This appraisal thing is some load of old rubbish. Superficial platitudes ahoy.

Wow, Polywhirl is impossible to hit now.

CP not updating properly when powering up.

Just tapped on a horsea and got a red Error message and it disappeared. Is this new?

Not 100% on this but i'm pretty sure there is an Onix in Santry Stadium or if not definitely the surrounding park at around 8:30am - 8:45am. Two mornings in a row now i've seen the shadow

No, happens to me regularly when moving from WiFi to 3G for example, or if I lose mobile data temporarily. Re-start the app and the pokemon should appear again.

Seen this description of the new appraisal system on Reddit...its pretty useless in fairness :pac:

Managed to check out one of the Pikachu spawns that was mentioned earlier in the thread over the weekend and got the last three I needed for a Raichu. Up to 126 seen and caught now (my wife is up to 130 or 131 though I think). People who regularly go for walks on Bull Island must be wondering what the deal is with all the extra visitors lately, every second person out there on Saturday seemed to be on a Pokemon hunt

*EDIT*
Actually, having done a bit of digging it seems that the appraise function is pretty good, once you know what all of the different phrases actually mean https://pokemongo.gamepress.gg/pokemon-appraisal

Most likely scenario is somebody from another team fought the gym but only lowered the level enough for 1 pokemon to be removed. Then someone from the same team as you came along, trained the gym and leveled it up again, then put his own pokemon in there. Therefore the other pokemon in the gym are the same and you think he just took your spot.

Thank you! That makes a lot more sense than my imaginary scenario. :L

So how many have people got in their pokedex now? I've 87 but 3 new ones ready to evolve.

I'm convinced that the best thing to spend coins on is incubators.

109 slow going at this stage

Definitely only guaranteed way to get anything rare or semi rare is from incubators + you get way more candies with hatched rather then wild caught mons

Where about was this Pikachu spawn location?

pickarooney · 24-08-2016 10:11AM

I think I've hit the wall at level 20. I've just about exhausted my town's supply so until I go to Paris or somewhere by the sea there's not left to do except hatch Nidorans

Nice range! I'm a higher level and have way less types.

If i had any. Also my desk is literally above a Pokestop so whenever i use a lure or an incense at my desk all i've ever got is a Pidgey or Rattata every 5 minutes or so! Absolute waste! Incense is great down on the beach though!

Hatched my first 10km egg in over 4 weeks today after working so hard to get it and it's a Pinsir! Not even a good Pinsir, only CP 1196, I've caught a higher CP one in the wild.

jamescd wrote: »

Yup, Pinsirs are definitely not what you want to see come out of a 10km egg alright. If I had hatched a 4th Pinsir in a row, I would've been raging

I've hatched about 6 10km eggs, no Pinsir. Haven't even seen one in the wild! Don't knock Pinsir's, I'd be delighted to get one!

Not sure if they're more common now or it's coincidence but me and the wife who are both level 22 haven't even seen one until yesterday. Then I caught 1 yesterday and she caught 2, both in completely different areas.

They have increased the spawn rates of the regional pokeon (Mr. Mime for us).

Its funny how subjective the game experience is. Some people are sick of Eevee's and Pinsirs.....other are crying out for them.

Looking at the Pokemon Go facebook page when they announced the update was funny...people alternating between complaining about the drop rate of pokestops, too many pokeballs or too many potions. Its all subjective

I, for one, would love a Pinsir as I've yet to even see one yet continue to see lots of Eevees. With that said, I love Eevees as I'm constantly evolving and powering mine up so the more the merrier I say!

I never see Evees' only in the sightings! Portmarnock is Pidgey and Rattata heaven unless you go down to the beach but then its mainly water type mon plus the randomers i always find at the carpark

jamescd · 24-08-2016 11:27AM

Speaking of Eevees, the renaming trick is completely broken for me now. It worked once in a while before, now it's not working at all.

Evolved 2 yesterday, but as someone mentioned on here before, I did them one at a time. Renamed 1 Eevee to Rainer and made sure no other Eevees have been renamed to Pyro/Rainer/Sparky in my bag. Restarted the app about 5 times just to be safe, evolved it, then boom a Jolteon pops out.

I thought sure let's try it again, maybe it'll work at least 1 out of every 2 tries. Renamed another Eevee to Rainer, again made sure no other Eevees in my bag are called Pyro/Sparky/Rainer. I already changed the nickname of the previous Jolteon from Rainer back to just Jolteon. Restarted the app multiple times, hit the evolve button, and what pops out? A Flareon. 2 attempts, 2 failures.

Wanted a Vaporeon, but got one of each that I didn't want instead. Lovely stuff :rolleyes:

Saw some spawn on bull island, but in the golf course.

JamboMac · 24-08-2016 11:46AM

The appraisal system is good in it will tell what a bad Pokemon is but deciphering between 70/80/90% iV is impossible.

Walter H Price · 24-08-2016 11:46AM

Does weight play anyroll at all in a pokemons ability ? all of my high CP mon's are on the small side apprently

I think I've been kinda lucky along the way a bit. A friend of mine is level 23 and has had 1 10k egg whereas I've had about 10+

Should reach 130 Pokémon by the weekend as there's a few evolutions that'll give me new ones

Don't cash out until you're in as many gyms as possible. I like to start with the more out of the way ones then finish in the popular ones before I hit the button.

So if I get in to a gym and get beaten and removed from the gym within seconds, that cash will still be there?!

24-08-2016 12:17PM

I'm blown away by its stats. Wow!
