Finally got a 2k Heracross with Counter/CC. Also hatched and caught a Mareep so up to 66 candies. Good day.
forum's been bugged for me for awhile but both of those are bad sets for him now. you want Counter/Hyper Beam or even Steel Claw/Hyper Beam, they're far superior to either of your movesets because Ursaring is a Normal type and gets STAB from HB.
Caught 4 new ones tonight. It's on my other phone so I don't remember all of them exactly Heracross Chickarita Some evolved octopus And a thing that looks like a piece of coral
I think it's 233 not counting Heracross since most of the US can't get it. I'm missing 4 gen 1, the 8 evo item ones, Ampharos, Tyranitar, Girafarig, Sneasel, Shuckle, and Unown.
Just started playing again since November. Super bummed you can't get pokestops or catch anything while in the car. Still having a lot of fun with the gen 2 pokemon.
Hit my 2nd 7 day streak spin today since the release of gen 2 and did not get rewarded with an evolution item. I've probably hit about 300-400 spins since gen 2 was released and the only evolution item I've received was on my first 7 day spin streak (dragon scale). Figured I'd at least be up to 2 items by now. Anyone got more than 2 or 3 evolution items?
I could be off but seems like since the first update after gen 2 release people stopped getting them from the 7th day. I did my 7th day a day before that and received a kings rock. Later that day I received a metal coat. Since then probably spun around 300 times and have nothing. Second 7th day spin is tomorrow for me...crossing fingers.
they stop the 7-day streak thing unfortunately. Currently working my way towards a Machamp & only need 1 more candy for a Feraligatr.
hatched a couple phanpy, wish they'd give me more candy for em to evolve cuz i have yet to see in wild. got a miltank with 29 candy out of a 10k today though. tyrogue i'm really wanting... need a hitmonlee and hitmontop.
got this level 26 Gyardos yesterday at the pond close to my house. not great IV (64) but great individual IV (12 attack, 15 stam) and awesome O moveset so I just won't waste dust on pumping him up because he won't be a defender. very close to making a 3rd with the 100 Magikarp I hatched. Got another 100 Eevee at around level 18, used it for my Umbreon and if it ever matters in gyms one day I'll pump it up later. 100 Sunkern as well just waiting on the Sun Stone. and yes, party hat Pikachu in the bags now.
a reminder: today is the last day to buy storage upgrades for 100c instead of 200c. highly advisable to snag at least 2-4 of these while you can.
What do you guys keep in your poke storage? I'm sitting at 160 pokes in mine, however I don't mess with half of them. I debating on transferring half....
I keep at least one of everything two if I haven't evolved it and it has a great IV and then a few duplicate of elite stuff
I'm around 325 and it's composed of my attackers/defenders, prestigers, pidgeys over 300, potential Eeveelution candidates, and things I plan to evolve or unique things I can't find myself deleting (100 Eevee with 110 CP). I keep most of my evolutions and prestigers because moveset strengths change e.g. Fury Cutter Parasect is really good as is Power Whip Tangela whereas pre-gen 2 they were far inferior to Bug Bite and Solar Beam respectively. much the same, evolutions of mons I rarely encounter (Electrode, Jynx, Muk, etc) are kept because if they become viable I don't want to be left in the lurch and waiting to luck into another one. I have like 2 or 3 Discharge Jolteons which used to make for an F level moveset but is now an A level, if I'd deleted them because I was upset at the moveset I'd be nowhere right now. anything under level 23 (I do player level minus 4) is almost always an automatic toss from me unless it's something I can turn into a good prestige like that level 18 100 IV Eevee I got earlier today which I made into Umbreon which is the best prestiger in the game currently or unless we're talking rare pokemon like a Dratini or Larvitar. even hatched pokemon now I'm transferring if I can find equal or superior IVs in the wild but 4-7 levels higher which saves a shitload of stardust. it costs 60500 stardust and 54 candy to take a level 20 to 28.5, my current cap. it's just not good economics for me when the odds are I can find a better one in the wild if I'm patient and then I've got about a 25% chance of the level being higher than 20. the sad reality is after about 25 or so eggs cease to matter as much unless you're trying to complete a dex or just get some extra candy. I could probably trim down to 280 or so but I've got 700 slots now so why bother.
I basically keep at least 1 of all tier 2 & higher pokemon, rare pokemon & anything with IVs 82% & up; everything else goes to professor oak for candies.
Has anyone gotten an evolution item within the past 4 days or so? Hit my 7th again today and nothing. Haven't gotten anything in a long time and ive been spinning non stop.
I know for a lot of you this likely means nothing, but this was huge for me since I've been collecting these candies for this final evolve since the launch of this game. Dragonite is finally mine. Edit: screenshot won't attach but you've all seen it before anyways.
today's haul: 98 IV Eevee became 2300 Aqua Tail Vape 100 IV Eevee was 42 CP :( 100 IV Eevee became 997 Umbreon 100 IV Staryu became Starmie with worst fucking moveset and I can't ever get a Hydro Pump Starmie fuck this shit 50/50 day I guess but man going to a 98 or 100 IV pokemon and having its CP be shit is so disheartening. I still get my fair share of high level high IV but ugh, 42 and 110 CP perfect Eevees in last 24h that will do nothing. so finally hit the gyms today since all but 1 of my forever gyms got taken down and have some good news: - Fury Cutter Parasect is absurd. it's a total glass cannon and you can dodge 2 maybe 3 charge moves before dying but my 980 FC/Solar Beam absolutely annihilated a 2300 Gyardos and 2400 Vape. FC is ultra fast and charges SB up so quick and they both hit hard to boot. I had the Gyardos down before he could attempt a 2nd Twister. - Foul Play (with Snarl or Feint Attack) Umbreon is the best prestiger in the game. had a ton of success with it against almost anything. as soon as I finish my last 5 Magnemite candy I'll get another 96-100 Eevee in the level 18-21 range and make another. - when all else fails: Chansey. I forgot I tucked 3 away from the event and I hatched one today so I have ~1400 hp worth of prestigers right there AND it allows me to spend my max potions in a worthwhile fashion as I pull the Chansey at ~10% hp. but really, Chansey owns. moveset doesn't matter either, you'll either win or finish off whoever with the next Chansey. if you have 1-2 left from the event use them to prestige. haven't had a chance to test other prestigers yet like Skarmory or see how Tangela is these days but overall a lot of positive stuff from my viewpoint for the prestiging game and everyone here should be able to make a good Parasect and Umbreon to do the job.
look at this asshole. gym just got taken recently as it's in my city's college which is a hotbed obviously and mostly for Valor. I never bother with this or the other 2 college gyms because they change hands frequently but look at this dumb prick.
