Where do you live where they spawn so frequently, that is Promise Land territory

Northern Cali. I've also hatched a lot of eggs, so probably at least half the candies are from eggs.

Also, it's definitely a multi-color LED.

Good. That makes things easier. We can pick then when the button fires. What do the colors mean for the plus?

A nearby level 6 gym has the following gym owners:

- Bokemongo33, level 26
- Bokemonthaison, level 25
- Charmastergogo, level 31
- Bokechargo, level 27

Either that or it's a family. My co-worker has her four kids hooked on the game and they take gyms together. i know she logs into their G+ accounts to catch/take gyms as well.

Long green flash - Pokemon found
Yellow flashes - Uncaught Pokemon found
Long blue flash - Pokestop in range
blue flashes - waiting for connection
White flash - when catching/0 items from Pokestop error
Red flashes - Pokemon fled/generic error/got out of Pokestop range
Rainbow flashing sequence - caught Pokemon/got items from Pokestop

So normally it would just have to push the button if it sees green, yellow, or blue. But those will also show up as part of the rainbow. It wouldn't hurt it to hit the button during that as far as I know, though.

I've had it less than a week (because it's been out less than a week) but had it on during work and all driving around and whatever I did out on the weekend and it's still kicking. If it's still kicking tomorrow that will make a week.

Also it's not really that the motor is strong so much as the Plus weighs like nothing so it can just thrash the thing around unimpeded

"Hatched"

gropemotron
Feb 20, 2011

Another dimension, new galaxy
I just hit level 20 and caught my first pokemon that had a CP above 1000. 64% though. :negative:



So how do eggs work past level 20? Are they supposed to hatch level 20 guys always now? I hatched what I thought were my level 20 eggs, in that they were the last ones on the egg page, but I keep getting level 17 or 18, I only got 1 egg that was level 20. So maybe I'm hatching eggs I got earlier by accident? I keep noticing it re-arranges my eggs whenever I put one in an incubator.

I got a 10k egg at level 18 and now I keep putting off hatching it since a level 20 egg is probably still going to be better.

It's not rape unless I explicitly see it!
Eggs are supposedly determined when you pick them up. This is supported by people hatching eggs with old movesets post-change, but it may just mean that a pool of pokemon is determined upon pickup, and can still be random upon hatching.

What this means for you is that you may find a range of level 10-20 pokemon until you start picking up eggs at level 20 and beyond. I think I remember the same thing happening with me, but you just have to cycle the old eggs out.

In other speculation, I notice I get the same sorts of pokemon out of eggs and I only play in one place for the most part, between 10-20 different stops. I got my first egg from a pokestop I usually ignore and it was a 10k, which turned out to be my first snorlax. I went back again but I got a 5k and have no way of knowing what it will be. I'm in the camp of biomes as far as egg prediction goes.

edit: I haven't noticed anything with a dust cost below 2500.

It probably was just eggs from earlier levels. But from what I've read here, I think they can still be under 20 even if the stop gave you one while you were 20+. I think it's just that they can be up to 20 now.

edit: better info above, I guess.

7 away from a 142 Pokédex. Just need Charmeleon, Charizard, Primeape, Alakazam, Muk, Dragonair, and Dragonite. It's been a grind. Haven't seen a single Charmander in the wild, hatched 2, sitting on 24 candies. I think that will be the hardest to finish.

Basically, fight a Wigglytuff or Clefable with Dazzling Gleam.

Despite there being two million clefairy here a day, almost none of them have good IVs so nobody pumps them up. Also, we get about 2-3 snorlax and dragonite a day, so nobody is putting wigglytuff in gyms.

Most gyms look like this: snorlax, snorlax, dragonite, with sometimes an exeggutor thrown in for laughs.

They never last more than 30 minutes.


So the only way for me to test it is to train them up myself and put them in the gym, and before the gym is destroyed train against them both.

I couldn't believe it was wrecking so much harder than my clefable, when the clefable has higher attack, the same quick move, and like 200 higher cp. Wigglytuff are my favorite mon for training now, because it can wreck both snorlax and dragonite while having a tiny cp itself. Trains up a gym real quick.

When you say "higher attack" and "higher CP" you're kinda double-counting its virtues. Either way, that 25% attack bonus Wiggly gets from being a Normal type can't easily be beat.

I suppose I am since CP is mostly attack, but there is defense and stuff too.

What is this about a bonus from being a normal type? I thought normal didn't get STAB?

A Snorlax's sole purpose is to be the best deterrence against people considering fighting your gym. Any other Pokemon is like, I can take them down with the right types or using my strongest ones. But with Snorlax it's like "There is no viable fighting type Pokemon so this will be a guaranteed 60 second slugfest of boredom for one round."

I'm at 118 pokedex but I have 6 of your 7 missing mons. Only one of those I don't have is Muk. Always catches me off guard how different things are 'rare' in different areas.

Come to my house I have a Charmander nest like 200 yards away :v:

Nests still have their own IVs I think, though a few people were saying their local nests were yielding high IVs now too.

Nests also moved/migrated, if you guys didn't notice. My park no longer has pinsirs. It now has zubats again. Whoopee.

No word yet on when they're adding new stuff. The Pokedex IV bug has (probably) been fixed but that's not exactly something new.

This is just an unsubstantiated guess but I'd be surprised if we didn't have at least an announcement of some substantial new content (like trading or a new gen of Pokemon) by the end of the year.
