What are all these % you talk about?

IV stands for Individual Values, which are hidden but can be calculated by inputting the visible stats for each individual Pokemon you own.

Essentially IV makes it so that every Pokemon is different, even when they are of the same species. This means a Pikachu with high IV numbers will be better than a Pikachu with low IV numbers.

The %s are essentially a percentage of maximum potential for each Pokemon. If one of your Pokemon has a 100% IV, then once it's fully powered up, then it will be the best it can possibly be. If you have a low IV percentage, then no matter how much you power it up, it can never be as good as a Pokemon with a high IV can be.

The IV calculator I use is Pokemon Go IV Calculator - Poke Assistant

That all seems like a lot of effort :hmm: :D
 
Things is, round here the stats basically mean fuck all. No matter how hard your monsters are, you'll last approx 10 mins in a gym. Go in, take it over, get a few coins, see someone else do the same shortly thereafter.

Unless I'm missing something here I don't see the point of worrying about the underlying figures.
 
If you end up powering them up it just means their HP for example, will be higher without needing to level up so much.

Saves dust, really.

Sometimes those last few HP is all that's needed to take something much harder than yours if you've matched them properly.

Like today I took down an eevee (799CP) and 2 magnamars (1000 and 1200) using a single CP1100 Slowbro. Water on fire plus good IVs.

Tactics innit.
 
I dont care if the stats dont mean much, I just like having a dream team :cool:

yeah I've noticed hatchings have pretty good IV's
 
I lasted 4 mins in a gym at work :D that's quite long. At any one time 3/4 gyms closest will be under attack.

Speaking of which, one just got taken over, is level 3, with 2 empty spaces. How does that work?
 
Cambodia has been pretty shit for pokemon. Lots of interesting new stuff about but not caught anything.:mad: sod all at my hotel.

Is that in a city centre? I'm in an outer suburb and the two gyms nearest me are held by Mystic all the time, except when Valour come around once very few days and gain them for a few hours until the Mystic peeps come home from school/work or wake up.
 
So if I take a gym, then someone else does, and I take it back do I not get anything? is that back to the count down timer thing?

also does anyone else have it crash all the time with gyms? just comes up error all the time.
 
I took an empty gym the other day. But I thought I had my guys arranged according to CP but I had them done alphabetically so instead of my hardest dude going in I put in a puny Abra. :mad:

Held it for a while though. :)

I went to a red gym today but it would only let me fight one at a time. Is that right when it's your team? I just got leathered.

The timer doesn't reset, once you've claimed your coins it is 21hrs until you can again, and you only get coins for gyms you hold at the time you claim them.

I've not had any problems with gyms, but I am getting crashes coming out of battery saver mode where it no longer responds to the touchscreen. Usually after it's been in my pocket so I suspect I am doing accidental presses through my pocket or something.

Yes, when you are training you only go with one of your pokemon against the whole gym.
 
When attacking your own gym to raise its prestige, you gain way more by using one with slightly less CP than the one you're up against. This means all those mid-range Pokemon you have can be quite useful.
 
was at a festival on the weekend and there was a stop at the venue (Baskerville Hall) :D
caught a few Eve's a Golduck, a Clefairy and a Zoltorb! :cool:
 
I have no idea how gyms work. I'd heard of sending your pokemon to the gym to train them, so I went to the gym at the end of my road. Clicked on it, and all that came up was one symbol in the corner, which made my pokemon fight against the ones in there. It lost because it was of a much lower level and now it's lost about 400 points. Tried it again just in case and the same happen.

I'm in the same team as the team in there, so what gives?
 
You are training if it's the same team.

You raise the gyms prestige by fighting your own team and beating an opponent.

The more opponents you beat the more prestige increases.

Eventually the increase in prestige will take the gym to the next level and you can add one of your Pokémon.

Fighting at opposing teams gyms you fight and win to decrease their prestige, take them down levels until they are kicked out and if you are quick you can take the gym once it goes grey and has no team.
 
Others might be trying to oust your team from the gym hence the lowering of the gym prestige.

If you train and lose nothing happens apart from one of your Pokémon being a bit battered.
 
How do you potion them up? I have tons of potions but when I click on my poor pidgeotto (yeah, I really didn't think it would win in a fight) nothing comes up.
