What kind of CP should I hold out for to evolve squirtle? Maybe wait until I have 125 candies and pick the highest one then?

Do Pikachus and charmanders have a particular environment they spawn in? Never seen either yet.

I'd wait for a High CP & IV Squirtle, e.g. CP 600+ & IV 80%+, as it would mean you'd end up with an awesome Blastoise, without wasting too much stardust. This is, obviously, assuming you also end up with a Blastoise with the best moveset

Pokemon Go is under fire on Liveline right now for putting Pokestops at war memorials.

I did not know the memorial was there until I started playing.
I can see their point but I'm told it has been a portal in Ingress for years and nobody complained.....

Just discovered that my Jolteon has 100% IV. Gym destroyer

Congrats on the 100% Jolteon!

It should work really well against water types but I don't believe it'll be as strong as others based on its overall Attack rating...

How rare is Mr. Mime ? Just caught one !

Depends where you are I only caught one since last week, others seem to be catching multiples.

I must be crap.....lost 4 times in a row to a Hypno trying to train up a a gym. Hypno was 1350, my Vaporeon was 1605.
Had beaten it enough over the previous 20 mins so only needed 2 more victories but those 4 losses just broke me...had to walk away or my phone may have gotten throw at the ground!

Lol a Hypno was also causing me grief yesterday. It was the weakest pokemon in a Level 7 gym and I was trying to beat it with a weaker pokemon so that the gym would increase by 500+ prestige each time. It was like 950CP and I had various pokemon at the 900CP - 940CP range. Unfortunately none of them were it's match. Tried a Cloyster, a Jynx, a Magneton, a Persian and a Ratticate, but they all got pretty much destroyed. Came closest to beating it with the Ratticate since Bite is Super Effective against it but still came up short in the end.

It was draining my revives fast so in the end I had to give up and resort to Plan B. Which is to use one of my strongest pokemon and just beat as many pokemon in the gym as I could before it faints. This takes a lot longer and you get less prestige each time. It took me like 45 minutes to raise the gym to next level in the end (I needed 9,000 prestige iirc). Would have done it in half the time if it wasn't for that damn Hypno

hatched an ekans from a 5k and a chansey from a 10k, both new to me, up to 108 of 109 in the pokedex (fecking evolved weepinbell crashed my game)
its becoming a chore at this stage, might be starting to lose interest

level 22
where's it show how many you've ever caught

if you click into the little picture of your player on the home screen, you can scroll down and it tells you about things you've done in game

Level 25, 93 in the pokedex.
Have played about 90% of the time in Limerick, 2 days in Dublin and a week in Amsterdam.

211km walked
2,439 caught
3,129 pokestops visited

I've played the game totally legitimately since the start, no cheating, didn't even bother to download it early, pre release here, game is beginning to drag, getting a lot of crap egg luck. I've never seen a Bulbasaur or Charmander in the wild, nor an Ekans, sandshrew, doduo, vulpix, growlithe, abra, ponyta or Grimer as far as regular mons go. Have only ever seen two Ryhorns I think, 1 onix and 2 Geodudes, 2 voltorb.

Jynx and drowsea everywhere. Of the 2,439 caught 644 are psychic types, with a good 90% of them must be drowsea. I still try and catch everything if I can, simply to keep farming that exp and stardust, but it's not so fun when you can't find anything new, even when you mix up where you search for mons. Hope we get a decent update soon to breath a bit of new life in to the whole thing.
