That being said, touch screens can be hard to properly use when they are wet.

I was actually riding a bike slowly instead of walking, I've gotten good at catching stuff with 1 hand and riding with the other. Half the time it's raining, so I switch to an umbrella and phone in my pocket. I need to learn how to ride with no hands so I can use the umbrella+phone at same time. | ||

As a follow up, first two hatched into another Eevee/Pinsir. Last one trailed a bit behind and I finally have a good Omanyte! Only Aerodactyl and Hitmonlee left for my NAdex. | ||

Yellow/red can only get 10coins per day if I can give a fuck to take down 10 dragonites. | ||

So all 10 pokemons you see are dragonites. Taking it down doesnt matter since the spoofers will take it back within 15mins. Yellow/red can only get 10coins per day if I can give a fuck to take down 10 dragonites. where do you live? I've never seen a 3.2k dragonite, I've been collecting 80-100 coins a day for the last few weeks. Usually my gyms are around 2300+ cp at the lowest, and about 8 levels higher they're at 2600 cp | ||

They'd have to deal with maxed out Snorlax and Lapras anyway. I've got at least three 80+ Gastly and over 750 Gastly candy. I'm just gonna dump the rest onto Gastly that I save up and treat em like Rattata's next evolve cycle. | ||

As for the event, I'm fairly content with it, since it's definitely helping out my ghost, psychic and ground achievements. Zubats and Golbats aren't actually as common as the other four, at least for me. Anyone else have some lax spawning of one of the event Pokemon? | ||

We have a few areas that are on par or even better than NYC central park so pokemons are common. The bare minimum to be in gyms is generally 2.9k cp now but 3.2kcp is now the "safe spot" When the scanners used to be up, seeing hundreds of people running after a rare pokemon is very very common. I believe that most of them are spoofers since they are the same level with the same exact CP pokemons. For example in a gym, the bottom 4 are lvl 31 with identical CP of say 3223 CP dragonites, then the next 3 are level 33 with 3318CP dragonites and etc etc One view of our pogo crowd in actionhttps://www.instagram.com/p/BKX21GojsS5/?taken-by=jensonbutton_22&hl=en This is around 2/3am when this video was taken. | ||

The gyms in my area have started all sticking around level 10 but fortunately the average cp is still 1800. | ||

Lower level players have no chance of sniping gyms except at super highly contested areas ever since the update for training with 6 pokemon was in place. Level 10 gyms with 10 dragonites are the norm now. niantic should incentivize defeating gyms with 300 xp per kill instead of 100, or just nerf the shit out of dragonite with their CP growth. | ||

Seriously. It's pointless unless you're in a group large enough to force a similar situation. | ||

And my highest is a 2200ish Vaporeon. My 3 Snorlax catches don't even add up to 1000cp and I have seen exactly one Dratini since the game launched within travel distance to catch. If I could find a gym loaded with grass weak pokemon I could take it out since I have 2 95%+ Vileplume and 2 90%+Victreebel all with dual grass moves. But it's all Dnite and Lapras and Snorlax so that's an uphill unwinnable battle. | ||

Nitpicking, but: At lvl 31, the highest CP a Dragonite can be is 3125, at lvl 33 it's 3225. I have a hard time believing the 10th spot in a gym is 3200 CP, over here the threshold is still a low 2k. I also only have 1 Dragonite so I guess in Singapore I could only stay in 1 gym at a time lol.. | ||

I should have just said X CP and Y CP  But having 4 dragonites with the same CP is just astonishing for meThis event helps a little by making me farm more dratini candies. At least i got a 89 IV dragonite so it "should" be safe when I maxed it out fully but I'm only level 27 currently with a 2.5kish dragonite... | ||
