    was going through the egg list, I have hatched everything under ten k bar the region exclusives, that's fecking annoying, and three ten k's that havent popped, hitmonchan and Mr Mine, I caught a snorlax in temple bar a few weeks back
    So it looks like I'm as good as done with this game now, well until the buddy system goes live

    You can spin the ball a few times and then just hold your finger on the screen waiting for a good time to throw, the ball will keep spinning.

    You really had me going with that one - it would really help matters. Unfortunately the ball stops spinning [fast] within about one second so I'll stick with my throwing method. Pity, would be class if it stayed spinning without having to circles like my life depended on it!

    It does keep spinning, seriously. It will slow down and stop eventually but it gives you a few seconds, keep it spinning while the circle is too small/too big and release closer to the time you want to throw it. It helps with the accuracy. Maybe spin it faster initially if you can.

    I now owe you big time, I loaded the game to test it to make sure I wasn't imagining it and saw the shadow of a blastoise, I considered going to search for him and he appeared in my sitting room. Only 1354 but it's one more off the list. After checking Silph Road it seems I might not have been able to find a worse Blastoise :(

    I'm in a shopping centre and have TWELVE Pidgees in a circle around me! Serious Hitchcock vibe. Can you take a panoramic screenshot?

    I have a 255cp blastoise caught from the wild know he's pitiful, I don't think you can catch a good wild starter only hatch one. Best I have is a wartortle all squirtle are disaster and bulbasaur are a nightmare as well but pikachu takes the f***ing cake I hate him so bad.

    Close to enough candy to evolve dragonite and I catch dratini with 95% perfect and dragonair to evolve is 84.

    I have squirtle and bulbasaur both over 500CP caught wild at level 21. Not massive, granted, but as big as the charmander I hatched.

    I'm going by there iV I have a squirtle 515cp and a bulbasaur of 509cp, squirtle is at least 50% iV but bulbasaur is 27%

    How many evolutions can I fit in to a lucky egg run? I have 45 at the minute but I reckon I could get close to 70.

    I got about fifty evolves done within the half hour last night! I'm sure if you aren't adding to pokedex, this could be upped to close to sixty!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,339 ✭✭✭✭martingriff


    Caught a Mr. Mime today @ B&Q Limerick. Hatched a sandshrew so enough to evolve when I have some more pokemon to evolve


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,195 ✭✭✭Corruptedmorals


    106 caught at level 23. I don't have much access to places outside of where I live and my commute so I think that's hurting me in terms of variety. I'm also very impatient and evolve on the spot so lucky eggs are useless to me. On the plus side though, I work in town and my workplace is a pokestop with another 5 surrounding. Without the quays I don't know what level I'd be. Only hatched my snorlax last week, next stop Lapras!

    I've found it best to get a mixture of evolves and egg hatches at the same time and as many new Pokemon evolves as possible. I think the most XP at once I got was about 70k.

    With that said, I've read somewhere that people now quit the game during the evolve animations, so that they can get through the evolves as quickly as possible, and the evolves are still successful. It supposedly cuts down the time so much that you can fit in approx. 100 evolves! Haven't tried it yet myself.

    Made it up 2 st caterines park finally. Alot of Growlite. Nting to big cp wise. But got 3 700+ evee which was wirth d trip.
    Watching TrainerTips on youtube...seems that nests are for building up candies rather than getting good specimens, data suggests that nest pokemen do no normally have good CP or IV's.

    I would wait for 50-60, figure 30 secs per evolution.
    My last 2 lucky eggs were approx 25 'quality' evolves for new pokemon or better specimen, and maybe 30 pidgey/weedle/caterpie evolve for the XP boost.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,417 ✭✭✭Diemos


    I used 2 phones, mine and Mrs Diemos, it's the closest I've come to cheating.
    But I knocked out over 100k with 1 lucky egg by evolving 60+ pokemon.

    Are you on an iPhone? Because no matter how fast you spin it on Android, it slows (the blur stops) after exactly 1 second and is almost motionless another 1 second later.

    Yup makes sense. The best Growlithe I caught up there in St. Catherine's Park was 840CP and it had terrible IV's, 40% I think it was. The next best one was 807CP with 60% IV, which is the one I evolved in the end.


  • Moderators, Arts Moderators Posts: 36,034 Mod ✭✭✭✭pickarooney


    Hatched a Geodude so can let the kids fight over who will evolve it. Found a whopper Bellsprout and evolved that too. Just need 100 more candies now...

    I've 70 spare Eevie candies. Maybe wait for Umbreon and Espeon to be added?


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 566 ✭✭✭Rainman16


    There are so many Pokemon that everyone seems to have but I don't.

    Growlith, Ponyta, Syther, Diglit, Doduo, Omanite, Vulpix, Onyx.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,342 ✭✭✭fatknacker


    Loads of Omanite in Howth.

    I evolved one today.

    Evolved Haunter and Sandshrew too.

    Also finally caught an Eggsecute that had dashed on me weeks ago.

    104 in the pokedex


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,342 ✭✭✭fatknacker


    Oh it's 105.

    Still woeful for just getting to level 26. Still having terrible luck with eggs. Only 2 10k eggs. Meh


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,094 ✭✭✭SpaceCowb0y


    Have seriously lost interest since i hit level 20! Fair play to all the hardliners still out there grinding Pidgeys. I do flick it on now and again still if i'm walking and managed to finally catch my first Abra yesterday!

    Level 20
    caught 76
    seen 78


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,339 ✭✭✭crisco10


    Hatched 10km egg last night, 95.6% IV Snorlax with 1800 Cp. Pretty happy with that one!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,331 ✭✭✭AMGer


    Couldn't get a Doduo from a 5km egg for love nor money the first seven weeks I played the game, now I have one three days in a row and enough candy to evolve one :)

    Was the exact same, hatched three in last week, and caught one on the coast heading towards town and evolved it the other day! Mad how I didn't see it until last week!

    From what I've been reading, Niantic keep changing the spawn locations and rates
