Trust me, I'm a doctor
Damn, Vaporeon got rocked.
I mean if its rocking water gun + hydro pump its still gonna be a painful pokemon to fight. Just not obnoxiously so.
On the other side of things, however, pound chansey is going to be the new queen.

Game was a blast week one. Been getting stale lately due to not finding any good pokemon. Im a level 23 and still only have 1700+ vaporeons, flareons, and jolteons. While other people in my town at much lower levels have blastoise, charizards, dragonites, garadose, ect. Like wtf. Those are my favs and i cant find them anywhere lol.

Loving this patch. This game went from being mkxl to Tekken like with this patch. Way more balanced pokemon wise and I'm catching far more variety with the new nests.

I just turned level 21 now and I'm ready to use a few eggs, incenses and go hunting at the park.

Gyms in my city has raised and fallen like the sun and moon. The rein of vaporeon has been toppled but dragonite, Arcanite, Rapidash and magmar are now taking over our gyms.

And I'm sill stuck catching 760cp hypnos and jinkxs:(


Thank you @Juggs for the tag. Loving the game hardcore.:cool:

That's a power team right there. Whoa:eek:

Have any of you guys tried the Go Tools site in and Google play app store. It's very good for everything you would need like IV calculator & CP calculator even a pokedex!

It has the pokeradar and vision too but there suspended due to Niantic patch recently.
Yup. Unfortunately Alakazam's max CP is really low, in the 1,800. Which sucks because he's my fav Pokemon out of all 1000 or however many there are. But apparently Victreebell, Nidoqueen and King are really good, so we'll see. These are my highest cp below

Once you get to level 20, you start getting hugh CP pokemons that evolve to 1200+ easily.




You could always use a joystick.
I don't cheat. Defeats the entire purpose of the game. I'll just play my 3DS if I wanna play Pokemon at home. I don't even do the time exploit for incense/lucky eggs. Besides, I've spent money on my account, don't even want to risk getting soft banned.

Softbans are temporary.

I got soft banned so many times playing legit when I was in Japan because of the trains, they only last a few minutes.

You can get soft banned by playing in the car lol.

Does anyone else's disks stay blue after spinning the wheel on a pokestop??? Mine does not turn pink like everyone elses seems to.

Nah, it has been like this ever since I got the game. I still get gifts from them, but I don't automatically know when they have been refreshed. A friend told me today that it shouldn't be like this... weird.

Gunslinger since pre patch (sh/out to The Farmer)
Finally got a device I can play Pokemon Go on so I've downloaded the app, unfortunately it's raining so I haven't been out and about to play it much yet but that's just Scotland. Going to take it with me to VSFighting though this weekend, hopefully I run into some good stuff :D Literally all I've done is get Bulbasaur so still got a lot to do lol.
