Pokemon Go

[trashpony]

We went on a really long walk in the woods today. For some reason I had no signal at all so no eggs hatched

 

[BigTom]

This game has inspired me to get some awesome accessories. First I have the battery charger. Tomorrow I am getting a bicycle. I am very excited about this

Like Hegley said, get a handlebar mount, cycling is great for pokemon go but you don't want the phone in a hand - if you turn off the AR then you can keep the phone on the handlebars to catch pokemon.

How are people getting 2000cp or more? I'm now level 23 and my highest is only 1300 or so

These are mine, I'm level 24



They are all evolved Pokemon which I've caught the unevolved form post level 20, except the electrabuzz which was hatched. I've then powered some of them up*, I think the gyarados was 1700 and the rainer vaporeon 1600. The gyarados is at the level maximum so can't get to 2k until I level up again. (This is what the white semi circle bar above the Pokemon shows).

So level 25 or hatched from eggs I reckon to get 2k+

*Gyarados, Rainer, Slowbro, Starmie, Gengar, Vileplume have definitely been powered up. The hypnos definitely haven't. Not sure about others. The ones that have numbers after their name, that's the CP of the unevolved form where I've remembered to edit their names.

I played in Monton a few times and that was pretty good. Nothing rare but lots of pokestops and gyms, half price pizza on Mondays there and a pub which you can hit two pokestops from. Lol.

I live in Hulme and round there has been pretty good but the best place by far I've found so far is Piccadilly gardens. There's 20/30 pokestops in a five minute radius and a good spot on the gardens where there is 3 very close together that always have lures on. There is 3 or 4 pokemon there constantly and as soon as you have caught one another appears. It's mad.

I have been twice and managed to catch rarer stuff both times and Ive seen a few I couldn't catch as well. Got a good tentacruel, a 1300 slowbro, a magneton, a vapereon and a squirtle. A snorlax has appeared as well but he is one of The ones I didn't manage to catch.

We've been walking down the golf course into Monton then back up the railway line. We usually go to the canal to feed the ducks with the kids first. There's loads of pokéstops by the church and the lighthouse is one too

Not caught anything good though

We are level 19 now. I'm taking the foal and his friend to a park today which apparently has about 5 pokestops in it (it's on our 10 in a row route but I'm always driving so can't look). They will be playing and I suppose I'll read a book or something

We're going to Belgium on holiday next week and so hoping to catch some exciting foreign pokemon!

am going hozzy today, so hoping to catch some medically ill pokemon.

mine keeps crashing half way thought fights at gyms, and then says GPS gone and too far away from gym.

really fucking me off as I still lose the health on them and have to revive them, I have wifi off and some times it's fine but just now happened 3 times in a row on the last fight!

 

[scifisam]

The only thing that annoys me is how frequently a pokemon will disappear in a puff of smoke after I've used about eight balls on it. It's about one in three pokemon for me.

Bloke we were staying with this week said he'd considered getting Pokemon Go, then remembered he was going to be thirty next year. Isn't that an odd thing to say to someone who's forty and has just mentioned playing Pokemon Go?

 

[trashpony]

IME scifisam, it's when you're a younger adult that you're worried about being grown up. Maybe he thinks you're playing it in support of J?

The park had TWELVE pokestops in it! But shit pokemon. Despite putting on lures, there were only pidgeys, rattattas and a couple of drowzees. Total swizz

 

[scifisam]

Yeah, I think you're right - he's just bought a house and is quite invested in being a grown up (and he is lovely) but it's still an odd thing to say to me!

I'm off to be driven to the chemist. Am hoping for heavy traffic B-)

Everything I've hatched lately has been rubbish.

 

[pengaleng]

if it makes you feel any better I evolved my 91% gengar and it has the shittest moveset

 

[Fingers]

So I have hatched an eviee at 390 so. I know have enough to evolve. What do I do?

You need to name it either pyro if you want it to be flareon, rainer if you want it to be vaporeon and there's another one but the 9 year old doesn't like that one so can't remember.

Then force quit, reopen the app and evolve it. It should turn into your desired thing.

 

[Saffy]

Sparky if you want a Jolteon.

That's well cool. they are ace for taking gyms as well because they are really effective against snorlaxs and gyrados.

Which iv calculator are you using because the one I'm using doesn't give as accurate results as that?

 

[pengaleng]

pokeassistant

sometimes it'll give you a wide range, sometimes it'll come back straight away with all three outcomes equal

 

[Grace Johnson]

Thanks

Need to be capitalised as well iirc - Pyro, Rainer, Sparky.
