I'm not sure you guys but I think this might be some kinda bug.

It's an exploit that's been floating around for a while, where you can stick an egg in a gym to keep it indefinitely

You make an API call to stick your egg in the gym. Can't do it through the UI. People have been sticking eggs in gyms using a new lvl 5 account, and then putting pokemon from their main account into the gym, so that they hold it indefinitely.

level 20 and a question about higher cp vs iv%. so I have 40 eevee candy and three different eevees I have to decide from to make a vaporeon. I have a 605 cp 65% iv. a 587 cp 73 to 78 iv. and a 366 cp with around 96% iv. not sure which one to evolve. the 605 or 587 will evolve to be stronger than any of my current pokemom, but if I plan to keep powering up the vaporeon long term the 96% will obviously be better.
so I guess it comes down to is the 96% worth using a bit more candy on?

Honestly I wouldn't evolve any of them unless you really want to evolve one just because. I would wait, a few more levels and you'll be getting a shitton of 700-800+cp eevees. Dust is the real limiting factor in this game.

Depends entirely where you live. I get 10k+ Stardust a day and it's never been a limiting factor. Got 3 powerful pokemon at max CP and still over 300K dust. Level 28 now and in the time it takes me to earn a level I've earned triple the dust required to power these guys up to max again.
Eevee candy is more of a problem over here.
@OP: If Eevee candy is easy to come by for you, go with the highest IV one you have and evolve it into Vaporeon with the naming trick. Pray you get Hydro Pump b/c the naming trick only works once. If you don't get Hydro Pump you'll have to evolve some more Eevees with a 1/9 chance of getting the optimal moveset Vaporeon.. GL

How are your hopes and dreams shattered lmao. Just get a 10 km egg AFTER hitting lvl 20 and it'll be a lvl 20 rare pokemon.
And personally I'm playing to fill up the pokedex, hacks and bots don't affect me. By bad mechanics I assume you mean the tracker then? There are various workarounds 
|
+ Show Spoiler +My PTC account got banned for using a tracker site. Got the email a few hours ago
Thankfully my main is ok.
edit: Turns out there is a phishing scam making its way through the spam filters by spoofing the exact Niantic auto email address.
There is also a legitimate ban wave occurring though because dozens on the silph road reddit are reporting there tracker ptc accounts have indeed been banned. So my advice to TL is if you get a ban email. Don't click the links in it. Go to Niantics page yourself and look for the appeal ban page.

I got 3 x 10km eggs in atm and I am lvl 20. but the eggs are all from before so...
Ye the tracking, the sometimes seemingly random catching, lack of content,... the usual. Oh, and the big city advantage is quite annoying

Hydro Pump is a bit overrated, as long as you don't get Water Pulse you should be fine as there's good reasons to have both pump and aqua tail. Hydro Pump is only the best theoretical damage, the practical damage is a lot more complex.
The other thing you can do with a high IV low CP Eevee is save it for a Jolteon or Flareon later on down the road.
Basically all should I evolve/power up questions come down to a simple thing... what is your return on investment. If you want to play 'ideally' you should only power up and evolve pokemon when they will give you a good return. For Pidgeys this is your lucky egg evolution spree. For fighting pokemon you really only want to evolve & power up when doing so lets you accomplish something in gyms you otherwise couldn't.
In terms of long term vs short term goals (i.e investing heavily into a lower CP Vaporeon or the lower IV one)... generally it depends on your situation and again what the return is vs investing (i.e if you invest in a high IV Vaporeon and power it up how long until the vaporeon makes you back the dust you spent on it). You could easily just evolve the high CP one and not invest in it (though this makes it tougher to make a 2nd Vaporeon later) just to take gyms for awhile if Eevee candy is easy for you to come by.

rip, why did my vaporeon have to get water pulse
|
im level 26. just caught a CP 41 snorlax in my local park. feels good.
|
So.. I don't get why people don't complain about the battling more? Like people got all mad about the tracker changes, but I haven't heard anyone complain about the battling and it's broken as hell.
Or am I the only one who notices that attacks very regularly desync from their animation? People talk about beating pokemon with really lower CP pokemon by dodging but I tend to just assume they're either very lucky or lying or something because attacks seem to have a 10-20% chance to be synced from their animation and thus unavoidable.

I don't think dust will continue to be the limiting factor as people progress--it takes exponentially longer between levels, and you only get two new power-ups per level (while gaining the next level you'll have to be getting a shitton of stardust).

When I fight against Hydro Pump it doesn't seem to announce the move til after he does it, when other moves seem to announce before so you know it's an important dodge. Most of the time the only tell for hydro pump is a somewhat longer delay than usual before the move comes out, so I find it more deadly on defense too than aqua tail, which seems to be easier to dodge.
Dunno if that's a lag thing or what.

Yeah fair, Aqua tail is probably better for gym defense (going by the assumption that Hydro pump is easy to dodge which I do not really agree with), Hydro pump is the clear winner in offense though.
Up to you if you really want to care about 5 DPS in a game that will most likely never be played competitive.

The other part of it is that 2 bar moves give you more flexibility where as 1 bar moves can have some limitations that lower their effective DPS. You can hold the 1st bar until the enemy uses a special then counter with your own without sitting at maxed out, you can more easily avoid overkilling the opponent, that sort of thing.

The later levels also cost dramatically more to level up though. It goes both ways though. A high IV pokemon is often 1-2 levels higher in CP than a lower CP one so even if you can't level it up all the way it can be better CP for battling.
