25. But won't be playing for awhile, fell and fractured a rib.

Sorry to hear. I stepped into a pothole last week in the park. I remember some dudes saying "anorther one!?" While I was getting up lol.

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

Yeah there starting to come in now. I'm gonna be force to be reckoned with.

Soon.

You could always use a joystick.

Where is the abra nest

Tribble Mill Park, decent amount of Pokestops there too

 

[Youphemism]

So last night I just sat my tablet on my bed, didn't leave my room at all and here's what I caught thanks to the app not being able to get a GPS signal and just moving me about itself:
A few Drowzees, Weedles, Caterpies, Pidgeys and Zubats
Eevee, Clefairy, Clefable, Staryu, Vulpix, Psyduck and my starter Bulbasaur

That's decent right?

There's an Oddish about but I'm too lazy to get dressed and go out and get it. There was also a Jynx, a Gastly and an Alakazam outside last night but it was 4am so I didn't get them

 

[TamedLizard]

Alakazam outside last night but it was 4am so I didn't get them

I would have hauled ass.

Abra and Gastly both are hard to come by here which sucks since Alakazam and Gengar are my all time favorites. I've kinda accepted that the only Gengar I'll ever get is the one that came on the cap I just bought.

 

[Alright RyRy]

They are "nests" pretty much that pokemon always spawns there. The pokemon on the left was before the update, and now after the update they switched the nests.

Tribble Mill Park, decent amount of Pokestops there too

HOLY FUCK THATS FAR LOL

 

[Juggs]

HOLY FUCK THATS FAR LOL

Not for me, lol. I live in Gwinnett County, the furthest nest is Murphey Candler park, which is a Charmander nest.

Guys, found a great site to find your Pokemon's IV's. Pokeadvisor.com

It's really easy and simple and gives you other stats as well.

 

[The PantyChrist]

I caught a scyther outside my place at like 4 am. Can Pokemon be made stronger or do you pretty much have to catch them strong?

 

[Youphemism]

IVs?

Holy shit balls this site is amazing!

[Juggs]

IVs?

IV's are hidden base stats of Stamina, Attack and Defense. The max for each stat is 15. They are very important for Gym battling.

I was going to tag you but I figured you had already heard of it. It's great!

 

[TamedLizard]

So regarding IVs vs CP....

If I have two of the same species but one has 50-100 more CP with a 35% IV and the other has less CP but 80-90% IV, should I focus on the higher IV or CP?

 

[John Grizzly]

Living near a body of water helps out a lot. Finally got enough karp for this today.

I'd like to know about it as well.

Another question: why when someone beats my pokemon at the gym there is always 1HP left? I can't use my revive potions because of this.

IV's are great but really only add I believe a max of 10% more attack/better stats. For instance, if your Pokemon's base attack is 150, with max attack IV it will be 165. Each Pokemon has different base stats, IV's are basically modifiers to max these stats out. So it depends, generally I only power up Pokemon with 80% or better IV's.

That said, if you add all the max IV's that's a 16% better Pokemon than the original, which is significant enough to warrant powering up the ones with the better IV's.

I'm thinking of posting a guide on tips and explaining IV's, stats, attacks and more. Anyone interested or is it a wastw of time? Been bed ridden for a week so been doing research to keep from being bored lol

Same here, well, I've caught like 60 ghastly candies worth of Ghastly, but I only have 4 Abra.

Yeah, please do. I am trying to make the OP a info post for all of the players.

 

[TamedLizard]

You may be a Futurama fan if....

And @Juggs, a guide would be awesome!

 

[nathancorsini]

Another question: i want to evolve my Ekans. Should i pick the Ekans with the bigger CP or IV?!
