Confirmation on the buddy feature

OwaynOTT · 02-09-2016 10:54PM

Is it to do with the evolution? Red for first, blue for second and yellow for last?

Rsaeire · 02-09-2016 11:03PM

After nearly two months of collecting candy to evolve Magikarp into Gyarados, how do you think I feel to get Gyarados... with Twister as its special move??

rustledjimmies · 02-09-2016 11:05PM

Lol, me too. I'm almost up to 400 Magikarp candies again! When I hit 399 I know where #400 is coming from...

Gyarados is terrible with twister as it's 'power move', I got the same thing man. I leave it in gyms but it's useless to use in battle,

Finally broke the 2000 CP ceiling with an 2129CP Exeggcute ... with Solar Beam.

The thing about that is.....what if they re-work the move later on...or allow move reset's for pokecoins at a later date?

NikoTopps · 03-09-2016 05:15AM

Really excited for this Buddy feature, wonder when it'll make its way to Android.

6th · 03-09-2016 08:11AM

Finally caught an Onix! 115 caught of 115 seen.

Jesus, I can relate to that. Feels like a wasted life.

Is it literally just pure luck what special move it gets?

Yeah well I'd probably have long stopped playing by then :pac:

Yup, as random as it gets. In my case, it seems to be the really good pokemon that I end up getting the s**t moves on. Such as my Gyarados and Blastoise. I also got Psychic on my Exeggutor, which is alright, but I really wanted Solar Beam so I can use it against water pokemon.

Whereas the pokemon I don't plan to use in battles, I'd end up with decent moves.

Me too! It'll definitely help build up candies for those Pokemon we rarely see or even when a couple more candies will get us that evolve we've been waiting for.

AFAIK yes, it's random. Never read something that would indicate otherwise.

Useless yokes. Can't avoid them in Santry Park.

Maybe now..........but having a strong Onix and a lot of candy means you will get a Steelix when Gen 2 launches!

pickarooney · 03-09-2016 11:59AM

Got my first wild charmander today. That just leaves pikachu from the starters.

sirboby · 03-09-2016 12:26PM

Just evolved my 95% iv charmander into a charizard and powered him up a few times, bit disappointed with its moveset but it will do well in defending gyms

Also recently got my first snorlax, it was also my first pokemon to have a ??? cp and is now my highest cp pokemon

It also has 80% ivs and a good moveset

JamboMac · 03-09-2016 12:34PM

Don't bother going out in the rain trying to hatch things all you end up with is half the distance calculated and another bloody psyduck.

And a wet phone.....had planned to do that myself today. Looks like its a Netflix and housework day then!

pickarooney · 03-09-2016 01:15PM

It's almost forty degrees here. Not much fun walking either!

Irishbrick · 03-09-2016 01:30PM

has anyone figured how often nests spawn
I'm nearly certain ive found an exeggcute nest, ive caught it four times in the exact same spot in the last week
if I had an idea of how often it spawns id keep running out to check it!

Nests will keep spawning regularly, like I'm talking every few minutes. Marlay Park is an Exeggcute nest. There's usually 2, 3, 4 or 5 Exeggcutes at any one time all around the park. When one despawns, another one will usually pop up right after. It will spawn in different areas around the park though, not just one particular spot.

If you're talking about 1 specific spot, then I wouldn't know. If it's a nest, it rotates around different spots in a given area as I said. So it'll be difficult to pinpoint when it'll next spawn in the spot you want. The best you can do is use a scanner to observe that exact spot for a while and see how often it spawns there.

I know the type of nest you're referring too. The Pokemon should spawn at the exact same time during each hour, e.g. from XX:15 to XX:30. As for which hours in the day it will spawn I've not reliably figured that out and the only option is to go and check or use a scanning app. FastPokeMap is very useful for this. I find it a lot more fun running out the door knowing there's something good there then going several hours throughout the day and getting nothing.

Yeah its one specific spot that ive found it, its in the corner of a tiny little piece of grass not too far away from in the city centre.
Ill check that scanner see what it says, cheers!

Gyarados's best special moves are:

Hydro Pump (for Attack)
Dragon Pulse (for Defense)

Sorry to hear that mate. It's happened to us all at least once at this stage!

Duff · 03-09-2016 05:41PM

Dragonite has great IVs too. Should be okay for defending gyms at least, and he's my first mon to break the 2000cp barrier.
