do move types come into effect? Since there's variation in the what movesets the pokemon has, should I consider that when choosing which pokemon to raise/evolve?

In gym fights, you can have super/not very effective yes.
IDK if STAB is in the game though.

I'd like to know this too.


As your trainer level increases, max CP of pokemon increases too.
So a zubat caught at lvl 4 will probably have less CP than the zubat caught at lvl 5. Of course there is still randomness involved.

I believe all pokemon of the same species have the same CP cap (for your given trainer level).

So personally I only train pokemon that no longer need to evolve (my hypno, jynx, pidgeot...)
Most gyms in my area already have 350+ CP pokemon in them so training is a must if I want gyms.

When I have enough candy for an evolution, I just choose the pokemon that has the highest CP, transfer all the others to the professor, and then evolve the best one.


That makes sense, thanks!

isn't it better to level up your pre-evolved pokemons and they get the CP boost through evolution? because after they evolve, the incremental materials required to power up is more?
Do yourself a favour and just STFU

From my experience, the amount of stardust required for training depends on the % of max CP your pokemon currently has.

So a pidgey with 50 CP out of 100 would cost the same as a pidgeot with 400 out of 800.
Evolving gives a CP-boost but max CP goes up too and %-wise it stays the same.

Seems like the highest possible cost is 1000/upgrade.

Two observations:
1) There's very few pokemon near my house in the suburbs. Walking around for an hour I ran into only three. After driving downtown to run some errands I was hitting zubats and spearows left and right, caught probably 10 pokemon in an 30 minutes. Seems the distribution of mons is off.

2) There's two gyms near my house. Some guy has a 478 CP MAGMAR GUARDING THAT SHIT WTF. How are people getting that with all the server lag and it being out for 2 days?

Are you just opening your app every now and then to see if something is in your radius?

Yea, pretty much. I've also noticed that if I see a pokemon, my gf will see the same pokemon too, sometimes not.

Posted earlier: Have the exact same problem just that I get no Pokemons at all here in the downtown. The distribution is definitely off. Though I would like to know if this is because of Ingress or if the game is just "bad" in that case

Also fuck that guy holding the gym directly across the street with a I believe it was a CP 750 Vaporeon since the beginning of day 2

I caught about 20 different Pokemon in my (suburban) house, but there aren't too many others within a mile radius my house.

I'm still waiting for them to figure out the PTC account issue.


This whole wait wouldn't be so bad if there was like.. any amount of communication from Nintendo/Niantic about the problems.

Just a "Hey, we know shit's bad. We're working to make it less bad" would suffice.

Agreed; I found this website, but it's not 100% accurate (so far it's about 2/3 accurate based on a few dozen refreshes): http://www.mmoserverstatus.com/pokemon_go

Right. So far only the original 150 are released but you can be sure that this will be increased after time.

I've never played a Pokemon game in my life, and I've never watched the cartoons. So basically I know nothing about it, but I'm very tempted to try this game when it launches here.
Are there any major drawbacks of not knowing the universe? Or do you learn it as you play?

So I finally learned how to throw the Pokeball but I wanted the Squirtle not the Bulbasaur, but it's cool I guess..

Lol, wait until you have to catch a large flying type. Throwing pokeballs will not be easy. I spent at least 40 something pokeballs yesterday throwing them at a Pidgeot > _ >
