Should I keep let's say rattatas and not transfer them for candy in order to focus on evolving one of them, or have several evolved rattatas? What should I do?

Question about the gym runs: so you gather actual people in 3d who are in the same team as you and you drive to gyms trying to take them over? Or is it like a team you join within the pokémon go app?

A lucky egg is an item that doubles the XP you receive for one half-hour. So, if you save up a bunch of Rattatta instead of transferring them, you could then evolve them all at once. Evolving Pokémon nets you quite a bit of experience, and doing so while having a lucky egg initiated will double that. It's a nice little trick to get your trainer level up; I've done it a few times. Just be aware that lucky eggs don't come around that often, so use them wisely. Unless you plan on purchasing them.

What he means by taking down gyms with a team, is to physically round up a few friends who are on your team (Valor, Instinct, Mystic) and systematically wittle away the opposing gym's prestige. It's a good technique if you have the people and the time. There's currently no option to rally people within the app itself.

Worked hard to put together this in-depth Pokemon GO Trainer's Guide, for both beginners and advanced players! It covers just about everything there is to know about Pokemon GO, and even threw in a bit of humor that hopefully gets at least a chuckle out of you. Please check it out, let me know what you think, and help me on my #QuestForSnorlax! :D

Thanks for explaining! How do I get lucky eggs? Is it from the pokepoints?

You get them for leveling up; they are not rewards at Pokéstops, unfortunately.

Hopefully they will be more lenient on people with disabilities preventing them from going out and exploring. As long as people aren't teleporting all over the world in unbelievable time frames, it should be fine to spoof. It would also be helpful for people in rural areas with literally nothing there for them.

Hi everyone. Wrote an article on the growth of CP and HP per candy with some insight on evolution and dust requirements. Hope you guys enjoy it.

Pokémon Go on Nexus 7 with Wi-Fi
 
When you view Pokémon Go in the Google Play store on a Nexus 7 tablet (2012 or 2013), it says that it's not supported. Just letting people know if they don't already that the app does work. Download the APK for somewhere reputable (I got it off APKMirror), manually install it, and as far as I can tell it works fine.

If you're in an area with good Wi-Fi, like a college campus, you don't really need a smartphone or data plan either. I've found a few Pokémon nearby already, and apparently there's a gym not far off. I did not expect to be this excited over catching a Pidgey, but it's different when it's literally on the ground in front of you. :)

Pokemon GO Mythbuster: Egg Hatching Ceiling Fan Hack
 
After watching a few videos of people claiming that you can use a ceiling fan as a "hack" to hatch eggs, without ever moving yourself or leaving your home, I decided to put the claim to the test!

Using the ceiling fan in one of the bedrooms in my house, I used electrical tape and fastened it to the end of one of the blades, and let it run at three different speeds (low, medium, high). I then checked the distance traveled after each speed was tested for 10 minutes.

Check the video out to see the result! :D

I didn't watch the video, but I thought you had to be moving around the map for it to work

Mister Coffee July 17th, 2016 9:27 PM

Watched the video, it's interesting information to know, but I personally will never use this method.

Squirrel July 19th, 2016 1:04 PM

Have just seen a lot of discussion about the time of day related to Pokémon sightings - apparently there is no correlation at all between the time and what kind of Pokémon will spawn. Zubat and Gastly are day-dwellers too! What was interesting however is that apparently there are many spots where a certain species of Pokémon will spawn every single day at the same time. Look out for these!

working on a tips and tricks video. posting sooon.

Yes, the gyms are easily conquer and defended in group. However u dont need to group, people are actually doing in on their own.

TOP 10 TIPS that you don't want to miss!

Great news guys some Data Miners found some pretty nice stuff. So here is the link And this are the facts that you will find:
The Trainer Level Cap is 40.
Egg's cap at Level 20, so if you get an Egg at Level 37 it'll still hatch at the same quality as if you were level 20.
Wild Pokemon cap at Level 30, meaning after Level 30 everyone will find the same max CP Pokemon and it'll be a matter of spending the candy and stardust to upgrade them to your level's cap based on their CP arc.
There is an achievement/badge rank above gold.
Curveballs and Accurate Throws (Nice, Great, Etc) have been confirmed as helping with the capture chance of a Pokeball throw.
There may be future Incubators that reduce the amount of kilometers needed before they hatch. (There is an incubator called "distance" in the code)
Moves have an Accuracy and a Critical Hit Rate.
Each unique Pokemon has it's own Capture and Flee rate.
Move Damage may go up with Trainer Level.
Pokemon do become harder to catch as you level up.
Mewtwo, Moltres, Zapdos, Articuno are Legendary.
Mew is Mythic.
Farfetch'd is out there... somewhere. As is Ditto.
The Charge Meter is filled 0.5 for each 1 HP of damage dealt. This means a super effective move that does more damage will charge the special attack faster - that is actually really important to know.
To level from 39 to 40 takes FIVE MILLION EXPERIENCE, and going from 1 to 40 takes Twenty Million. On my best day I can get about one hundred thousand exp, maybe 125k. So that's like 3-4 months to go from 39 to 40. Won't be seeing that any time soon!
Pokemon have a base Attack, Defense and Stamina (HP) - thus they do not have a Attack and Special Attack stat like in the 3DS games.
Dragonite has the strongest base attack for non-legends, at 250.
MewTwo has a base attack of 284.
Moltres has the highest base attack of the three legendary birds.
Articuno has the highest base defense of the three.
Zapdos is almost as high as Moltres in base attack but is likely lower due to Type Advantage.
Pokemon have an evolution modifier AND a HP modifier when they evolve both CP and HP go up a set multiplier.
Defending Pokemon at a Gym attack every 1.5 seconds.
The Master Ball is in the game, no clue where it is found.
The Legendary Pokemon do have a spawn rate - BUT - they have no capture rate, could this mean they require a Master Ball?
STAB is present in the game, giving a 25% Bonus to an attack move. STAB stands for "Same Type Attack Bonus" and means if a Grass Pokemon uses a Grass move it will hit harder than if a Ground Pokemon used the same Grass move. This is a big deal confirmation.

wow thanks a lot for this

xMatthew July 30th, 2016 9:41 PM

Some interesting posts in this thread.

pkgo August 3rd, 2016 5:43 PM

Thanks for all these tips! I was able to get Pikachu as my starter Pokemon :)
Here's a tip for gym battles, use the "Coach for Pokemon Go" app! You get the weaknesses of the Pokémons you will fight in your notifications so you stay in the Pokemon Go app and just swipe your notifications when you need them.
It's free on Itunes.

Oh THAT'S what was up with that... I thought that there was just a low chance of getting lots more items.

I heard that to find what direction a pokemon is you select it in the pokemon nearby window so its the only one showing then scroll your screen in a circle slowly and when the compass needle is pointing in the direction of the selected pokemon it will flash a green light, i tried this and i got it to work, (with my wifi at home, my phone is too bad to process the signal fast enough on 4g though)

It's not possible to select Pokemon in the radar tab anymore, buddy. Not since the Sightings update a few days ago.
