In my experience, pokemon hatched from eggs are always level 20. Is this true? I am level 28 now.

I heard hearsay that this may be true, and I've seen what, in the game, might indicate it is. Could be confirmation bias though.
A) You throw a ball and it hits the Pokemon but hits outside the shrinking ring. The ring is large at the time. B) You throw a ball and it hits the Pokemon but hits outside the shrinking ring. The ring is tiny at the time. I have heard hearsay that B makes capture more likely than A. True? False? |

Personally I have not experienced which is best at all. For instance today trying to catch a Gastly
1) First ball Great Ball with a Razz Berry smack in the middle of orange circle and with Great Throw, it broke free. 2) Second Ball Great Ball again with a Razz smack in the middle once again with Great Throw, it broke free. 3) Third Ball this time Ultra Ball again with a Razz in the middle of the small circle and with an Excellent Throw, it broke free. 4) it poofed off. I experience this a great deal and waste of 3 good poke balls and Razz Berries. To me it doesn't seem to matter if the poke ball is in the small or large circle. On the above attempts it should have been caught first attempt. I think its a ploy to empty your bag quicker in a hope you will buy more balls. If you are in a location as I am with only a few Poke stops within a walking distance this makes the game very frustrating. I now if a Pokemon breaks free the first time I walk away from it due to the lack of poke stops to refill up easily. Probably only once a week I can be a passenger either in a car or on a bus to refill up, otherwise I am the one driving. |
Ammo fights happen. They happen more if I'm tired. I've had them with Growlithes, one Scyther, a Hypno, and more Vennonats and Gastlies than I can count. I blame myself for being a bad shot. I have poor fusion and zero depth perception. Just keep walking you buddy and hatching your eggs. Don't buy anything. For what it is worth, with Gastlies it is good to use a relatively flat pitch starting out a bit higher, but of course I'm still an awful shot. |

P.S. I kinda disagree -- in my experience, timing throws for small circles is less important than timing throws right after a Pokemon has finished an animation. See, timing throws for small circles often has the Pokemon block your shot, or jump over it. tl;dr, Aiming for a great multiplier is moot if the Pokemon dodges. |

Hitting the Pokémon inside the capture ring only nets you the capture bonus (Nice, Great, Excellent). Your priority is the size of the ring, first and foremost, every time. Again, that's just how the game is programmed. People have already mined the data for this. |

Is Farfetch'd really available in "Asia"? Or "within Asia"? The only reported case so far where it was caught were Japan and South Korea.
Last time I checked, my home country, the Philippines is still part of Asia. None of the PH players I know thinks that the PH pokedex is 142 but 141 excluding Farfetch'd. How does other Regional pokemon spawn location works? Especially Mr. Mime if it spawn all over Europe or only selected parts of Europe? |

I'm level 29. Can somebody explain why, if I power-up a pokemon all the way, it goes to level 30.5? Is it always your level plus 1.5?

Also you may have noticed that after level 30, a Pokémon will only gain half the CP from a normal powerup (e.g. a Dragonite will gain on average 44-50 CP per powerup until level 30, after which it will only gain about 22-25 CP per powerup). |
Is asking about a GPS hack against the rules?
I would like to get my wife some Pokémon from other areas of the world |

That's an honest warning. And on a more personal level, I am strongly against it. This is coming from someone who did travel overseas and caught exclusives the right way. |
why did niantic fix the sniping for battling rival gyms only? so often ive gotten my spots taken by a-holes after training up gyms. yesterday, after working on a gym for over 15 minutes, i just needed 600 points or so. you can guess what happened next. training up gyms is so hard since the update, they shouldve done the fix on the friedly gyms first.

I have a Machoke with move set: Karate Chop / Cross Chop. If I evolve it to Machamp, what are the odds it will keep the same move set?

So your chances are 1/6. |
There seems to be a new freezing glitch. It started recently. When I click my avatar in the left hand corner the entire screen freezes. If I click the box and erase the catch then openthe ap a window will pop up saying pokemon go isn't responding would you like to close it. The only way to unfreeze it is to restart the phone entirely. It used to sometimes freeze on the ball catching animation but never when clicking on my avatar n the corner.

I don't know if this was asked about yet or not already, but does anyone have any issues with spoofers in their towns? Every once in awhile, this team of Instinct-ers come about and put themselves into gyms (even when no one is around, trust me, my BFF and I experienced it when we were the ONLY ones near a gym).
It's ridiculous and not fair. I just am wondering if anyone else ever had an experience with a spoofer? |
I'm sorry if this double posts, but...

I get the white spinning pokestop a lot too, usually that happens if the game is closed for awhile then I open it again by a pokestop, there will tend to be "ghost" Pokémon as well, aka Pokémon that spawned previously, stayed for the 10 minute spawntime then despawned but left behind a empty shell of themselves and if you click on it they tend to disappear and you get an error message. Sometimes a new Pokémon will spawn in the same spot so you have mutant Weedlenat's and Pidgetta's. Or 2 headed Weedle's.
I've also had pokestops where I spin them and they stay blue and don't give any items, but if I shut off the game and reload it they are now purple and the items are in my inventory. If I don't shut my phone off I can still collect the next pokestop fine but the one that stayed blue never gives those items. There has been countless freezing glitches with the game since I got it in July, but this new glitch just started recently. Like a week ago. And it's definitely the most annoying. |
I've also gotten that a lot too suddenly (clicking avatar icon freezes the game). First time I got it was after taking over a gym, a rare event for me. =( I presume it's a glitch introduced by the newest update, so hopefully the next one fixes it.
