I use weedles as exp bait for lucky eggs and have gone through maybe 20-30 Kakuna now. Still don't have enough caterpie bits to make a butterfree from this metapod.

If this is something they added in later pokemon generations that sucks, but as I currently only ever played the original 150, no I never had to spam anything, it was a somewhat thoughtful turn based strategy.

You save commons to evolve in batches when you have a lucky egg going to reap a ton of xp and power level. 1000 xp/evolve with lucky egg active.

Then combine it with a nice morning walk to a pokespot or if you're really lucky two side by side. Pop lucky egg, an attract module or two, some incense and start evolving and catching poo poo. With 5 minutes to go, break down the new finds and evolve them as well for maximum tryhard efficiency.

Someone near me found a Drowsee but it didn't show up for anyone else here who had the app open. Then I found a Poliwag and everyone could see it. The person who found the Drowsee wasn't using an Incense. Is this likely server wonkiness or are pokemon not really guaranteed to appear to everyone nearby? e: Someone's just seen a Pidgey and then a Ratata that no one else got. They're not using an Incense. avoid doorways fucked around with this message at 00:16 on Jul 11, 2016 |

bizwank posted:I've been playing a lot with my daughter and the only pokes that showed up for me and not for her was when I was a few levels ahead and they were harder ones to catch (yellow/orange circles); my theory based on that is that it can be level dependent. Also it could just be a bug. I'm higher level than the person who got the Drowsee.

YggiDee posted:Do we know when this is opening up in other countries, by which I mean Canada? I'm like two miles from the border so I feel like one of those kids with their face pressed against the storefront glass every time you jerks get stuff first. Apparently they're delaying the worldwide release to fix the servers. Considering just how hosed up they were for the first 3 days, it's probably a good call. If you really want to play, just download the apk if on Android or register a US account on iOS. I'm in Canada and the gyms near me are already up to CP1000 pokemon (while I'm barely breaking 400). A nearby university already has groups organizing lure module grinding, and there's packs of college kids throwing down lures near malls or night markets at 2AM. All for a game that's not even out in Canada yet.

bizwank posted:Ingress player for two years; "MU" (mind units) is a unit of measurement in that game which varies based on human density in an given area, data which was provided by Google (where Niantic got it's start). This game is built on the same platform and is using a lot of the same mechanics and locations, just dumbed down and cuted up. It stands to reason that spawn rate would scale to player density so that everyone gets a similar play experience. Anecdotally, a friend who's L20 has captured the bulk of his pokes (well over 500) sitting at home in a 100+ unit condo and hasn't spent a cent. I'm in a single-family neighborhood and see maybe 2-3 a day spawn naturally, if that. Is this data dynamic or is it just the density based on cell data 3 years ago?

Found a 200 CP Eevee today. Evolved it into a 448 Flareon. I also found a 300 CP Pikachu and failed to catch a Nidoking! The gently caress actually ran away after I had only thrown three balls, two of which he knocked down and one he broke out of.

I'm trying to walk around and catch pokemon and level up, but I will definitely never be able to compete with the people around here who constantly go dropping lures and capturing gyms in large groups. I really need to meet some blue team players around here or at least attempt to convince my friends to start playing this dumb game.

Okay, maybe I didn't actually lose all the stuff that got stuck on the closed ball screen. I looked at the Journal page and actually a bunch of them are showing in there that I thought I lost. Also I logged in and got a level up when it opened

I do wish they had a better leveling up/evolving system and made capturing their evolved forms much more rare. The original evolving through battle experience was great and much more fair in terms of the areas people have access to.
