My mom's town has nothing but 52000 gyms held by monsters, apparently hours away in CenCal it's nothing but cows and botters. Godspeed, cows.

Ok I've got a question - am I better using my candy to evolve lower tier mons while I have a lucky egg active or holding them off so I can get a second tier mon to evolve to a third tier mon?

I'm guessing starters will be 1km/candy as well since that's the 2km egg list. Walking 100+km to finally get a Charizard is going to take a while though.

There's no reason at all to evolve second tier trash (ie Pidgeotto, Metapod, Kakuna) once you've got the Pokedex entry. None of the third tier are worth poo poo for fighting with and only going 1st-2nd tier gives you 4x the XP for your candy.

Depends on if you want the third evolution for Pokédex completion or if its a poke you want for battling. If you don't need either of those then there's no reason to evolve to the third stage.

Generally it's for the dex entries. This is for things like Bellsprouts incidentally.

I lucky egg evolved all my uncommons, nidoran, oddish, bellsprout, gastly etc. and started to regret it around level 25. But at the same time, I'm still getting better and better evolution candidates and by the time I have the 125 candies, I may find something better. edit: some third tier are worth it. depends on the moveset, type, you might find something that's perfect for a certain situation. I make due with a 1200 parasect, but a vileplume or victreebel could be even better. nidoking with its ground moves can demolish fire types. gengar is unfortunate due to ghost weakness to psychic.

I caught a Primeape. It's a 80%+ one, with Low Kick and Cross Chop. It's also 25cp.

I just figured this out. Blue means something will spawn there soon, green means something just spawned, yellow means it's about halfway through its spawn time, orange means it's almost about to expire, grey means it'll be a while before something spawns there. vvv: actually it's the early 20s when you start having competitive pokemon.

Seems to me like I should have a Pidgey friend so that I can get a crap ton of pidgey candies to mass evolve them with lucky eggs since I'm only level 18 meaning nothing I catch or raise is worth a drat for another ten levels :O

Then I realized it's only one evolve every 12km. I think I'll do starters/pikachu/jiggly etc. and anything else that's legit rare in my area. edit: unless the candy amounts vary per pokemon type. it may be 2 candies per 1km, 3 candies per 2km, 5 candies per 3km, etc. could be 1, 1, 1. wouldn't make much sense considering how arbitrary the numbers are. why is pikachu 1 if he's supposed to be ultra rare?

Pikachu was the first pokemon you could ever have walk behind your character, in Pokemon Yellow, and he's iconic enough that they want you to get excited for buddying up with one.

I trained up a gym from level 7 to level 8. I got a error when I went to place my Lapras because some jackass plopped their vaporeon into the open slot in the 5 seconds since the fight had ended. Why is this a thing that can happen?

Have they said if the buddy system will work outside of SF?

Buddy system only works if you buy leashes that last 3 km. And in SF only obviously.

TVs Ian posted:Somebody said it creates a journal entry when it gives you candy, and the text includes a field for the number of candies. So it's probably more than 1, and may be a random amount. I saw on the internet that the candy has a RNG chance of appearing only good for weedles rather than the buddy you have with you. Also a RNG chance of it having pokerazors in them that will kill your buddy outright.

This is a great system that I'm sure every person who wants to catch pokémon will adopt. Who needs in-game tracking when you can catch pokémon with this one neat trick?

But at the same time, I'm still getting better and better evolution candidates and by the time I have the 125 candies, I may find something better. Basically, after mid 20s I'd definitely start making the switch to saving up. Poliwag, Nidoran female and to an lesser extent male, Oddish and Bellsprout all have pretty competitive evolutions. Of course, the 50 candy evolve staples (Arcanine, Exeggutor, slowbro, and sometimes clefable/wigglytuff)/Vaporeons are generally stronger than the common 100 candies so it's up to you if you think it's worth it to evolve the 3rd tiers as well/are satisfied with your gym team.

There was only one ghost move in all of Gen 1 that could actually apply weaknesses and resistances (Lick, with its 20 base power), but due to a coding error psychic types were instead immune to the attack. Holy poo poo that explains so many frustrating battles when I was younger. I just assumed I hosed up the weakness chart lol

Was it fixed in Gen 2? I picked it up recently and my Gastly is kicking all kinds of rear end (using Hypnosis + Lick, at the pace of a legless WW1 veteran).

So I just evolved my strongest eevee into a vaporeon, and holy crap is it bullshit how much stronger in pure CP it is than the other evolutions. Let's compare. CP600ish Eevee -> CP1450ish Flareon CP580ish Eevee -> CP950ish Jolteon CP650ish Eevee -> CP1639Vaporeon My joteon got screwed in comparison.
