So I should do more gym battles is what your saying? I'll go give it a shot. Where I live everyone here is around levels 21-30 so I thought I would wait till I reached around 21 or so.

I'm gonna need A LOT of revives

Well hatching eggs is the best use of time for stardust, and gyms are actually pretty easy to eat through. You get 6 Pokemon to eat through them, and every battle you win takes chunks out of the gym. Even if you're only clearing one with 6 Pokemon, you'll bring in the big exp and dust

I stocked up hardcore before I started battling. Honestly, the main reason I like doing gyms is the daily bonus. It's the only way in the game to score Pokecoins without a microtransaction. For each pokemon in the gym you receive 500 stardust and 10 coins.

I've noticed but holding them down is a battle in of itself. Those Dragonites beasts. But I caught some beasts myself but I was told to wait till I reached lvl 20 to start evolving them.

I'm only 2 levels away thankfully.

 

[villainous monk]

Well in my case, the gym leader has a hella strong dragonite followed by an arcanite, vaporeon, and my snorlax

Oh man. Boy do i emphasise with you. If you don't got a top tier pokemon in your arsenal it's a up hill battle.

I'm not so sure. I mean don't get me wrong, you're probably not taking any gyms with beedrill and magikarp, but you don't need super top tier to take a gym.

You can go entirely mid-tier and clean shop if you're not garbage at the dodge mechanic.

Tap, tap, swipe... Thats about it, am i right?

Not necessarily. There's a timing involved with it. Tap tap swipe might keep you safe from some things, but you'll eat a 2k Snorlax hyperbeam if you aren't careful.

Got this game almost a week ago. Trying to catch the shit out of everything

 

[The PantyChrist]

When will they fix the goddamn tracker

 

[Eldriken]

When will they fix the goddamn tracker

Probably never. They've known about it since it started fucking up and have acknowledged they're aware of it. But no updates to the game since then have done anything about it.

 

[The PantyChrist]

Kinda disappointed to hear/ see that my haunter can't be that strong

Vaporeon no longer OP! Niantic working on nerfs as fast as NRS does.

Bad news for Vape bros, but on the upside, soooo many pokemon are better now.
Blizzard/Fireblast/thunder/EQ at 100 power? Shaizah.

Didn't even get notified of this tag. I'm slacking still level 14.

 

[The PantyChrist]

I just got to 13

 

[Eldriken]

I'm only level 9. lol

I have no interest in playing the game anymore until they fix a whole heap of shit. They're more concerned with fucking buffing/nerfing than they are fixing a god damn mechanic to the game that allows you to play it properly.

Thanks for the heads up.

Pretty excited to see some variety in gyms. Also stoked that they're going to be updating frequently.

Now if we could just get this 3 step crap fixed. I've now missed out on two of my all time favorites because of it.

They disabled it because it killed the servers. I would rather have servers to play on. I agree with it is a critical feature but it does drain alot of the servers.

It was bugged initially, I thought? Either way, hopefully it makes its way back in soon.

 

[Awkward Sloth]

So they buffed/nerfed some attacks power? Cause I don't remember Thunder doing 100 and Bug Buzz being 75.

Correct. Hyper Beam and Solar Beam are 120 now and Vap's basic went from 10 to 6 among many other things. The list is pretty extensive. Lots of changes.

Such a whiny baby. Jeez.

You're probably team mystic, aren't you?

Damn, Vaporeon got rocked.
