I did it. My life is now complete. 1000 drowzee caught.

And obviously, it was a trash tier 306cp one.

Lv 20. I made it!

Going to travel next weekend, so it's a good time to reach it.

Damn, I'm slacking. Only 600 Magikarp caught.

That is a pretty absurd number of any pokemon to capture. Like, unless you did all your catching at the same place, Drowzee must be the most common pokemon everywhere you go.

Meanwhile, I am apparently an expert at avoiding Drowzee, the fifth or so most common pokemon in the WORLD. On my way to 142, Hypno was the third to last pokemon I got. And that was by catching a Hypno. I still don't have enough candy to evolve a Drowzee.

I think I've seen more Hypnos than you did Drowzees. I sometimes see upwards of 3 Hypnos per day.

Nothing very interesting was caught, though there were an awful lot of Gloom sightings for some reason. I also hatched three 5K eggs. I'm getting sick and tired of hatching Krabby, but two Poliwag was a nice surprise. Just 24 candies away from a Poliwrath!

I got 3 of these guys, no bubble and hydro pump yet, but I got bubble/submission and mud shot/hydro pump... the former is good for gym defense, latter for attack, bUT they are still outclassed by bubble and pump...fuck :/

At least he's not an XS. All my evolutions seem to be XS. I had another one just now. Same for my niece and brother as well. Are we doing something wrong when we evolve?

What level would you guys recommend evolving a Magikarp? I'm right at level 22 and the highest Magikarp I have is 134. I can easily catch more if I need to, I have two nests nearby.

I would recommend waiting to hatch a magikarp and getting good iv. magikarp from a nest have bad stats

It wouldn't matter at what trainer level you evolve your Pokemon because your Magikarp's level and IV will predetermine how how high it'll go, which is Magikarp's current level and much higher CP unless things have changed.

GPS Tracking still garbage today, But I saw a Ghastly, Snorlax and Voltorb and hatched a Tangela.

Voltorb caught after 3 bery+ultra
Ghastly ran on first berry+ultra
Snorlax despawned just as I saw it



Snorlax has spawned in the same area a few days in a row. So im guessing it's a spawn point. Anyone know how long for another to spawn after one despawns? This spot was pikachu last week.


Also I cannot for the life of me catch any Eevee over 500cp no matter what combo of Berry+Poke Ball I use they all run after the first attempt. At least im up to 50 candies through >100cp Eevees. ;c

Probably. I've seen four Drowzee in the wild (plus one hatch). That's tied with Pikachu and Grimer for my lowest among evolving pokemon. It's actually lower than my counts for Aerodactyl (5), Snorlax (7) and equal to the number of Dragonites I have (4). To be fair, I put in actual work to find and catch those, and by the time I thought I might have to for Drowzee, I caught Hypno instead.

I spent significant time catching in like ten different locations across five cities to catch 'em all, so it's not like I just stayed in the one or two places in the world that aren't infested with the silly things.
 
First day of classes in my final year of college. It's the first time I've really been downtown since Go came out and god dang all the lure and stops all over the city. Every direction i look around, stops as far as the eye can see. This must be what Mufasa was showing Simba

To be honest, IVs dont really matter much. Getting the correct move set is way more important. U lose like that, 5 or 6 HP at max? They had a nice thread on the Silph Road Reddit about it. It's fun for min-maxers to find a perfect IV mon though.
It's true that the correct moveset is more important. But nothing prevents Niantic from fixing the combat at a later time. They have done that with Ingress. So, I'd still focus on trying to get the highest IV with the correct moveset.

Went running today. Hatched a Poliwag, which gives me almost enough for another Poliwrath. And another Tangela, oddly less CP then the one I hatched when I was sub 20 lol.

In Pokemon Go news, a SECOND gay porn parody is cumming soon. Spoiler tagged image below is SFW but highly crude and also hilarious. Gotta f*** 'em all!

so, this one has Will Braun and Johnny Rapid. I never watched one of these parodies before, but that's a good way to convince me. lulz

Instead of waiting for someone to give it to you, why not use that time and create and donate an account? Assuming you are talking about nearby... It's only fair...
How does nearby work now? I've been out of the loop for a while now, will have to check again.
 
Saw there was a Dragonair in the park by my house on nearby and enough time to walk over and catch it, frickin' thing runs after one ultra ball =/

Not amused!

...hate me...
Last time I checked, nearby was not asking for PTC accounts anymore but rather just the old password again. I'm assuming that's in light of Niantic being busy deleting accounts used just to scan. Also it's not working so well because of that.
 
Imagine how people with a Twister Gyarados feels like after dumping 400 candies on a Magikarp. ��

This is why I decided to get almost 700 magikarp candies when I was in Seattle at a magikarp nest. I evolved my first one and got Tiwster. Oh well, I'm only 50 away from another one.

At least my second Poliwrath got Hydropump today after my first one got Ice Beam. I'm gonna keep both tho, the ice beam one will be a good defender.

Why did Niantic think it was a good idea to put nests on golf courses? We have Magicarp and Poliwag nests (both very rare here) on golf courses that don't allow you on them unless you're playing.
 
Could someone pls. link me to the chart with the attack defense moveset chart. Can't find it anymore. Thx

Edit: Level 22 btw. saved all my stardust, dont know which pokemon to evolve and if i should power them up. Still waiting for a 1000 cp +.
 
So apparently someone just discovered that you can swipe up during battle to bring up a menu to swap pokemon in the middle of a fight. I still haven't tried it yet but this does seem like a decent shakeup for battle strategy. What's more, apparently this has been a thing since the beginning. Typical Niantic.

I thought the thing that was new was the discovery that you can swipe up to get that menu, but it's always been accessible using a button in the bottom right, just above the run button.

Yea, I was wondering why people were so excited if it's just a maybe quicker way to swap?

Unless they mean when you are training a gym and the swap button isn't there?

If it's just the former, are people seriously that unobservant?

I think the general rule is that full bar charge attacks are good for attacking and half bar/ third bar charge attacks are good for defending
