be outclassed by future dex entries. That's my advice.

Also both relevant Fairies run Pound as their optimal primary move so it's going to be taking neutral damage from everything but their charge moves. This applies to Muk and the Nidos as well but at least they have the bulk to take those Pounds while dishing back SE Poison Jabs. Another thing to keep in mind is that Arbok actually does higher DPS with Bite instead of its STAB Poison move so essentially an optimized Arbok will be hitting Fairies for NVE with its charge moves. But if you have one with Acid/Gunk Shot it will be able to get the job done.

Post nest change Dragonite trainer here.

>By the time the nest change rolled around I had something like 3 Dratini candies
>Notice this one corner a block away from me near a little pond became absolutely awash in Magikarp
>Start grinding there for a Gyarados, start noticing Dratini pop up every once in awhile
>As I spend more time at the corner and do random scans as I'm not there in person it becomes clear that Dratini will spawn there maybe twice an hour. If not Dratini than other rare spawns like Vaporeon, Kabuto, Dragonair, Slowbro, Tentacruel, etc.
>Farm quite a few for candies there

>Go to work as a security guard
>Every hour I take a 15 minute break next to a highway, there's a path to a highway overpass directly where I park and on the other side of the highway is a pier with all kinds of rare Water spawns (pic related)
>Dratini tends to spawn there once or twice and hour as well, close enough to appear on my radar too so I can dash across the highway once or twice a shift when the stars align, catch the Dratini, then go back to work

>Random spawns in very unusual places accounted for 12-15 candies

Never even hatched a single Dratini out of a 10k and that's how I got my Dragonite. The Dratini I ended up evolving was 15/11/15 at 605 CP or something, couldn't believe it. High CP and 91% IVs.

you just answered your own question. it' only shits on Tangela.

I bought a raspberry Pi for class today, currently know fucking nothing about coding besides some basics, but:

When I get it and it's Unix OS set up can I use it to run the python scanning script?

>>28388315
It's a fucking whole computer man, just a bit smaller with shitty specs; you can even run a bot from it, if you want to.

>>28388315

Yes of course, python script is basic as fuck

>>28388366
I figured that much but mostly I was wondering if anyone had ever done such a thing and knew more about the specifics of using python on-

>>28388384
Thanks broheim.

>Perfect Snorlax

>More or less perfect Lapras (Frost Breath/Blizz instead of Ice Shard)
>Perfect Poliwrath
>Perfect Wigglytuff

Ain't no one getting past my gyms.

Also anyone feel like Wing Attack/Flamethrower Charizard works as a better defender? Attacking Water types get hit for neutral every time. Hits basically everything Ember does besides the random Electric type.

So Pokemon Go Plus rolls out a week from today. Anyone think the next update will come the same day?
