Goons having trouble getting their jogging distance registered: Have you tried doing it in battery saver mode? I'm finding a huge uptick in distance measured with the battery saver (upside down) screen on. I measured today, and it was practically 1:1 I'm in Washington state FWIW

Wow, smart tip. Thanks! (E: the turning your phone off until enough time has passed to get under 6.5 mph) My neighborhood gym is by a school bus stop, so it changes hands 3-10 times per day. Doesn't matter if it's a maxed out Blissey sandwich, with 50 kids walking through twice a day it gets taken out easily. So, and of course this happened without pre-arrangement because I'm a forty year old man who doesn't talk to kids, what we've ended up doing lately is making it easier on everyone by taking a gym and leaving 1-2 low cp mons. It's been freaking hilarious, and has happened several times today with all three teams. I currently own the gym with my 11cp wooper reigning supreme Drunk Nerds fucked around with this message at 04:22 on Mar 2, 2017 |

endlessmonotony posted:No difference. I do notice a difference when I'm slowly meandering when it's nearly 1:1 but if I'm walking at a brisk pace it's nowhere close, battery saver or not. That's too bad. I do a jog, albeit a slow one (~4-5 mph)

Sebadoh Gigante posted:You're just now figuring out Karping? Anyway, if you want to also make it easier for people on your team to train it up, put something at least 20 CP so they can get a prestige bonus for using pokemon under half the defenders CP (aka "bubble strat"). Haha yeah, I'm way behind. This is actually my first experience with the franchise, ever Thanks for the tip... does a prestige bonus just increase the gym rank, or does it come with a corresponding exp or candy bonus Or something?

How is everyone just like casually "oh I caught two lapras and a dragonoid and a leprechaun today?" Are you all using a scanner or am I just playing it wrong? I went all over nearby towns playing this game for most of the week, like nearly ten hours a day, and I've never seen anything rare spawn. Maybe I'm not high enough level(I'm 26)?

Thanks for the input/advice. Yeah I used to live in sf/Los Angeles but now I live in Lacey, WA. It's like 30% water but all ponds so I guess they don't show up even when I roll into Olympia/Seattle. And when I visit the in laws on puget sound it's so rural there aren't many spawns. Sucks that I am surrounded by water but not in the right way but, hey, oh well

Centzon Totochtin posted:Uh, I've missed up to 3 days in a row without it resetting before This is intriguing and I wish to unpack this more. Just to make sure..: you realize that catching a Pokémon every day is a separate "streak" than hitting a pokestop every day? like if I hit a pokestop for four days but catch a Pokémon for six days it will say "six day streak" but that doesn't refer to the pokestop streak? Because, as been mentioned, I've not seen any streaks continue after missing an entire calendar day

Wow best Pokemon day ever. First of all, I got to pop a lucky egg, which I haven't been able to afford in like 2 months (the gyms are tough around here, and I refuse to buy fewer than 8 eggs at once). Got ~92,000 exp. Would have probably cleared 100,000 if the app hadn't frozen halfway through. What's everyone else's records for exp from a lucky egg? Then, was taking my twin 4 year olds to the museum, but the parking lot was full. So I said "let's just drive around and see if we spot something to do." Just then, a snorlax appeared on the nearby screen. I've never had anything remotely good spawn like that, so we dropped everything and started looking for it. The picture clue was this angry cartoon muffler, which my kids loved searching for. We managed to find it. It's only ~175 cp, with zen headbutt and earthquake. I don't konw the max IV yet, but it's gotta be less than 60 by how nonplussed the appraisal was. Don't care, I have nothing even close to that rarity of w/e it's called Then we drove a little more and found a park near the woods. So we wandered around the woods in the pouring rain trying to find all the picture clues. Caught the 8 Kabuto I needed to evolve it (obviously I'm going to wait until I pop my next lucky egg.)

Willsun posted:The most disheartening thing about gym battling for me is knowing that tons of people are cheating with GPS spoofing. I understand and honor if people tag team and kill a full gym I've helped build if they actually got their friends together and walked/drove out there to play. But when I'm standing there and there's no one else within the gym's distance and it's rising up in prestige and there's 2 or 3 enemies instantly getting into gyms, what's the point? Call me simple but I don't mind if there's turf wars going on and gyms are getting rocked back and forth and I would enjoy trekking back out to a gym we really want to hold if I know enemies are legit taking them back. It feels fun even if it's a stupid augmented reality location we're fighting over. But knowing that they can never truly block GPS spoofers really takes a lot of gas from this. There's a gym right next to my house that is also next to two bus stops. It's gotten so overrun with spoofers, that me (valor) and the instinct kids are practically on the same team: We just roll the mystic spoofers together, caring like 90% about stopping the spoofers and 10% about who actually gets the gym. That's not right. Plus at the end of the day its always been retaken by spoofers

The Mystic often just get lazy and instead of joining the fight, they come take our Instinct gyms instead and let Valor go unchecked. Spoofing as team Valor is so hypocritical I finally got a 10k hatch from my 11th 2k egg! A Lapras! So content right now

Willsun posted:Older people really like Pokemon Go even if they never played any of the main games before. They usually mean well and are just overly excited to be in a game that includes co-op with a lot of people for the first time. Some of them do need to chill tf out though because they're not good at walking the line between knowing it's just a game and "you're kinda scaring people." I'm 40, never played a single pokemon game before. I like Go because I'm always walking my hyperactive twin toddlers through parks and forests. Although I am socially well-adjusted, all the little kids I take down gyms with say so

Is there a way I can narrow down the IV when I'm given a range? Like my calculator says my Karp is 82-93%. If it's in the 90s I'd like to evolve it, but not in the 80s. Just a personal preference. Is there any way I could know for sure?

Hell naw i am not doing that. I feel like that's not accurate (that force quitting saves time). Every successful force quit to save ~5 seconds feels like it would be offset by the inevitable force quit followed by "login error: retry?" x50

Zero communication regarding any pokemon spawns (I wouldn't even really know how). I hike a lot and have traveled to several different biomes this year. I also really like sorting and tracking my mons, so I'm always walking the one closest to getting me a new evolve and stopping to catch ones that I need just a little more candy for a new evolve. The key, I think is, is that I have ZERO A-tier mons. No dragonites, Tyrannitars, none of that magikarp evolve, no blisseys. Oh, one snorlax, which just popped up on my radar one day. It's remarkably easy to get an extreme variety of useless trash mons Interestingly, I don't think a lot of my novel mons have come from eggs. Is there a way to tell how many new guys i've hatched?
