Is it normal when you start a battle for the defender to get two shots off really quickly every time? If the primary attack is a strong one I pretty much have to swipe twice every time a new defender comes up or my health gets chunked.
Connor Lewis
first for training best method for xp.
Aaron Bell
First for bubblestrat
Dominic Smith
the biggest appeal is the exp for sure
>which I don't care since with that diglett you will probably get rekt. first of all the diglett doesnt even go in the gym, and they only get to easily take out however many weak defenders you drop in it
if you really want to do it just for a fat gym, you can put 3 bubble dudes in, stack it to level 10 and put 7 strong guys backing it up the 3 bubble dudes will be knocked out easily taking it back to level 7, but the rest will just defend normally as though you had taken it to level 7 any other way
Robert Bell
How does it feel knowing that your game will die when winter comes? Or when they release Gen 2 and there's still pokemon-specific candy?
Jacob Brown
nice timing, me
today's hatches >80%, attack >88.9%, defense >73.3%, hp
also somehow the chansey got me 30 candy? do I even power it up with cp this low
today's catch was pathetic, at least it's a new dex entry the dint-show-up really pissed me off
Jackson Long
do you need others? you can only place one defender per gym right?
Noah Thompson
I don't know if its intended, but it is normal always start the battles by dodging twice
Wyatt Barnes
yeah but if you're doing it with friends they can put a couple too, and it speeds up the levelling I worded it poorly
yeah you get heaps of candy from eggs, particularly 10km eggs don't bother powering it up, its not a good attacker or defender unlucky about the dragonair, did you try tracking it properly or were you just hoping to run into it? also that diglett might be a good bubblestrat candidate for easy xp if you have good access to a gym
Jackson Ward
Bubblestrat bots when?
Ian Diaz
>not a good defender
Even with boosted defense and thrice the hp of other mons? Damn
>unlucky about the dragonair, did you try tracking it properly or were you just hoping to run into it?
There's a dratini nest near our municipal government office, so I was walking circles around it, hoping for it to spawn
Jace Perry
can't I just place a 10 CP mon and then BTFO him with my highest one? I still get 100xp.
Jaxson Wilson
I think in that case its more like 100 prestige and maybe 10 xp? not positive though
>Even with boosted defense and thrice the hp of other mons? Damn yeah she sitll has trash defence even with the IV bonus I'm pretty sure at least you've got a dratini nest there, how frequent are the spawns? you should farm them before something happens to it
Isaac Scott
you don't get 100 XP for any victory on a gym?
Jaxson Morales
Any good PoGo stories?
I saw two black people fight until one was knocked out cold and then the rest ran away
The knocked out guy had pokemon go on his phone so I dont know if it was pokemon related or not but was intense either way
Anybody else see anything special?
Jacob Roberts
oh maybe if the diglett is the only thing in the gym then just probably wont last like that for long unless its a really secluded one
Colton Campbell
people making fun of pogo players people taking pics at crowds of pogo players
Adrian Williams
1-2 spawn every 5 minutes, but only at specific hours in the morning, then they get overtaken by drowzees, goldeens, magikarps, zubat, yknow the usual trash
Michael Moore
>1-2 spawn every 5 minutes, but only at specific hours in the morning geez i'd be there every morning
Isaac Long
This.
Jonathan Foster
>go early in the morning >don't have to deal with team battles but still worried about kids taking down my gyms >get all the gyms in the area >mfw all that adrenaline
David Perry
>botted 5 accounts all 35+ >sold 3 on eBay and 2 on a forum for a cool 500 total >get email from eBay saying I'm being looked into for fraudulent activity >email from 2 of my buyers saying they are disputing charges >already spent the money Well fuck now what?
why don't you get xp for every pokemon your defender defeats?
Colton Hall
Do you have a bank account tied to the Paypal?
If not, who the fuck cares.
If you do, you're a fuckhead since you always knew the banwaves were coming.
I'd suggest arguing to eBay and the customers that they bought the accounts as-is and should have fully known the consequences of buying them, but eBay doesn't give a shit about pixels and actively tries to kill botters and gold sellers so I dunno.
Dylan Baker
>all niantic has been working on has been "stability" and some features that dont actually do anything helpful >cant catch pokemon. Game crashes without even loading into the encounter >gps will track, at most, a minute or a couple dozen feet >more than half of the time it doesn't detect my gps while loading the game >trying to take on a gym crashes my game >cant play the game at all except for placing lures or using incense Gg niantic. Way to make me regret spending less than 10 bucks on literally anything.
Luis Stewart
>tfw no muk
Kevin Barnes
>spending real money on phone games
Luke White
I play with my family and drop lures for them every once in a while. And as im not a huge jew i am willing to buy a couple lures. Ive got a botted and somehow unbamned account with like 7 lures atm though.
Hudson Jenkins
did you make 500$? holy fucking shit, that's quite a lot. I was botting an account to sell it, banwaves came when it was still lvl 29.
Also, fuck ebay. Tell them the buyers knew what they were getting, and that you're not responsible for the bans
Ethan Harris
>Soon as we hit the cold months it's dead
Consider this; Gen2 'mons get released late November/early December. Shit gets real again, and people start playing. Christmas comes around. What does everyone want? That's right, time to cash in on pokémon merchandise.
Colton Green
>racing a spoofer by bike An unwinnable fight but it was entertaining playing whack-a-mole for half an hour.
Leo Foster
Niantic has no fucking idea how to make a game with progression while making money, do they? I bet I could think of better ideas in less than a minute. Here, I'll try. >Generation 2 pokemon and chance to find legendaries in the wild are now unlocked with poke coins >increase coins earned from gym to compensate, now people have an actual reason to fight for gyms >get rid of pokemon-specific candy and make it type-based to allow players to actually evolve when new generations are put in Wow, that was so hard
Charles Nguyen
gyms are still a shitty mechanic
They could actually improve it a lot. The standard game boy version would be quite better than this fucking clickfest
The way I see it, the game is just a grind. You don't grind to some specific reason, you JUST GRIND
also, pvp fights pls
Julian Wood
how do you track properly?
Nolan Nelson
so.. when i get my digimon appraised, do i keep the ones with better scores but have lower CP?
im currently cleaning up my pokemon "inventory" and so far ive been transferring the ones i dont need to farm xp or pokedex entries and keeping the duplicates with the best appraisal scores, somehow ive noticed that lower CP pokemon more commonly get better appraisal ratings
Mason Gomez
>Think I'm banned >Didn't get an email
What do?
Easton Clark
its either connection issues or a soft ban that lasts maybe 1-2 hours or so
Nolan Watson
What you witnessed was a Team Valor initiation. You should consider yourself lucky they didn't mind you seeing it happen.
Brayden Murphy
It's been two days.
Blake Jenkins
You're pretty much fucked at this point. Expect a collection agendy to start sending their goons after you. And if eBay or Paypal get involved, you may get a visit from the boys in blue.
Matthew Collins
hooley dooley
Carter Baker
>Soon as we hit the cold months it's dead Not here in Houston. I, and a lot of people will be glad for it. It means we can be outside during the day for a change and not trying to avoid heatstroke from it being 100F+ from 9 am til 9 pm.
Chase Clark
I've been at an airport for about 2 hours and someone's been putting down lures on this pokestop almost continuously The area has no sightings but it keeps spawning stuff so I don't know if he's wasting them or not
Chase Perez
its actually a suicide bomber trying to gather kufars into an area
Jonathan Hughes
ride that train while it lasts then. It might be a spoofer but hey, I don't have a problem with spoofers when they put down lures.
Connor Allen
Pleeease let this be a vaporeon.
Jeremiah Price
Good luck
Samuel Campbell
rolling for a flareon
Thomas Ramirez
Vaporeon with crap moves.
Brayden Thompson
PokeSear.ch
Gabriel Parker
Apparently renaming it Rainer boosts the chance of it being a certain evolution
Jackson Ross
Only works once.
Robert Johnson
someone commission Incase to do a pogo comic already
i could go either way if he makes blanche a girl or a bitchboi
Ryder Stewart
If you want something done right, do it yourself.
Carson Baker
Day of the rope.
Jose Cook
What bots are people using nowadays? The continued fork of Necro, or some other alternative I don't know about?
Nathaniel Young
If we told you then Niantic might start looking for it. Right now we're not getting detected so if you want it, try to find it.
Adrian Jones
Oh please, you're not in some super-secret club. I know of the bots available, and just wanted to know which is the best right now.
Elijah Allen
Why don't you live our your fantasies and whore yourself instead, cakeboy?
Charles Allen
>still using bots Literally why? If you botcucks has simply played the game from the start you'd be lvl 30 already. Instead you keep getting your accounts wiped over and over to the point normies will pass you by in a couple weeks.
Dylan Jackson
I can only tell you this, the name of the new, super-secret bot is between 6 and 24 characters in length, has 9 vowels in it and rhymes with orange.
That's all I'm authorized to tell you.
Nathaniel Torres
What is going to be happening with Captchas?
I've seen some mention of them being implemented, for what purpose?
Leo Jackson
yes
Landon Morgan
To stop botters and scanners.
Hudson Wood
From what I read online the new update is one to avoid installing
>phones overheating more >battery draining quicker >people straight up not being able to login >other bugs...
Isaac Kelly
>tfw no pokegf
Nathan Gonzalez
all of these are bs
my tablet was draining its battery quicker than usual today, but only because it was >30c and I was walking in full sunlight, yesterday there was nothing out of the ordinary
Luke Fisher
Anyone else download Pocket Mortys?
Oliver Richardson
anecdotal evidence is anecdotal.
Josiah Robinson
so no evidence at all
Josiah Hughes
My anecdote is that nothing's changed except that suddenly I got to prune about 50 Pokemon that have been taking up space because they were like 37-95 in the calculator and I didn't feel like using Star Dust on them.
If you use one of the TOS breaking IV checkers it wouldn't matter to you but to a pure walker like me, it does.
Dominic Nguyen
>get banned for necro+sniping >call my credit union telling them to refund me my 30 bucks i spent on pogo before i was banned >they actually do, the absolute madmen
Jaxon Roberts
Make new accounts, sell them, pay off the other charges. Get a rotation going.
Nolan Lee
>necro+sniping The hell is that exactly?
Austin Myers
Botting is fun
Brayden Wright
Lurk moar
Justin Green
necros a bot that walked you around and played the game for you essentially, leveled you up fast
sniping is putting in coordinates anywhere in the world and snagging high IV or rare pokemon
Zachary Morris
Thanks!
Blake Butler
>turn on TV >news already reporting pokemon go is losing money and dying wew lad
But it has the worst move-set. I'm pretty fucking mad about this.
Austin Scott
Flamethrower is best for defending.
Ian Robinson
I'm getting an authentication error but I have no ban email. Should I send in an appeal anyway or is this some other shitty issue? Never botted, spoofed a little for a bit a while back.
Justin Watson
Make a new account and get over it or play hearthstone
Gavin Anderson
>spoofed a little for a bit a while back
Alexander Murphy
Does anyone even get banned for spoofing? Some chucklefuck started dropping all the regionals in local gyms a couple weeks ago and being really unsubtle about adding defenders whilst not actually being physically present, but they're still at large.
Brayden Hernandez
How do I make a new account when I can't even get into my game to sign out
Brody Gray
>fad is over >didn't even made ONE friend JUST
Logan Hernandez
Sent 4 ban appeals and not one got answered (all bots and each appeal I gave some bullshit reason) so I stopped playing for now but come here to see if any update happened
Jacob Parker
Uninstall and reinstall then you probably aren't banned Data is tied to account not app so try it
Samuel Wood
If the mons are blatantly botted or something then report him otherwise just let it be because niantic won't do shit unless it's a bot account
Jace Murphy
But what does a banned person get when they log in? Why didn't I get an email? If I'm NOT banned, then how the fuck do I play? I tried uninstalling, updating, clearing cache, and I can't do anything. Just "Unable to authenticate. Please try again." If I AM banned, why are they trying to keep a secret or some shit? No email, telling me to "please try again?"
Eli Hernandez
is botting still possible? I just want to make bank once trading is released, i dont care about gyms
Christopher Adams
what's niantic gonna do now? I mean they are losing money time to do something.
Alexander Reyes
Niantic isn't exactly the most competent company if you just started getting that message give it a few days and check your email then See Enjoy getting tied up in legal court
