Paid Members FLips Posted July 22, 2016 Paid Members Posted July 22, 2016 I have about 50 candy. Gym outside my house has a Gyarados in it. Bastards. Quote
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted July 22, 2016 Moderators Posted July 22, 2016 See, I've never even seen a Magikarp. How do you get one of them? When I'm out and about, I'm averaging a zubat and a ratatta every couple of minutes, but anything else is varied. I think it might be one of the ones that pops up more near water..? My office has a fountain in the courtyard and a canal very nearby and have got every one of them here, and not a single catch anywhere near home. Quote
Ian 86 Posted July 22, 2016 Posted July 22, 2016 I'm on 31. All from the same point near the lake in St James's Park, I was quite annoyed when he wasnt there this morning! Definitely support the 'near water' theory Quote
Paid Members Sergio Mendacious Posted July 22, 2016 Paid Members Posted July 22, 2016 Tempting... I could go down by the river, it's only a block away, but I'd assume I'd be more likely to get poison-types down there. Quote
Paid Members SpursRiot2012 Posted July 22, 2016 Paid Members Posted July 22, 2016 I have 24 Magikarp candy. Haven't caught that many. I'm level ten now. My strongest Pokemon is a Hypno I evolved and have put time into and it stands at something like 630cp. It's not strong enough to take a gym by itself. When do I start seeing really strong Pokermon?

Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted July 22, 2016 Moderators Posted July 22, 2016 I'm L16, and my best is a 955 Pidgeot right now. Can take a gym to cash in but I don't think anyone can hold a gym for long anywhere. The system certainly favours the attackers. Quote
Paid Members Sergio Mendacious Posted July 22, 2016 Paid Members Posted July 22, 2016 I've still never been to a gym — might make an excursion today. My best pokemon is a golbat called Flappy Steve, at about 600cp. Quote
Paid Members PunkStep Posted July 22, 2016 Author Paid Members Posted July 22, 2016 (edited) Christ, I only have 38 or so Magikarp. Almost 10% there They are definitely more common near rivers, lakes etc. Level 16 too, but I haven't even attempted to take a gym yet, more because of the fact I haven't been close enough to one for long enough to battle. Went for a drink at the local earlier this week and our old UKFF AWOL Burchills Buddy went outside 2/3 times to re-take the gym near car park! I've got him well and truly hooked on this.

Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted July 22, 2016 Moderators Posted July 22, 2016 (edited) I haven't bothered naming any of mine since I found out that only you seen your nicknames; other people don't see them if you take a gym I understand why, but still sad about it. Fearow Agnew is still in my top 6 for CP though for now! Edit - on gyms. It doesn't take long to take one and it's well worth doing, even if you only do it once a day to quickly cash in before someone steals it back and get your 10 coins. In 20 days time you'll be able to afford a bigger backpack just doing that! Edited July 22, 2016 by Chest Rockwell Quote
Paid Members Dead Mike Posted July 22, 2016 Paid Members Posted July 22, 2016 Reading this thread when you've never played or watched Pokémon is what normal life must feel like for 80 year olds. Quote
Paid Members Bus Surfer Posted July 22, 2016 Paid Members Posted July 22, 2016 For anyone (on Android) with few Pokestops near home and not wanting to spend any real money in game, It's really worth downloading the Google rewards app from the Play Store. A few ticks in boxes will give you Google Play credits which can be used in game. Obviously it doesn't give you huge amounts, but I've managed to get a few lots of Pokeballs at no extra expense.

Paid Members Arch Stanton Posted July 22, 2016 Paid Members Posted July 22, 2016 Is the text in the Pokedex profiles all fucked up for anyone else? Quote
DJM Posted July 22, 2016 Posted July 22, 2016 Is the text in the Pokedex profiles all fucked up for anyone else? If you are using an Android phone, then I am having the same problem. Apparently it could be to do with the resolution that the game is trying to use (1080). Quote
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted July 22, 2016 Moderators Posted July 22, 2016 I've never looked in there before, but now you mention it yes, I'm having the same issue. Quote
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted July 28, 2016 Moderators Posted July 28, 2016 Article that is probably totally unnecessary but I found interesting: http://kotaku.com/the-uncracked-secrets-of-pokemon-go-egg-hatching-1784339902? About how the egg incubation system works. Or rather, doesn't. Quote
