I thought talk of exploits was getting negs from a mod? Now there is at least a half dozen *******s itt admitting to it and nothing....

Outdated af. Lick/Hyper beam is now the best for Snorlax.

even before the balance update i already maxed out my lick/hyperbeam snorlax. like the pokemon games on gameboy, i knew that hyperbeam was one of the most powerful skill. i believed brahs and the gamble was worth it

I believe it was talk of how to cheat or where to go that was neggable and bannable. Most of these guys are just lamenting on the fact that their wet dream is over.

[PattyBates]

They really need to do something about these 6v1 gym battles. As soon as I put a pokemon in a gym he gets taken down no matter how strong he is.

Lick/bodyslam is still the best for attacking. Hyperbeam is better for defending. Bodyslam does more DPS also takes less charge time giving you more opportunities to dodge incoming attacks.

To me it seems like the higher lvl you are the better pokemons you find near by ? I'm half way mid lvl 21 and just caught my first Dragonite CP 1354 // attacks steel wing 15// hyper beam 120. Are these stats good boyos ??? I'm just happy I finally got something good for once

Travelling around europe for a few more days, occassionally opening my game for that region specifik Mr. Mime. I swore I saw him on my radar, but after 2 seconds, he was off the radar

Clearly you don't have a snorlax with hyperbeam lmao. I have one-hit-KO'd so many pokemon in gyms with my snorlax's hyperbeam, fuk ur gay ass bodyslam lmao

[Zere0wn]

I can't find any Snorlax.

Nearly 26 and just saw my 1st rare in over a week. Have yet to even have a Dragonite, any starter Evo (other than bulba) or Aerodactyl even come up on radar.

So I finally get enough candy to get a Gengar and boom, sucker punch.

I'd love for them to implement a move learning system, where you pay something like 20 candies or so, or dust, and you can change the quick move of the Pokemon. I understand RNG is part of the game, but it sucks to spend so much time on a Pokemon for him to be pretty much useless.

I got a 98 IV Ghastly from an egg the other day. I have enough for a Haunter, but 100 candies for Gengar? Nope feelsbadman

late to this thread. is there any way to actually track pokemon now? or do I have to wander in a circle and hope to get lucky?

PokeMesh has been working great for me the last few days, but it'll only show you whats on your sightings list.
Even without I've been able to triangulate everything since the radius to a mon is only 200 meters.

[FlexLex]

Braghs, GOIV for Android works pretty good. Dont think it uses data from the App, instead i think it scans your screen to calculate while in game. Can only do 1 mon at a time, but still better than manually plugging in

dps isnt the best benchmark to determine an optimal moveset given server lag, human errors/reflexes, etc. the difference between optimal and suboptimal is also extremely small. it's practically a difference between less than 10% between each. most people are just in general better off using one super powerful attack vs a "top dps" attack

Can't find it on the play store. How'd you D/L it?

Go radar is an ios app that's pretty hnnng.

After saving up 125 candies for a 98% dratini I ended up with steel wing/d pulse

He's at ~100cp right now, is it worth investing to take this guy into the 2k cp?

Or go no contact

[UnflappedAcorn]

According to the misc main forum rules sticky and the gaming forums rules sticky, its not against the rules to talk about

Though i can see how legit brahs would get discouraged from playing if everyones botting

Your dratitni is at 100cp or your dragonite? Seriously you people need to stop thinking their IV's are the most important thing about them LMAO

With the current gym battling system, the importance of IV's is basically non-existent, but sure go ahead and spend an extra 50k stardust on that ''perfect'' dragonite lol

[penamante]

That's the point, who's to say the current gym system won't be revised later?

If it costs 125 candies all the same I'm gonna invest in the 90%+ even if it's a minimal difference

I have 650k stardust, 50k is a poverty amount for me

[IronCharles]

Agreed. I was thinking a tiered system might work. Lvl 1-10 can bring 6 mons, lvl 11-20 can bring 5, and players 21 and over can bring 4 mons to a gym fight. It would give people who grind for XP and level more reward for holding gyms, and more incentive to lower players to improve their toons and use strategy instead of just zerging with whatever top 6 you have

To me it seems like the higher lvl you are the better pokemons you find near by ? I'm half way mid lvl 21 and just caught my first Dragonite

I'm several levels higher, and only ever seen 1 Snorlax in the wild (didn't catch), and zero Dragonite or Lapras. I think it's mostly just luck, or knowing where the nests are. I'm pretty rural, so I have to drive to town just to find anything decent.

This is Niantic we're talking about..

Also just to clarify: I'm not saying completely disregard IV's. I'm just saying it's ridiculous to pump 50k+ stardust into for example a 95% 200cp pokemon if you have a 80-85% 1K+ cp of the same pokemon lying around..

Besides, you should really look at the specific IV stats more so than the total IV% imo, as for example my snorlax is a 66% IV, but its IV's itself are :15/15/0 which is practically perfect as all stamina IV does is add a certain amount of HP to the pokemon (max 12 I heard) and as snorlax already has a crazy amount of HP itself, I'm not bothered about it.

Just saying, not criticizing anyone

[Zere0wn]

Prestiging a gym with one of the OP mons on the bottom (Snorlax, Most water mons) is awful. They really need to fix.

But whats the rush to get a high cp pokemon right away?

Just take it slow and level a good pokemon

This.

I'm going slow and only keeping and evolving 90%+ IV pokemon - however long that takes.

I had 10km eggs from 0-22 (Jynx and Eevee). I got another 10km yesterday, and one more today as I was walking the first 10km. They both popped, Omanyte with 30 candies (not bad), and a scyther which I already had. I desperately need a good gym defender from a 10km egg, lapras or snorlax damit. I feel like I'm the only one with no real rare pokemon.




Abra and Jiggly are gonna get the boot pretty soon. Nidoran looks promising.

I keep guys in the high 80s too, low 80s if their CP is already high. if their CP is high and i have a lot of candies for that pokemon i have no problem evolving so I have another battler. candies for some of the guys are easy to come by.

i'm really frugal with the stardust though, especially when there's so many contradicting claims for what the best movesets are for some of them. i know ill have regrets if i use it, and then I get a better one or find out that move is actually not the best later on. only guy I feel safe with is my 93 Gyarados with Bite/Hydropump. not like I even need to use stardust to rape gyms with my crew lol. simply evolving and catch guys has given me more than a plethora of 1k CP+ battlers.

[Zere0wn]

They are going to change the moves power again too no doubt. It's still retardedly unbalanced.

Or you could evolve dat Dratini100, will be almost as good a snorlax for defense. Also seems like cp doesnt matter, only level matters since this table is based on level 25 pokemons. (a level 25 dragonite will have a lot more cp than a level 25 snorlax)
