Basic pokeballs are for garbage mon, regardless of their CP. I'll try and catch a 1000 CP tauros with a pokeball, because when a rare poke comes around I want to have enough great and ultra balls to catch those fuckers on the first try. I've had way to many pokes run away from me because I thought I could land them with a basic, even when their CP was low.

I heard a reviewer say "isn't it refreshing how this game doesn't hold your hand and you have to figure things out yourself or talk to other people about it, just like in the olden days?" But the reality of that is that nothing is ever settled and people never stop unknowingly spreading false information.

Holy poo poo the XP grind is real once you get into the late twenties. 250,000 XP to go from 27 to 28. Considering I have a little over 1.1 million XP total, that's nearly a quarter of my total XP to go up 1 level. Going to take me like 2 weeks to go up 1 level even with Lucky eggs.

Broseph Brostar posted:The Arcanine is 1762, and the Pidgeot is 1625 so the Arcanine has a little over a 100 more CP. What that means is the Arcanine is actually a much lower level since he would be well into the 2000s if he was powered up. Charitably, I could surmise that your Pidgeot is level 32 with IVs of 7-0-0, and that your Arcanine is level 22 with IVs of 2-12-15. Your Pidgeot would then have 123 HP compared to your Arcanine's 122. Your Pidgeot's level-adjusted Defense would be 123 compared to your Arcanine's 120. Your Pidgeot's level-adjusted attack would be only 132 compared to Arcanine's 145, but the base-DPS on a wing-attack/hurricane routine is 17.6 compared to the 14.9 for an Arcanine with Fire Fang, meaning the dog only has about 93% the offensive power of the bird. So this Arcanine you have, in return for winning you less prestige when you train at friendly gyms, is worse than your Pidgeot in each metric, and you are either a moron or have an actual, literal physical disability preventing you from proficiently playing this repetitive tapping game for children.

When I said "charitably," I meant charitably to your point of view. If I selected different IV sets, it would have been better for the Pidgeot and worse for the Arcanine. The dog might have closed the gap on attack, but come out with, like, 20% less survivability. You want me to do the loving math?

Really, all they needed to do was to train it one more fight to bump it to the next level. It was literally a sliver away from doing just that. At first I thought they must have dumped the snorlax in by accident and then had nothing to train against it, but then I considered how close to the next level it was. Maybe there WAS a lower CP mon that recently got knocked out, leaving the gym just underneath the next level? Cartouche fucked around with this message at 21:44 on Sep 8, 2016 |

Don't tell us you can eyeball the difference. The colour does change when you change balls. This implies that razzberries, if they do affect catch%, could also modify the ring.

It's just awful to train against. Parasect and Pinsir with Bug-moves can do it, a Persian with Dark moves or a Raticate with Bite + Hyper Beam. But yeah, they need to be lower CP than the Hypno for the bonus prestige and you still have to deal with those awful animations when dodging.

But yeah, they need to be lower CP than the Hypno for the bonus prestige and you still have to deal with those awful animations when dodging. Man I've had some really bad encounters against hypnos. My parasects, scythers, etc. all have crap health, best movesets, and I still have to dodge everything to stand a chance (going like 1300 vs 1600) because psychic eats grass. And every grass man is a bug man pretty much. I've sent my pidgeot on them and tore them up with wing attack/hurricane, so he's basically my new gym hero. Vaporeon is my strongest but it has aqua tail, and water gun x3/dodge gets boring. I might get rid of my golbats and fearows and train up some more pidgeys, but the moveset roulette makes it kinda gash. Pidgeot is the bird god though. edit: ^^^ big fan of the way you think about IVs. I'm reconsidering what's trash and what's still usable in gyms. I have decent attackers but no dedicated defenders.

Grinding Hypno is the second worst thing ever (behind grinding Snorlax). Lately I've been just going Hypno v Hypno and relying on my dodging to win. It does take a while though and occasionally I end up running out of time. All I want is a ~1000CP Slowbro with Water Gun and it'll be much easier. e: the worst thing is how there are no Dark pokes which aren't Dark/Poison so basically useless against Psychic.

I'll usually leave a flareon, electabuzz, scyther, etc. Something that's not trash (has a decent moveset) but also not gonna wipe the floor with any other valor that wants to train with at least the first 'mon.

Rodenthar Drothman posted:Alternatively, maybe they trained it up so that it would be harder to knock their 'mon off? Training a gym up to nearly the next level isn't a bad idea - if you leave it with an empty slot sometimes it gets filled by a level 7 player's 200CP Raticate which is less than useless. Making sure someone has to win a fight before they can get the slot stops that from happening.
