yep it was working great for me too until yesterday when an app update got pushed out to me, no way to continue playing without updating and my phone does not support the update. I've tried uninstalling the game and reinstalling using the .apk i used originally but now that .apk cannot even be parsed by my phone.

disaster

If you end u buying a phone e for it the huawei y 5 does a good job on the game and is cheap enough.

Just used pidgey calc - I can evolve 5 rattata, 1 poliwag, 6 pidgeys, 5 weedles and 2 drowzees gaining 20,000 XP. Looks like I'm best to keep hunting them damn pidgeys rattatas and weedles.

When I used my egg to go from 14 to 17 I took notes with pen and paper (shock) and upgraded ::

5 Caterpie
1 Drowzee
2 Eevee
22 Pidgey
11 Rattata
15 Weedle

56 evolves, took about 33 minutes for my slow phone. So a couple were outside the timer of the egg, but still. it worked out pretty well

However, with the bounce out rates having gone up on all pokemon, the next egg might be spent on significantly less upgrades

looks like everyone are using their first egg on that level.
Same happened to me jumped from 14-17 for mostly Pidgeys, Rattata, Weedles and Drowzees

I work for a phone co mpany which is the saddest part so i got the s4 for free. I had an s6 until a couple of weeks ago but it was stolen on holidays and i've year left on my contract ugh...

i actually found a site that has a hacked version of the apk that will still run on any phone running older versions of android (4.0+) so if anyone else is stuck take a look here. I am back in the game :cool::)

CSWS101 · 05-08-2016 10:50AM

One thing that's annoyed me - I caught a level 115 pidgey and then minutes later got a level 15 Pigeotto... Where's the consistency

Sorry to hear about the s6. Scumbags.

Great to hear a fallen comrade was saved ☺

Have to say, I'm struggling to see the point of Gyms at the moment. Live in Sandyford, Dublin and work in town so there are plenty around but have been tracking them for the last week or so and NONE of them are being held for longer than a few hours at a time. Given it takes 21 hours to be rewarded for anything and the battles are pretty much just tap fests, it just seems pointless.

Am I missing something??

Plus you get 500 stardust per gym as well so might be handy to evolve some mons, hoping my 2k egg has a pikachu or something keep getting weedles.

Yeah, didnt realise you could claim straight away, thought you needed to wait for 21 hours. makes a lot more sense now!

Yeah you can claim straight away the 1st time, but the next time you claim you have to wait 21 hours.

So it doesn't really matter if you don't hold the gym for long at all. If you still have the gym after 21 hours, then handy enough. But if you don't, then just retake it and claim the coins again. After 21 hours, rinse and repeat.

Anxiety used tremble... its super effective.

Chevron used willpower ... willpower slowly chips away at anxiety.

Thanks to Niantec Im now battling my own demons aswell as pokemon.

Finally heading to town to try catch some new ones.
Haven't been in town in years.

Don't fail me now willpower.

I really think there is an issue with "botting" going on. All these Gyms are within view on the screen from where I was standing, and even though there would be a good few minutes walk between each one they were taken over within the space of a minute by people with the same name with almost identical Pokémon and levels. I mean who here is L31 with multiple 2k+ Dragonites?? From the Gyms I could actually see there were no people at them.

Album link with more pics.

Am I just imagining things here?

There's a thread on the Pogo subreddit where people have done the maths and worked out that it's basically impossible for anyone to be level 34+ already without having cheated.

these are 100% bots. I live beside these gyms and this is the first I have ever seen of these names. I know I can't see them all but I would remember a couple as they change regularly. I don't see anyone beating these anytime soon.

I take the Luas into town daily, and as I pass by St. James and turn right toward the city, there's a gym somewhere off to the left in Old Kilmainham that was held by one of the guys from the pictures there. Same pokemon holding it - don't remember the CP though.

maximoose · 05-08-2016 02:10PM

On the corner at St Patricks hospital yep, have seen that dragonite there a couple of times.

JamboMac · 05-08-2016 02:18PM

Hatched my egg and got a fuc€/?! Pidgey, not even good I.v. Yes loads of people cheating but this will happen in every game and eventually catch up with them.

NegativeCreep · 05-08-2016 02:36PM

There's a few in castleknock cheating with snorlax and dragonite too

Choose your Pokemon carefully, I took a gym with a 2000+ Dragonite last night, like these, the gyms themselves were low level, so I was able to throw multiple pokemon at the Dragonite (a 700CP Jinx, did serious damage).

Ice is super effective against Dragonite.

SpaceCowb0y · 05-08-2016 02:58PM

Another hatched egg.... drumroll please... another farking weedle! :rolleyes:

So is it worthwhile reporting these "players" or is it just sending liquid against the very direction the wind is blowing?

I normally don't go into Dublin city centre, but got a bus into town. Fúcking hell, anyone who works in town and has a bus along the quays must be on a high level. Loads of pokestops and just pokemon after pokemon. I was between 2 lures before and that was nothing compared to the bus route along the quays. I missed so many stops I was actually hoping for bad traffic. Got a few km on my eggs too.

Rsaeire · 05-08-2016 03:44PM

Yeah, town is really the place you should go if you want to build up your pokeballs and try catch some water Pokemon. I've been there a few times and it's always been really good for hard to catch Pokemon, given I live nowhere near a Pokestop and, like most others here, continue to attract Rattatas, Weedles and Pidgeys. Thank God I've a use for them all when I use my lucky egg and pidgeycalc as otherwise I might just quite playing!

jamescd · 05-08-2016 03:49PM

I had close enough to 60 pokes to evolve so went ahead and popped a lucky egg and did the evolutions. A good 70% of those are your usual Pidgeys, Weedles and Rattatas for the XP.

But I did have a couple of first time evolutions for the Pokedex. Finally had enough candies to evolve a Meowth into a Persian, Shelder into a Cloyster, Seel into Dewgong, Venonat into Venomoth, Cubone into Marowak, Mankey into Primeape, Machoke into Machamp and Slowpoke into Slowbro. Slowbro is the strongest at over 1600CP.

Also have way over the amount of candies needed for a Gengar, but my strongest Gastly is only 400CP. I'm hoping to find a stronger one so I decided against evolving it.

Got more than 60k XP and several new entries on the Pokedex. Not a bad day of Pokemon Go so far at all

chevron · 05-08-2016 04:24PM

First time in town and wow. Some serious amount of pokestops.

Walked through tepees green and Merrion square caught myself a few new pokemon.

And my highest wild catch at 991 cp magma. He is now my strongest Mon at almost 1100 after upgrades.

A school of carps
A herd of drowsee

A new jynX
A new fearow from evolving

And rakeep of others
Even had full bag twice after deleting loads of revives.

Well worth the anguish and the trip.

Saw a level 8 gym today, all bot users...snorlaxes, dragonites over 3000CP

Seen a level 10 before, think it was in the City Centre. Not sure if they were botters though. Dragonite was the strongest as well

i think one of the worst is phoenix park all blue and even the ones in the zoo taken over during the night i don't know whether a load of keepers are player, but surely can't get close enough to them gyms at night.

Those botters I linked the pics of in my post, they had the Phoenix Park gym at level 7, I had never seen it this high before. :mad:

How do the bot users work? i dont understand how you can be a bot user?

It's a program that is designed to play for you and accumulate more xp and stardust then humanly possible and can ping servers for the best possible monsters. They may then log in and take gyms via there phone or bots can possibly do this.
