    That lucky egg + evolve thing is pretty good. Performed 50 evolves in 30 minutes to go from 14 to 17.

    Now to start stockpiling rats pidgeys and weedles all over again

    Also, for the lucky egg pidgey/weedle trick - how many evolutions were possible before you did it? I wanna do it soon but don't wanna waste it.

    Lucky egg lasts for 30 mins. You can easily evolve one every 30 secs, so to make the most out of it you should have at least 60 mons to evolve.

    You would have to cycle very slow - 15km/h is the rumoured cut off point

    Good news against the cheaters and hackers; apparently going by reddit, they've found a way to block all bots for the time being and are shadowbanning accounts. Maybe finally little script kiddies wont be hoarding gyms anymore.

    Am I one of the lucky ones who haven't been requested to update yet? :D :pac:
    Lucky you, happened to me right around when you posted this. I wouldn't say it was a request though. It's either you update or you can't play.

    Incense is a waste. Took me eight days to get the necessary coins because being in a small town but with active players I can only take one gym for a few minutes.
    Popped open the incense tonight while walking the dog.
    Noting but those little rats feckers and weedles and not too many of them either. Maybe 7 mons in the half hour. I can get that on some walks no bother.
    Bellsprout with a cp of 170ish was my best find.
    It's getting crap down the country. Was in 3 towns today with populations of 2000,6000 and 20000 and best I got was an 400cp oddish.
    Peeved.

    From looking at a calculator, a 140CP Magikarp will give me a Gyarados just over 1400CP. I could evolve a stronger Eevee than that anytime and that only costs 25 candies lol

    I've been grinding these Magikarps for weeks now. I'd want at least a 2000CP+ monstrosity, otherwise I'd be very annoyed. I better play it safe and look for a stronger one before evolving.

    I am closing in on 400 Magikarp Candies, highest I have is 135

    A guy in my town that has about 2-3 lvl 20+ accounts and keeps going around to gyms taking them over...very difficult to take down. Especially since he's mystic and my town is also predominantly mystic, so people keep levelling up the gyms and adding more in..

    He's cheating. Report his accounts.

    Battery saver still on my app, but still screws up my game.

    Android Screen Pinning is where it's at...

    Battery saver mode only freezes the UI when it rapidly turns the screen on and off, i.e. when the phone is in your hand by your side as you'd usually hold it and you're walking along swinging your hands up and down, up and down, screen on, screen off, screen on, screen off, UI FREEZE.

    Is that classified as cheating? Hmm, never knew that.

    Having two accounts isn't cheating, but having two accounts with over level twenty and lots of high CP mons is extremely fishy.

    Not saying I'm doubting you but how do you know it's the same guy?

    One of the lads in my local town's Pokemon Go group confronted him about it, basically laughed it off and said something like "get over it". Have seen him a couple times myself taking on gyms and dropping 2 Pokemon with different accounts on it.

    Looks like my time in the Pokemon filled world is at an end.

    I used one of the 0.29 apk versions of the game so i could play on my Galaxy S4 and now it's requesting me to update but the phone isn't able to run so therefore download the update :(:(

    Anyone any ideas about this, bar buying a better phone.

    There is a site to gather all your pokemon stats, what ones you have, what IV they are, CP etc. You can add friends and compare. Here is an example of my card you can share as well:
