Mate of mine showed me his walking figures since the start of the game.
292 kms. 189 miles. All legitimately walked as well. Lunacy.

Ah i did not know that.LeonRivers wrote:
The Pokedex only displays numbers up to the highest that you have seen. Mine was at 133 forever until last week's Dratini pushed it up to 147. I know 150/151 are Mewtwo/Mew, which aren't in the game yet. 148-9 are the Dratini evolutions (Dragonaire & Dragonite).
Re: Pokemon Go
Is anyone still doing this I am at level 26 have caught 133 of the Pokedex now at the point of diminishing returns. So hard to progress it's almost pointless.
I will be in USA in 2 weeks so will get their regional exclusive, but will probably stop then.

Re: Pokemon Go
Regional exclusive? What's that?
I'm midway between 25-26 currently. At 115 of the Pokedex. I'm still on it. Hammering the gyms at the moment to get more coins to buy incubators. They'll release the last few Pokemon soon, surely. And I imagine Gen.2 Pokemon will be added at some stage.

Re: Pokemon Go
Eggs. The lame way to catch things.
I only use a ball. I may only be at 68, but all pure ball caught mons. The real heroes way.
Egging is cheating.

Re: Pokemon Go
I have now caught every available Pokemon in Europe plus the USA regional. BUT due to evolving early Before understanding or knowing about IV levels I evolved some rubbish based on CP only so now have to refine my Pokemon. Pissed off they only introduced the appraisal late on as I have waisted a load of effort.

Re: Pokemon Go
To me, this is the best part of this game. It encourages people to get off their backside and go out and walk.fjthegrey wrote:Mate of mine showed me his walking figures since the start of the game.

Re: Pokemon Go
If you want to really get good tips, I suggest you follow Trainer Tips on YouTube.
To find out the quality of you Pokemon click on a Pokemon and then click on the appraisal button.
The first appraisal is the quality of the Pokemon:-
Best
Strong
Decent
Poor (room for improvement)
The next is what its strongest quality is-
Attack
Defense
HP (health)
Or 2 or all 3 can be equally the strongest.
Next it tells you how strong your strongest quality is:-
Best
Strong
Good
Basic
Then a comment on its weight which at the moment we are not sure how this impacts things.
In my opinion only evolve a Pokemon with best quality and best rating on its strongest attribute.
That should be independent of its CP. you can always power up a high level Pokemon later. Also ONLY power up your best Pokemon. Stardust is to be used only on the highest quality pokemon. Just don't use it until you know what you are doing with it.

Re: Pokemon Go
When you have got all the above in hand you then need to look for the best move sets!

Re: Pokemon Go
I appear to have fumbled my way through and ended up with a good set of high CP, good move set 'attention catching/wonder' Pokemon. Since the appraisal update I guess I figured out that there was more than just CP to a good Pokemon and have been evolving and powering up accordingly.Hammer32 wrote:When you have got all the above in hand you then need to look for the best move sets!

Re: Pokemon Go
The appraisal is ****.
"This Pokemon has some of the highest HP I've ever seen! "
No it doesn't.
" WOW, I'm blown away by its stats"
You shouldn't be, it's a CP level 150 Koffing with 27 HP and a very weak attack.

Re: Pokemon Go
Looks like the nests have all changed again. A nearby Doduo hotspot is today full of Charmanders. That one is good news for me. Hopefully my most local nest (Growlithe) will turn into something equally useful or better.

Re: Pokemon Go
Leon and FTG, are you on a wind up, my boy (just turned 10), has got this installed on my phone in his name as I walk 4 miles a work a day and pass 10 pokestops, he won't let me battle at a Gym which is good news as I already feel a complete tw*t flick-ing at my phone screen!

Re: Pokemon Go
The one that used to be Doduo is in Milton Keynes. My local ex-Growlithe nest is now also Charmander, and that's in Nottingham.Hammer32 wrote: Where is your charmander nest??

Re: Pokemon Go
follow this link on a smartphone. Pokemon nests on your google maps/sat nav.
https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mi ... g&hl=en_US" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;"
Some of these are rubbish, some are dependant on time, some are inaccessible golf courses, and they've all changed last week. But I have found it useful.
