    Went to the park before work. Completely empty. Picked up 100 pokeballs but only ten great balls and only saw two Pokemon total in twenty minutes. Stopped to get a croissant near with and found two new pokemons, machop and dodrio. Just missed a Tangela as well. Should hatch another 10km Eevie later.

    YES. The CP, HP and moveset will change when you evolve but yhe IV remain the same.
    IVs only matter if you are gym battling. 2 1850 CP Gryrados battling, the one with the better higher IVs will have a 10-15% better chance of winning.

    That's strange. My highest iv is a Gyrados but his moves are terrible. 6 for Twister and 25 for Dragon Breath

    i've just got to level 19

    i've only caught 538 pokemon
    Evolved 75
    Hatched 18
    Visited 408 pokestops
    Walked 38.34 km so far
    Gym Battles 13


    I'm way lower in all aspects to most from what i see yet i've still managed to get to level 19, all my Pokemon are still under 1000CP at the moment.

    906CP Dewgong is currently my highest :o

    I do have a Drowzee that should hit over 1000 when i have enough candees to evolve though.

    How is everyone getting such high Mon? Are you powering everything up? I usually just wait until i catch something with a high enough CP & IV to evolve

    I think it is down to your level but there's no doubt you'll be getting over 1k mons in while. Hold off on powering up drowzees! I have caught a heap of them and the higher level you go, the higher level they become. Save the candies!!

    No, that would never work.
    Easiest way to level up a gym is to pick the weakest ( and first) Pokemon in the gym and choose one of yours which has a lower CP but is a type that scores well against the defender.
    I.E. Electric against water, water against fire, etc.

    Then run away after beating the first guy, restore your guys health and pop in again. You will add 500+ points everytime.

    Opened a spot in a gym 2 days ago only to be sniped by someone walking past........:mad:
    Cheers, just read this now, but was at the gym yesterday and after a few fights I copped on to your method and levelled it up. Definitely the handiest way. I was low on potions, so it worked well. I was sniped a few days before on the same gym, very annoying! Definitely don't fight with the pokemon you want in the gym, the extra few seconds of having to power him back up to take the place in the gym is vital.

    Also, another annoying thing: You're on a bus and it stops at lights. You check out the nearest gym and notice a free spot. But the bus has moved off before you get a chance to take it.:mad:

    Are ye guys actually walking the distances stated? I have seen some videos of mongs driving while playing.

    It's a very interesting game from.the point of view of getting people out exercising, and since the game can be updated constantly they could really steer it in that direction.

    Mine is real, if anything mine is low, I find the distance thing does not really work on mine. The health tracker app says I've walked 7 km and Poke has recorded less than 4. :mad:

    I walk at lunch for an hour and often go for another stroll in the evening.
    I have on occasions cycled to tackles pokegyms.
    I don't drive and poke though.

    I don't think this is entirely true. After bowling or the gym I drive home with the missus and she sits there with the 2 phones.

    We almost always manage to hatch eggs along the way.

    Yup, have noticed the same thing, wonder if its going on distance traveled between gps spots & the time it took to get there, you might still get some credit for going faster than walking speed.

    It can be diffcult though for people like me who constantly transfer weaker pokemon. I'm constantly running out of storage space so I just transfer fully evolved pokemon that are less than 1,000CP. So most pokemon I have below 1,000CP are basically the 1st forms i.e. Charmanders, Squirtles, Pikachus, Dratinis, Growlithes, etc...

    Now if I see a gym owned by my team that has a 900CP Golduck in it, I'm pretty much screwed. The strongest electric pokemon I have that is under 900CP is a 512CP Pikachu. Even with the type advantage, Pikachu is still getting beat down.

    There was one gym a while ago that had the weakest pokemon of around 350CP. Only pokemon I had below that are Pidgeys and Rattatas. Needless to say I couldn't beat it with a weaker pokemon :o I had to pull out my Dragonite and level up the gym the harder way.

    Ok so Ive started hitting the gym near my job for the first time,

    I have taken it over yday and grabbed 10 coins and timer began counting down.

    1 hour later it, it was taken down.

    Today Ive reclaimed the same one before the counter at zero. What happens when it reaches zero?

    When the timer reaches zero, you can claim another 10 coins. That is if you still own the gym by that time. You can reclaim coins every 21 hours.

    Do I have to be at the gym to claim or just still be in control?

    No you just need to have a pokemon placed in the gym. You don't have to be anywhere near the gym to claim the coins.

    Pretty much the same as me. Level 18 and nothing over 1000 with about 500 caught. I've walked 120km though.

    When you have a pokemon in a gym(s) go to the Shop. There is a shield icon in top right corner with the number of pokemon you have in a gym. Tap this to claim your reward.
    It will give you the reward and number will change to a countdown to the next time you can claim it.

    Go to the shop and look at the top right corner. You will see a little shield icon. Tap on that to claim your coins.

    Place a Pokemon in a gym and go to the shop. In the top right of the screen you'll see a shield icon with a number in it. This is the number of your Pokemons currently holding a place in a gym. Press the shield button to cash out 500 Stardust and 10 Pokecoins per placed Pokemon.

    Easy money.
