This game can get me to park a car and run around like an idiot sometimes. Just today, I did such and got a Rhydon, Rhyhorn, Diglett, and a Kabuto.

I also got a 2km egg.

Two things: Where's that rare chart thingy, and how do I understand this egg chart in the OP.

They're probably as rare as the starter Pokemon but I don't live by the sea or a big body of water, so it might be more common there.

I haven't been to the area I caught it in since I caught it, but I can check since said area was sort of a marina. Would it be better at night or day, y'reckon?

Do you know how many Pokemon I can catch in the time it takes to refill 78 stamina. A lot.

And now I'm debating on doing the Power Leveling with my current mons. On one end, it'll probably get me some better mons at 11 or so. But on the other, a chance I could catch or hatch the same mon.

Do I just suck it up due to having just 11 Pokeballs?

Tei posted:

The way the game is designed, 11 is nothing. But if you live in a place with not pokestops there very little you can do.

I'm not rural, thankfully. I could just walk to three pokestops and a gym so I'm good. Plus around work has four stops and a gym. And other driving shenanigans.

This means I should egg level, right.

No offense but you seem to be way too low of level to worry about checking IVs or finding suitable pokemon to fight with.

I mean you're welcome to play any way you want, but you'll just be wasting your resources by leveling anything that's sub 600CP. Your main focus should be leveling your character (which causes pokemon you find in the wild to be higher level as well) by catching every single pidgey and weedle you can find and then evolving them for xp farming.

Eh, you're probably right. Level 11 here, so yeah.

I wish you could send your owned pokemon out into the AR world. Or hell, then being able to interact with them like Pokemon-Amie would be fantastic and would probably go over super well with both the casual fans and the pokemaniacs.

Are they rare where you are or something? We're tripping over them in Manchester. I'd be really annoyed if I got one of those, like when I got a Drowzee out of a 5k egg.

It does feel more frustrating when eggs are now the only way I can expect to get any new pokemon.

For some reason living close to a beach gets me Sandshrews, maybe Krabbys too.

Which is odd, because you'd expect a place like SoCal to have Drowzees and Slowpokes BUT NO IT'S SANDSHREWS AND PARAS AND EKANS.

Also had two Pikachus close by this one PokeStop I always hit at work.

Honchkrow doesn't look bad but it's still a step down from Murkrow. Also they lowered it's speed stat when it evolved. They did that with multiple gen4 evolutions and it makes no sense.

It's like a fledgling witch bird morphing into a wiz-bird. But other than that, why does it have to be slower.
