Catch that specific monster.
For example - a pidgy gets you 3 pidgy candy and you need 12 to evolve one. So you need to catch 4 to evolve 1.
These are the easiest, others take a lot more - magicarp need 400!

You can also get one candy for each that you transfer to the professor. To transfer, open the pokemon and scroll down until you see the transfer button. You only really need one or two of each type

The update over the weekend changed this, there's now a submenu in a button on the bottom right which you press to get to transer and favourite so depending when you've installed it might be done this way.

I just updated mine. It's all still there. Phew.

The strong rare ones I caught. As for the others I evolved them. It's worth holding off evolving anything more than "very common" until you get to minimum L15, they higher level you get the stronger you can catch. So if you get a high CP Mon without an evolution, his CP will double or even triple on evolving.

I think the tracking was responsible for their massive server problems to begin with. I suppose they're taking it out completely until they can ensure it works without crashing the entire app every time kids get out of school.

It's pointless without a tracker. Spent 10 minutes today sprinting in circles chasing a shadow before it despawned.
Pokevision and other 3rd party apps have been blocked too (servers - apparently).
They want to roll out the game globally but have no server capacity. So they made the game shit.
Not to mention people with mobility issues who now have no fucking chance.
*slow handclap*
Then again, when I played ingress Niantic were just as shit so it doesn't surprise me.
Shame really.

How is it pointless? Just wander round and see what you find, seems to work fine

With the update: 4 pokeballs to catch a CP10 pidgey and you were "lucky" enough to bump into.
Great if you live in London or New York and are a fully able bodied adult.
Not so great if you live in small towns and/or are disabled and/or a kid and don't have 3 hours to spend to come back with yet more pidgeys.
All the original Pokemon games had routes where something would definatley pop up. Running around 10 minutes on a gameboy map isn't any effor and you cover big distances. Not so true IRL.
Tracking is part of the game. That's what makes hunting and catching them fun - there's speed and skill involved. They might as well disable the broken tracker all together. You see a shadow, you try and find it. You can't. It despawns. So you get all pissed off at wasting your time and energy.
Disable the tracker it and then it becomes a game of chance. And nothing more.
That's how it's pointless.

I never once used the tracker before tbh, didn't see the point. Plenty of stuff pops up if you walk about. As for Pidgeys... They're the single most useful thing in the game. Fastest way to build XP as far as I can see.

I'm at level 19 but tend to be playing it with my 5 year old daughter. This makes almost every catch an exciting moment
Plus, as I've gone up levels more stuff just seems to appear. It's a rare outing where we don't get something new...

You need Pidgeys even more at higher levels! At lower levels you get XP just from all the new stuff.

you do but it's 50k to go from 20 to 21, and 75k for 21 to 22 so it starts to feel a bit pointless trying to chase levels now.

originally stuff had 1, 2 or 3 footprints depending on how far away it was so you could tell if you were walking towards something.
tommers
It was... Rebekah Vardy's account
By walking in a certain direction and then seeing if the footprints decreased? How close did you have to be? I never saw anything less than 3.
That seems a bit random to be honest. Life's too short.

I think it was <25m, <50m and <75m away depending how many footprints but can't remember. It died really quickly so was probably never working for you. Once they had no footprints they were close enough to actually trigger.
