I just ran out to get my very first Gen II mon and guess what? We can now add Sentret to the list of things that can actually be Dittos. Also holy hell this game is nearly unplayable unresponsive right now.

Most of the new cosmetic options look like poo poo. The lighting and textures seem totally off and clash with the original designs. Reminds me of all the community DLC for The Sims back in the day. (Or, to be slightly less dated, most Skyrim workshop stuff)

Sanford posted:I just caught a bear with a moon on its face. Is that good? I don't know whats going on any more. I got one too and would also like to know. Is there some place to find (and submit, for that matter) data on the relative rarity of pokemon in this game, gen II or otherwise? Maybe something that archives scan query results so I can see "yeah there are like a billion Venonat in Portland but if you see a Geodude you should probably put some effort into getting it"?

kuroiXiru posted:I think you can use the Global Nest Atlas that way if you search for individual species. Thanks for sharing, but I'm not looking for instances of a particular species though. I'm just curious about the general frequencies of spawns in a given biome, disregarding nests. I enjoy the posts when people share what's common and what's not in their area but I realize they can clutter up the thread and it's an inefficient way of compiling that data. I think it would be interesting to browse a map or spreadsheet and was wondering if anyone has made such a project. Especially now that we have a bunch of new species for which I haven't developed a rarity scale based on experience.

bobjr posted:Slowking gets fire blast so if people attack gyms with grass or bug it'll surprise them. Yes but type effectiveness and STAB are the same multiplier in this game, right? So if a Slowking uses fire blast on a grass type, it's just as much of an advantage as if it had just used a psychic attack, correct? Poppyseed Poundcake posted:Can we add this to the OP?

Dr Tran posted:Is Mareep common anywhere? Certainly not here. I haven't seen one yet here in Portland. For anyone who cares about this stuff, here's a dump of all Gen 2 I've seen (I think I did well subtracting my hatches, nests, and gym sightings). Anything not listed is 0. 21 Sentret, 2 Furret, 12 Hoothoot, 15 Ledyba, 2 Ledian, 38 Spinarak, 4 Chinchou, 42 Natu, 7 Marill, 1 Sudowoodo, 8 Hoppip, 6 Aipom, 6 Sunkern, 17  , 24 Murkrow, 1 Wobbuffet, 1 Gligar, 9 Snubbull, 1 Teddiursa, 1 Slugma, 3 Swinub, 2 Octillery, 3 Mantine, 2 Skarmory, 1 Houndour, 3 Phanpy.I tap just about everything I see if I can manage, but there's still going to be some underrepresentation of the common ones of course.

I know this is foolish to ask because it's Niantic but does anyone know when the storage discount ends? All I can find on official channels is "through Feb 28th PST". Midnight? Who knows?

Marf Revus posted:How many evolution items have you guys gotten? Picked up my ninth tonight and not sure if I'm insanely lucky or what. The only two other people I know who still play have gotten one between them 😳 I'm pretty sure I saw it's a roughly 0.15% chance that a given drop will be an evo item. With some back of the envelope math that's roughly 1 item/150 pokestops if you average 4ish items per stop (slightly generous estimate).

Willsun posted:An enemy in my area has been using a lowbie Gastly to train their gyms. There's one gym (and only one) in a nearby busy neighborhood that regularly turns Valor and it'll have 4-6 50CP Gastly in the bottom slots. It's really weird and suspicious. Also, gently caress these 10k eggs. I've gotten 3 Gligar in a row. I've still never gotten a Lapras, Chansey, Aerodactyl, or Larvitar. Level 35.

seiferguy posted:Am I being trolled here I can't speak for Halibut but no trolling over here, it makes sense to me. I get more ultra balls and pinap berries than I know what to do with and I don't use a tracker regularly so it's not like I'm swimming in Snorlax and Chansey, so what else am I going to do with them? Get candies to power up my perfect but effectively useless Nidoqueen and Raticate? Nah, I'll turn that pinap berry into another ~275XP down the road with a Lucky Egg evolution batch. Sure it's chump change, but a penny saved is a penny earned...

Parrotine posted:I love how most Rhyhorns evolving into Rhydons have Megahorn as their defense option, specifically to tell one certain palm tree to gently caress off royally whenever he tries setting up any Solarbeams Except that because the Super Effective and STAB multipliers are identical, the Rhydon would still be better off with Stone Edge. e: I just realized bug would be doubly super effective. Even still, it's not that much better and is of course extremely situational. Visual Sneeze fucked around with this message at 11:10 on Apr 6, 2017 |

Willsun posted:To be fair to a lot of casual players, the game's algorithm hardly chooses electric types at all when going into a gym with Gyarados even if the first enemy is a Gyarados and you have a high CP electric type ready with full health. My guess is that the highest CP electric types are only mid to low compared to everything else so that's why the game doesn't queue them at first pick. I have a death squad of ~2300CP Jolteons (whoever recommended Electabuzz must clearly not have my bad luck of getting fighting moves), but I always have to override the lovely algorithm to get them on my anti-Gyarados team. I'm picking off a gym with a single Hydro Pump Gyarados in it and what does it select for my 1st slot? Why, my Rock Smash / Earthquake Rhydon, of course! Double vulnerable to the enemy charge move and with both attacks being weak due to flying type defender - what the hell, game. Robokomodo posted:I'm level 35 and still haven't found a decent snorlax.

Drunk Nerds posted:Wait, is mareep good in battle, or just rare? Ampharos actually looks quite good in this game. Just hope you don't get the fighting charge move. A/D/S is 211 / 172 / 180. It doesn't hit as hard as Magnemite or Jolteon, but it has way more staying power than any other electric type in the game so far. Jolteon and Electabuzz are the next highest at 232 / 201 / 130 and 198 / 173 / 130, respectively. Data from Silph Road. Note: I have no personal experience with the bastard.

My greater neighborhood is lousy with level 10 Mystic stacks and there's nothing I can do about. I haven't shaved yet but goddammit I'm tempted to when I see the same person in gym after gym and when I meet them in person they tell me they have like 35 gyms. Leave some for the rest of us, ffs.

Add me to the "I've got plenty of grass so 'meh' " camp here in Portland too (not a weed joke). The kicker? I'm going out of town for the first time in ages this weekend and was looking forward to finding different things. LOL NOPE. Just my luck, eh? Speculation: Water event got a Magikarp hat; Hoppip propeller beanie for the grass event?

Steve Jorbs posted:How did you bastards get so many Larvitar candies? I've only seen one pop up that I caught that happily turned out to be 93% albeit low leveled. Time to grind... I have no idea. I talked with the guy who coordinates the Mystic group on Facebook for our city at a meet-up on Sunday and he was showing off the 180 larvitars he had caught so far. I mean really, what the gently caress. I've seen 1 and that was before this event started. Granted, he did say he hadn't slept in a couple days and played for 14 hours straight at one point. I would ask why he does these things when there are thousands of better games to be binging on, but it's obvious this guy REALLY gets off on making himself the center of attention in the group.
