The Red Gyarados - Theorycrafting/Screenshots

[Elvow]

Sup guys, my name's Elvow and I started Magikarp Jump three days ago, here's my progress and story so far! I will keep this post up with updates from time to time. You can see all my screenshots below (or on my profile's Photo Album).
Hope you Enjoy! Feel free to comment and share your stuff! :)

P.S.:
So yeah.. Right Now I'm struggling on my next move... Got 600 gems and I hesitate between either Snorlax or Charizard? Or Whimsicott Cushion? Or Shaymin Plant? If you have any hints/tips/preferences/screenshots..? I'm Looking forward to hearing from you guys!
Considering I won't spend a dime on this game, I'm trying to know what's the best way to spend your Diamonds, as a Free-to-Play Player!

Anyways Here's my Story (Find it in my Album)

I'm currently Trainer Rank Level 15 with my Gen 11, 25/25 Magikarp - 131k JumpPower
Had one around 100k on Gen 10 but failed on the Heavy League Boss. I'm about to clear it right now. (Screenshots will be posted later on)

So here are few of my best memories of this journey, so far. XD

I just bought Charizard and I'm not sure how useful he really is...Maybe you should go for Snorlax or the Cushion.

Hi there, Soapyyy.
First of all I would like to say that I'm sorry if my choice of words ''Quack-Quacked'' in your ears. Hopefully it didn't ''Psyyyyyayayyayayyy'' too loud. Sincerely Sorry, Milady

It won't happen again, I ain't familiar to this website, nor it's community.
Hopefully you shall forgive me, eventually :)

By the way, thank you very much for giving me some feedback on Charizard.
I'm still wondering which one to get. Will have to read a couple more reviews and do some more maths till I'm convinced. I guess Chari is the best choice if you have a Slowpoke? as well. I guess resetting the Item Draw every 3h30 hours would be crazy, instead of a 12 hours cooldown. But I ain't sure I'll have enough Diamonds for both..? Anyways, well thanks a lot!

I got charizard instead of Snorlax because I'm eating the berries all the time anyway :p

Hi Johnny! How are you, buddy? Glad to hear you went for a Charizard, yet if your always picking berries (like you said) ; imagine how faster you'd level up with 10+ (up to 25 with full upgrades) every 50:00mins! :O I'm starting to realise that if you play for hours : go Snorlax. If you turn on App every once in a while for 3x training + 1 set berries + etc. : go Charizard. But as I was saying a little bit earlier, there's also the Decorations. The Advantage is that their bonus is permanent and not reliable on wether you play for hours or once in a while ; you get full bonus whenever you play. Anyways :)

TO CONCLUDE FOR TONIGHT : Here's a little update on my stuff! :)
_________________________________________________________________________________________

Gen 12 - Great League Battle #4 Win.

Gen 12 - Great League Battle #5 Loss, Sadly.

I will eventually post some more progress whenever I take time to transfer screenshots xD
Thank you guys for your opinions and your help. Hope to hear from you asap.

And Once Again, Sincerely Sorry Soapyyy. I'm just really expressive! - Like ; F***ing expressive!
(Just kidding ^.^ lol)

Hey there, I'm good, thanks for asking. Anyway, about snorlax...

When your pond is empty, the weakest berry will spawn in three seconds, this means it takes you 30 seconds for 10 berries to appear and right now my weakest berry is not that much weaker than my strongest berry and thus, I didn't feel like spending 500 diamonds for something I can do in 30 seconds.

The thing about Charizard is that it doesn't explicitly say what kind of items you get and future updates may feature even better items which Charizard would give, I imagine. That said, when Charizard gives you a purse of coins and you have a Magikarp with a bonus in coins you get lots, last time it gave me 8k in coins, which really helped me out.

Wow, Holy Cow! 8k Coins would be welcome to my pond! Haha
I only got a coin multiplier once ; once on my Shiny Karp (+60-80%) was really nice! :) Untill it turned into The Red Gyarados! Such a sad loss. Hopefully I'll quit getting those +50-60% Training Karps soon enough!

Feel free to keep me up to date with your discoveries/tips/hints/questions anytime, bro. I'm glad to see that I ain't the only nerd spending too much on this xD Haha. You've convinced me, just got my Charizard. I guess I'll try that! Got 236 coins, if I remember. What can eventually suck though, is getting a +1 Training Refresh after 12 hours of wait -.-

They should add a 1% chance to get that ''Diamond Digger'' thingy on our new friend :P

Hey no worries, I tend to swear a lot too, especially in English! It's not entirely forbidden here either, we just ask for sparse use of the word because Pok?mon attracts children and we want to keep this community fun for them as well. So no hard done! ^-^

And yeah, that is why I wasn't sure about Charizard. One training Soda every 12h is way not worth the 600 Diamonds I paid him. Yet I hoped he gave Skill Restores. I know he can also give large bags of money however! So maybe he isn't that bad ^-^;

From my experience, Charizard will give you one of the items available in the shop that you can buy for diamonds (Training Soda, LP Restore, Purse of Coins, etc.) and it does come in handy when I can use Charizard, then Slowpoke, then Charizard again. Snorlax's berry ability is somewhat lackluster, but the cooldown is great, and Snorlax is also needed for a post training event that can fully restore your training points as well, so take that for what it's worth.

Yay!
