I tried one this evening because I’m low on space and now the screen jumps back to the top after the evolution, wasting precious seconds because you have to look scroll down again to look for the pidgeys. New bug? Or have I never noticed this?

Looks like a new bug, just tried it and it did the same for me. Super annoying.

e: transferring stuff does this too, boo.

Me too. I just favourite anything I can spare the candy for, it goes to the top of the screen, and I mass-evolve it. Easy.

Tomato/tomato really, I just search evolve and it brings up all the pokes I have the candy to evolve and then they disappear from the list when I run out of candy for them :shrug:. It was super handy and efficient. I'm hoping it's a bug and not an intended feature.

Had a little fun today. I'm swimming in Golden razzberries with time to kill, and see a level 5 raid starting in 30 minutes in a mall. As I get there, someone is knocking it down, I get there and 3 of them are left. I fill them up, and wait. He knocks them down twice, I fill them up again, and repeat. After about 10 minutes, the "gym is under attack, you can't put your Pokémon in here" rule drops. So I drop a blissey in, someone walks by and drops a lapras in, and after a long battle of attrition, the gym survived till the raid. Caught the weather boosted groudon. Also got 24 hyper potions for some reason.

It sucks when you're just a visitor and wanting to get in on raid action while there to give your partner a break from family visit stuff :saddowns:. Though rereading it, maybe I interpreted it wrong; I figured they were wanting to see that your map was mostly/all chicago area. Maybe it's just so that it doesn't show you jumping all over the planet.

Also I didn't know the map function existed before he sent me that screenshot. Neat.

Can't help wondering how many people are actually going to use it since it sounds like the exact kind of thing that will make you look super weird in public, circling a spot of thin air slowly with your phone up to "sneak up on a Pikachu".

I'm sure people will use it at first for the novelty but the drat game already sucks enough battery with AR off(its always easy to figure out who is walking towards us for a raid because they've got an external hooked up) that it'll become unused pretty quickly besides by maybe kids and weirdos.

I have an inkling they're gonna make legendaries untrade-able if trading ever comes along(because it they can't be in gyms for reasons(???) why would you be able to trade them?) but I'm really hoping they dont; I caught a high IV one of each of the ones my boyfriend missed while he was off hiking in the woods for 5.5 months :(

The satellites aren't directly over your head, they're scattered about the sky, which is how they triangulate you. Tall buildings block significant portions of the sky, thus loving with gps on the ground.

Install an app like gps status and you'll get a little map of where your satellites are in relation to you.

Entropist posted:

Unfavouriting them directly after evolving is one extra tap on the star when their menu pops up, and by doing this they will not fill the page of favourites. Transferring can be done after the lucky egg timer has finished, and its easy because they'll have been unfavourited already. You can also switch back to the map easily to catch something and go back to the Pokemon menu without having to scroll around or search because the remaining ones to evolve will be right at the top.

I'll have to remember this for next time, although I hope that by the next time a double exp event comes they'll maybe reverse this stupid feature.

Even if we entertain the idea that this feature of snapping you back to the top of your menu was purely to spite us from "cheating" via lucky egg + mass evolves, is there any justification for the most casual of casual players who don't/won't know how to do the mass evolve strategy and wonder why they just instantly lose track of whatever they just evolved when they go back to their Pokemon storage menu?

I'm very stupid.
Back in my day, there was no search yet :bahgawd:

Also, that search includes everything which can evolve, which is too much for me. I prefer to avoid evolving the two-stage ones to their first stage when I don't have enough candy for both stages, because maybe a better Charmander comes along while it's sitting there as a Charmeleon, wasting 25 candy. Or sometimes I like to save the candy of useful mons like Golem for powering up sessions rather than evolve every tiny Geodude I come across.

So Search "pidgey" then. still faster than scrolling through the list each time :v:

You can also rename all your garbage evos to something like "G " and search will find em as long as you include the space. I'm saving candies now, but when I was pushing to level 40 to get it out of the way, it was handy. Especially since anything labeled "G " had already been appraised/IV checked and could be transferred if I needed space.

Did you mean 3000? Cause 300 doesn't seem to be much at all, going by my personal experience.

I agree it's insane, but I also understand the frustration that comes with kicking a couple hundred bots a day, day in and day out. I think the solution the admins of my main one found (single use codes) is a much simpler solution, though.

Larvitar/Dratini were them being idiots, Pokemon spawning more frequently due to weather is not a mistake, it's the entire point. There's an Eevee every square foot you step when Normal is boosted.

every time they add a new pokemon it seems like the system activates every single possible spawn right as they start. like when the last set of Hoenn pokemon came out, the game was flooded with spawns and it gradually calmed down to normal levels. When Farfetch'd was released, same thing - there were like thousands of them out that first hour and then it went back to reasonable but very common levels of spawning.

so you'll probably see a ton now but in a couple hours it's probably back to normal levels of spawning overall (but the specific pokemon you see will be different)

Torchic's later evolutions gain the Fighting type, which is boosted by cloudy weather. That's intentional.

I've also seen an increase in Seel and Shellder this snowy afternoon; both are pure Water type but gain Ice when they evolve.

I've also seen a lot of Spheals.

yeah i know re: the torchic but i'm seeing zangoose, tons of other stuff i never see. I think the only non gen3 stuff that's spawning is shellder and swinub (ice), actually.
