This. I live in a pretty bare party of Colorado filled with Rock, fire, and electric types. When a water type shows up people run.

Just saw a Horsea, a squirtle and omanyte appear in the span of two minutes.

It's not rape unless I explicitly see it!
you can get multiple candies on buddy walks, even on 1km guys.


edit: and walking buddies does not give xp rewards, the magikarp was a hoax/probably hatched something.

edit2: the distance meter on your buddy is going to make it so much easier to track egg distance. it should also tell you when the 4 minute update occurs, and when its safe to turn around on your walking path.

Nest farming is still a thing, but it depends greatly on the availability of nests near you. I'm typing this from a Charmander Nest.

I'm guessing he meant the dratini nests back when the game first came out. There are no true dratini nests anymore which sucks, I missed out on it too.

I powered mine up (with that moveset) because I thought it would make a good defender, and it has like 1900CP now, but it sure gets kicked out of gyms a lot. Maybe that's just bad luck though.

It's just too easy to knock out anything with 6 attackers. I'm considering leaving half level/weak to common types in gyms to let people train easier, because people ignore level 4+ gyms for some reason. And don't say potions, pokecoins are serious and, uh, pikachu finds a way.

there are pokestops in center city that are just banners/displays from when Wizard World was at the convention center in 2014, so Go probably still thinks it's a Safeway.

Yeah the pokestops around here in NYC are often more of a time capsule. There's tons of them based on long gone graffiti pieces. They really don't seem to have expected the stops to stay relevant.

it really is ridiculous. I've come across probably a dozen pokestops described as "horse sculpture" that are just the normal rear end posts you see on any city sidewalk with horsehead cappers. thanks to the intrepid Ingress players for spamming so much nonsense that we trainers could benefit from it years later.

Are you guys just updating from the Play stores for Android?

Was at Westgate last night and there was anywhere from 3 to 6 lures going on at once. I caught close to 60 loving rats and pidgeys. But good times for stardust! Also was on Mill Ave today in Tempe, where a game was starting, so everywhere was maybe 10mph down all major streets. Every drat street had 2 or more stops. I want to hit there over winter break and lure the fucker up.

They probably just put it up for review. That will take a few days, and Apple typically doesn't review a lot of apps during the weekends, unless you request an expedited review (for a critical bug or stuff like that).

Updated on the APK, can confirm it works.

Also, on top of catching a Squirtle and Horsea earlier, tonight I caught a Wortortle, and hatched a Charmander and Tangela. Plus Magikarp got four more candies.

What a good day.

It's really obvious which towns in my area had dedicated Ingress players. The next town over is about half the size of my home town and is littered with stops like The Big Rock (a 2ft wide stone at the side of the road), Glass Building (a regular high street store) and The Old Tree (a tree).

While typing this my first ever Exeggcute just spawned. Time to download the APK and go walking with my new eggy buddy.

It seems like people are changing their mind about that in my neighborhood. Over the past few weeks there were more and more high level Mystic gyms and a few Instincts with 10 cp2000+ mons, but this weekend people have started taking them down. Was only holding 3 gyms this morning, while I had 11 last night and 7 the morning before... At least I have my Snorlax back!
