/pgg/ Pokémon Go General

Instinct a shit edition.

>About the game
pokemon.com/us/pokemon-video-games/pokemon-go/

>What is it?
Pokemon Go can be described simply as the Geocaching of Pokemon. Grab your smartphone, get some exercise, catch some mons, battle some people - the usual Pokemon gig.

>Some questions answered
pastebin.com/spEFYmPw
Feel free to add more to the pastebin, keep it in the OP though.

Basic info:
As you traverse the real world, as represented on the in-game map, you'll occasionally run into tufts of rustling grass. Approaching these will end with a Pokémon appearing on the map, and clicking on it will initiate a battle.

Battles aren't between two Pokémon, though. They're between a Pokémon and your ability to swipe a Poké Ball in their direction. When you engage a Poké Ball, a colored ring will appear around the opponent. These change in size after each capture attempt. Throwing a Ball during a smaller window seems to be more effective, based on our time with the game, but that's a part we're still trying to figure out.
Going near water will attract water Pokémon. Playing at night brings out more nocturnal creatures, like Clefairy and Gastly.
Hatching Eggs: Each Egg displays the number of kilometers you must walk for the Egg to hatch. In general, the more kilometers required, the rarer the Pokémon that will hatch. A notification will appear when the Egg has hatched.
Make sure you have the Pokémon GO app open while you walk. Kilometers walked when the Pokémon GO app is closed won’t count toward hatching your Eggs.
Gyms: Fight at your team's gym to train and increase it's reputation. Fight at other team's to decrease their reputation. Tap your opponent to hit them, swipe left or right to dodge attacks, once one or more blue bars are filled, tap and hold to power up your secondary attack, release when the smaller blue bar fills up. Take over other teams' gyms and put your mons in to defend them.

You need incense if youre gps spoofing unless you spoof yourself someplace where pokemon just pop up at your feet without it

WHY IS FUCKING EVERYTHING 3 PAWS AWAY
EVERYTHING FUCK

I asked a tinder girl "wanna catch some pokemon"

But I don't think she understood I meant pokemon go

Where do you find the qttrainers

Should I bother fighting a gym? I keep seeing people say that they're bugged.

>catch 500 CP haunter

Fuck
Level 20, do I even bother using stardust on that hitmonlee?
I don't think anything under 1k can compete in gyms my area unless you counter their type

Should I do it? There probably isn't anyone nearby that plays so I don't see the need if I'm not gonna get the opportunity to catch anything anyway.

I am level 8 about to level 9 and I can evolve alot of shit, should I waste my dust on power leveling by using the lucky egg once I reach 9 or should I keep my dust and not evolve?

So no matter what I do, I can't get a GPS signal. I'm starting at OSMTracker watching it update every few seconds, and yet the game just sits there with no signal.

What do I do? I can't even do shit with the starters.

I'm the sole Yellow in a town inundated by reds and blues. They are all 1k+ while I'm barely scratching 700. I've taken all their gyms and they've taken all but one. How do I take back the night anons? I've been evogrinding and hunting as best as I can, but it's not enough because nothing is nearby.

Evolving doesn't consume dust.

good thing i don't use gmail, docs, or photos

use a candy on hitmonlee, see how much cp he gains from one
then multiply the cp gained by candies left and see what level itll be

>Quick update - this seems to be inconsistent. It only seems to happen on iOS

I do not care desu

also this only matters if you are logging in via google, which I am not.

>not playing on a newly created gmail address that has no ties to anything
>not using bluestacks

kek

Wait till you got 40-50 pokemon you can evolve so you can maximize your lucky egg usage.

As for leveling in general, level up asap. Higher level = higher cp pokemon.

I have a Clefairy with Zen Headbutt and Moonblast. Based on what Serebii.net says, it will retain Zen Headbutt if I evolve it, but how can I tell what its other attack will be? I want it to get Dazzling Gleam, not Psychic.

Gg pokgo.

>90% of yellowfags are melodramatic mc's pretend living in a movie
i envy you guys sometimes

on one hand, star dust is pretty valuable
on the other, hitmonlee is my favorite poke

O shit yeah im retarded lol
Thanks user.
Ayy, I can evolve around 15 mons right now and thats because of me being in the city today, I will go tomorrow too and hopefully get more mons.
Ty for advice.

Keep grinding brother

It's INSTINCT OR EXTINCT

And remember, we await the arrival of the bird Jesus in all of his glory. AA-j.

not a bad idea. Was thinking of just biking or getting an electric scooter

does this work?

The point is i have 352 out of 350 items.

So you have any advice for new players?

Rolled in this morning, level 4, there are 5 pokestops less than 5 min from my house and a gym, is that good?

Should I save dust and candies until I have a lot of pokemons or start leveling pkmns asap?

Any ideas? Anyone?

>electric scooter
just get a bike

>tfw just found a 550 cp clefairy
>47 candies
iktf

>yfw every single gym on this planet has been claimed by now.

Do the devs even care about gps spoofing?

How on Earth do I fix the pokeball bug?

It won't tumble at all...

They will soon, they're just trying to make sure the game actually works first.

Evolve pokemon whenever, but don't use your powder until you're a higher level.

any bugs I have get fixed by just restarting the app.

don't waste dust so earl, i'd say wait till level 15 at least
catch all trashmons like pidgeys
pop a lucky egg
evolve all of them at once for max exp gainz

Im surprised because its usually a lot harder to get them to relent for me to do anything by myself. Sis has to meet her landlord so gona let phone charge and eat then its back on.

Stop lying son

no way this works

I've got a bike it's just not at my current house until next week. Have an old electric scooter too but battery is too old/dead

Not this one, it may or may not catch the mon, but I can't know until I restart the app, where it happens again and again.

I just wasted a fucking incense...

It works.

stop using the trip and kill yourself

not him but it worked for me
though I had a legit reason because the servers crashed every time i incensed
google technically pays for it so the devs don't lose money

In a weekish some nigger is going to kill some little white child over their ghettos Gym.

Parents of the world will come together to ban this crime encouraging gang war in mobile game form.

Nintendo stocks start dropping and they panic and cancel the game.

It won't even be released in Europe.

Screencap this, I'm from the future.

Google looks into that shit eventually, it doesn't work most of the time.

Speaking about eggs I think I got one from a pokestop this evening but doesn't show up anywhere in my inventory, where should it be?

I believe in you, anons

No

I've gotten that one a bunch though it seems to mainly happen when servers start getting slower

go to your pokemans
top right there's a tab called eggs
pop that shit in the incubator

how do you pay and how do you ask for a refund?
i would use my atm card

Worked twice for me.

I'm new. Should you just catch every pokemon you can, or can you pass on them and still level up fine? I don't wanna catch a bunch of useless mons to fill up my inventory and never use them.

That's the apk that's backdoored. From the play store isnt bad.

yeah i have a feeling they'll just charge you again if it turns out you still have them

catch everything, that's how you level.

catch em all

literally catch every single thing you see

yes especially the 1000 pidgeys

I use one of my smaller credit cards (500 dollary doo limit) for online shopping
then I just googled "google play store refunds"

Catch everything, evolve them, and then transfer them.

yeh i used my debit card, attach it to the play store
buy credits in game
then type refund google play into google, submit a thing and bam 15 mins later refund

>tfw some jerk has 60 4*

What do /pgg how do I get 5/50's*

>yeah i have a feeling they'll just charge you again if it turns out you still have them

Not legal. They will block you from iap's though

>evolve them, and then transfer them
why?

So what happens if you fight at a gym where the leader is the same team as you? How do you become one of his "grunts"?

nani?

Alright. That's a little gross. I guess I can just transfer them after I'm done. How long does evolving shit take?

Evolve nets you xp too. Though only do it for Pidgeys, Weedles, and maybe Caterpies. Pokemon that only require like 12 candies to evolve

exp. horde up on those pidgeys/weedles and save them. then when you have a ton of candies, pop a lucky egg and evo them to pidgeotto/kakuna for 1k exp a pop.

Welcome to bum fuck nowhere

I'm retarded.

I have 2 5km eggs, is that good?

>tfw playing in a park
>tfw sitting on grass in the sun
>tfw catching pokemon on 3 lured poke stops

>Want to take back a gym in a wooded area
>Scared that people will be there

potentially
there's 2km 5km and 10km
you can hatch a weedle from any of them, or something rare
get ta walkin'

My squad will merk your squad nigga

>plebs without XPrivacy
If you didn't care about your security that much, you shouldn't care now.

So I know this is purely anecdotal, but whatever, I know some people are frustrated so I did some testing:

>Raticate symbol near me at work
>work in commercial area with lots of roads
>decide to test out "3 pawprint" bullshit

>slowly drive straight east
>Raticate moves from the first symbol slowly down to the last symbol once I'm about a kilometer away
>go back to start point
>drive straight west
>exact same thing

>back to start point
>drive straight south
>raticate stays near the top longer but still slowly drops from the list
>holy fuck

>back to start point
>drive straight north
>Raticate completely disappears from the list
>think "fuck someone caught him"
>head back to office

>he fucking appears at the top of the list again but still has three paw prints
>close out of game
>re-open it

>the list of nearby pokemon is completely fucking different

I think that the reason people are fucking with the three paw print thing so much is because the list doesn't refresh itself when those pokemon get caught.
I think if you can close out of the game and re-open and the pokemon is still there, it's obviously not caught yet and you can probably track it down. But I believe the reason people are finding there are some that they NEVER find is because that pokemon was caught by someone else and your list didn't update.

Is it possible to team up with other trainers to take back a gym, or how does it work?

Most evolutions use up 12, 25 or 50 candies of the same evolution path. You get 3 candies for catching a mon and 1 more for transferring (letting go).

Evolving goes off of how many of that pokeon you've caught, I think.

I might have a different opinion later but honestly I'm mostly fine with all the shit I find.

Just hope the game's not extinct before they get to later gens.

>letting go
me and you both know how you get those candies

>Live in a city.
>Pokestops and gyms around ever corner.
>but it's hot as fuck
>Can't go outside for more than 30 minutes without getting swamp ass and dehydrated.


They should have released this in the fall.

Why is the yellow team considered to be autists?

Is there any way to see if there's a lure around you?

They last for an hour right?

Can we buy things in Canada? Or not yet.
