I thought that but you soon start catching much higher level Pokemon as you level up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 868, that's cute. It's worth keeping in mind that you get to use 6 of your pokemon to attack the gym. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted July 18, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted July 18, 2016 Also you get 6 of your pokemon to beat any pokemon at a gym. And as a rule of thumb you can beat a higher CP pokemon than yours (not always, but a lot of the time) So if the gym is held by one 868 pokemon you could probably take that with 6 pokemon all around 100CP. My gf took a gym tonight (her first) held by a 600+ CP pokemon and she only had 2 pokemon over 100CP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saying that it may already be being exploited unless some people are either spending far too much time and money on this game, as some of the gyms in Nottingham are protected by insanely high level Pokémon. I don't think I'll ever have a chance. It's performed pretty well for me today but I did see my first Pikachu only for the game to crash when I caught it. It didn't count when I rebooted That said I did catch a Slowpoke, a second Squirtle, an Eevee and a Horsea on my bike ride home today. I did fall off my bike at one point due to being distracted by my phone, think I've bruised my ribs. My own stupid fault I suppose. Will it stop me? Nope. Fo' real - the gyms in Nottingham centre have stupidly high Pokemon on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although i do feel your pain my other 10km hatch was a god damn Jynx, which i have had 10 or so of already and it doesnt evolve. GRrrrrr Ahhh that makes a lot more sense! Thanks! Now I have a Flareon which is my most powerful Pokemon. I take back everything I said! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can, attack a gym with a pokemon that does double damage, and you'll have no problems. Plus you can try to dodge attacks, although this isn't as easy as they make it look online.

Yep, my housemate catches the bus to work down a main road, so there are Pokestops **** everywhere on his way, then he can access 3 pokestops from his work lunchroom because he's in the Adelaide CBD. He's almost overtaken a week of work for me after about 2 days. There is definitely a huge bonus from living or working in a densely populated area.

Ginko Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 I work next to a historical landmark that hasn't been made a Pokéstop. I sent Niantic a request to make it into one yesterday since my workplace is currently situated in no-pokémon's-land Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dante_Lockhart Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Caught a CP226 Eevee last night. Highest thing I've caught. Hopefully catch a few more today so I can evolve her. Also had a decent night. Caught a Jynx (Did catch a Staryu but it froze and didn't count. Still comes up on my 'seen' Pokemon though ¬_¬), hatched a Sandshrew and evolved Ratatta. I'm nearly level 9 but I got told I get an egg that doubles XP then, so holding off evolving Kakuna and Metapod until then. Few more Zubats too and I'll have me a Golbat.

Stevo985 Posted July 19, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted July 19, 2016 Yeah a lucky egg doubles XP. Good plan to stock up a couple of evolutions and then use them when you've got a lucky egg active. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Bloody caught a high level eevee todqay three times and the thing crashed when i caught it. yesterday was wierd i caught a machop and a machoke right next to each other was great didnt even have to worry about evolving machop i have 58 in total now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 I'm only level 6, but this morning I went to the shop near work to buy cereal. Caught a Caterpie, Pidgey, Rattata & a Clafairy quite pleased with the little haul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely this. Think it needs some balancing and still incredibly buggy but it's still fun. not really had a chance to do gyms but it is crazy how tough some people already are. In Canary Wharf today and there is a snorlax that's over 1700cp...! Luckily it's my "team" but still. Would be nice to catch other Pokemon as well as starting to get pretty bored of Pidgeys/Rattatas!

bobzy Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 I'm catching every Pidgey I can find and waiting to get a "Lucky Egg". Pidgey only take 12 candy to evolve, and each evolution gives you 500 trainer XP, which a Lucky Egg doubles. XP FARMING TIME. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyrusr Posted July 19, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted July 19, 2016 Btw how is everyone finding the data usage? I've used less than I expected to be honest; seems to have been roughly 100-200mb over the last week or so and that includes everything else. I thought it would eat it all up in a few days...

Davkaus Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 It's used 275mb for me, in a week of fairly heavy use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
