Pokemon go

For anybody who is disappointed about the moveset learned by their Pokemon like a Submission Poliwrath or a Flash Cannon Blastoise here's another list that shows these as very good defenders! I think nobody truly understands the battle system and most of these rankings are based off a lot of assumptions or idealised scenarios so that Pokemon you may have thought was poor could turn out to be very useful.

It's annoying when you see the outline of something new on the radar and when you eventually find it, it's something you're about to evolve in your next magic egg session. Takes willpower to leave it

I just catch them anyway. Really you're only losing out on 400XP, which is tiny in the grand scheme of things.

Currently in lanzarote and the place is full of rock type pokies caught a mountain of geo dudes 2 x gravelers and have nearly enough candys to evolve graveler.

Also caught 2 onix seen a Arcinine but after 10 balls he ran away.

Plenty of growlite aswell so nearly have enough candy to evolve one.

Sandshrew pinsir and mankys in plenty of supply.

Caught 2 charmanders also
makes a change from rats pigeons and weedles id been getting back home.

Only downside there is very few about a total of 10 pokestops along a 2k radius at the seafront and they like to give you potions rather than balls so am constantly out off balls.
Had to fork out and buy 100 balls.

I wouldnt be trying very hard to find these either they all pop up at our apartment or while walking down the strip.

I've hatched a few Pikas and Karps but never with more than 6 candy. Have I been unlucky or is this normal that 2k eggs give low candy?

Below is the candy range per egg type found here.

2 km eggs: 5 to 15 candy
5 km eggs: 10 to 21 candy
10 km eggs: 16 to 32 candy

Botanic gardens in glasnevin is good for geodudes.

beakerjoe · 02-09-2016 01:01PM

Ive never got anything good from a 2km egg. Always the same guys, Pidgey, Weedle, Caterpie...... never anything else. Why bother with them?

Mollyb60 · 02-09-2016 01:05PM

Walked into a pole today trying to catch a Voltorb.

Caught the bugger tho so it's not that bad.

Very generous spawning at lunchtime. Picked up machop, Ponyta, two mimes together, sandshrew, rhyhorn and a few Eevies. Had a few Eevies and a bulbasaur run and there was a load of koffings and venonats which I don't bother with.

Hatched a Jynx as well which was new for me. 1000CP.

I've run out of raspberries at this stage. Sorry I dumped a load to make room for normal balls.

Ive never got a bag upgrade. I tend to have 30 razzers on me at all times and around 35 revives and 40 hyper potions. The rest is all balls.

pickarooney · 02-09-2016 01:24PM

I do a ball hunt about once or twice a week for an hour at a time and they last me the week as there's no stops near my work. With 220 balls and a minimum of potions I should still have enough raspberries but I have to keep feeding the scarpering mons. I'm not convinced it makes a huge difference though. Countless times I've had stuff escape from raspberries and ultras only to catch them with one normal ball.

charlietheminxx · 02-09-2016 02:28PM

It's really starting to bother me that distance isn't clocked properly on my eggs. Went for a 20 minute walk this morning, got the "you're going too fast!" message at the start when the gps was loading and it didn't clock distance at all on either of the eggs I have on the go.

I'm 29 btw, my boyfriend doesn't get my obsession but most of my friends are playing too.

pickarooney · 02-09-2016 02:37PM

I'm one catch away from the 125 candies needed to evolve a polywrath and guess who shows up on the radar...

I can't even go outside and get him

Edit: the answer is two Polywags and a Polywrath

FaceCake · 02-09-2016 02:56PM

Caught a Dragonair last night. Glad to see something new at last. And that's one annoying dex hole filled. I'm sure the candies will come in handy too of if I ever want to become one of these lads I see with a fat dragonite sitting on every gym on sight.

Funny you mention that. I was just thinking today that I haven't seen a Dragonite on a gym in ages. I guess every single one I saw previously was due to botting after all. Also, very few people in gyms are over lv25 any more too.

tommyhayes1989 · 02-09-2016 03:52PM

I've been using the PokeAssistant website. Is the figure in bold your Pokemon's %? I ask because I moved the slider the check the evolve and my guy ended up about 200CP less than what it said on the website

AMGer · 02-09-2016 05:33PM

6 weeks of playing the game and finally had my first Pikachu spawn for me today! (I have had a few from eggs alright)

The evolve calculator gives the range of CP results.....it isnt an exact figure. Notice the 2 figures to the left and right of the figure in bold? they are the lower and upper ranges, the bold is the average evolve result.

went for a walk today, from grand canal, walked up the canal as far as where it almost joins Camden street, down to hueston and back up along the quays to O'Connell street, and I didn't catch anything exciting, usual psyduck, polywag, carp, rats, fecking rats, pidgey.etcetcetc verbatim
saw one growlithe in my nearby, but that was it, absolutely nothing else, not to mention that I hatched 4, 2k eggs, all fecking rats
one five k hatched into a sandshrew....one candy away from an evolve!
today was hands down the worst day ive had for the distance I walked not one decent pokemon showed up.
I have a ten k egg about a k away from hatching, think that will determine whether I continue playing this game or not

Level 24, Team Valor

I used 6 ultraballs on a Squirtle, It burst out of them all. I through 1 regular pokeball and caught it first time.

They say in a city, you're never more than a few feet from a rat:D Unlucky man.

I started with a Pikachu and didn't see another one untill I hatched one from a 2k egg just last week. They are very rare, I have never even seen one in the wild

Squirtle is a bollix. I don't throw anything other than a normal ball at him now and it's a 50/50 catch either way.

95 in my Dex now and am struggling to see where the next one are going to come from. Depending on some rare spawns for candy or getting lucky with eggs.

I have 2 Dragonair but a have a Dratini who's just as high on CP so It would probably make more sense to wait for 125 candies and evolve the dratini twice
both options are a long way off

I love Polywrath. Just 3 of those bubble attacks builds up a pretty powerful Hydropump Really good at taking out fire types
