Pokemon Go

In a way, yes. 

 

In a more accurate way, no. 

 

EDIT: about the Mew.

caught a 14/14/14 Machop but it's only lvl 1 so it'll take a shitload of candy and dust to be useful. Am I right in picking pretty much any 15 attack Machamp to focus on instead?

 

 

15 with good other stats will be functionally better for much much less candy and dust.

 

1 less attack typically means needing one or two extra levels of power up to get to the same damage output breakpoints. So, a 14 isn't much worse, but from lvl 1 it's painful although dust and candy are only really costly over level 30)

Thanks

 

Ah bugger, thought I was special.

My mother in law has a Mew.

Also the power output between a level 40 and 30 Mon is really tiny - I think it's 2% or something. There's not a lot of point levelling something up past 30.

how do I get a mew?

[stoofle]

Tap on the quests icon, and swipe over to the side that says 'special research '. There are 8 stages to do. Some of them you'll have done already (get gold on a certain badge, get to a certain level) and complete as soon as you get them, but others such as catching a ditto need to be done after you've reached that stage of the research.

That a 7 day streak Gold gym? 

 

I got 47 items from a silver gym in my 7 day streak earlier this week. Sadly wasn't close to any ones I'm gold in to see how much more I could have got.

yeah, I think you can get even more if it's your 10th spin but I dunno if it's the 10th spin that day or the 10th spin of that particular gym or what

[thesnwmn]

Its funny, I know people who every week get into a gold gym and make sure that's their 7 day spin to maximise items. Which is crwzy when they've driven passed so many stops and gyms that if they'd just spun them they'd needn't have gone anywhere near as far to get as many items. Psychology is weird.

[Azrael]

I usually try to get a gold gym spin on my 7 day streak now but with 8 that I can easily get to (and another 3 further out) it's usually just as easy as it would be for getting a regular stop. 

 

 

Thought I'd try to solo a Hitmonlee raid earlier but as I got to it there were two people that were just getting timed out on it (both of them being level 25) so I joined them  to do it instead. Love being able to help others on this. 

[Girth Certificate]

Got another Ex-raid pass, second time I've raided at that gym, second time I've got a pass there. I'm relying on a colleague's wife holding in her baby to be able to go though, really wish they were at the weekend.

[Azrael]

Yeah, I've got another one too. 3rd one in the last couple of months. But again I'm not sure I'll make it due to the inconvenient time

Does gym progress reset after a while?

 

I popped a Pokemon in a gym that appeared silver in my badges, but immediately reset to bronze with 0 hours 0 minutes.  Does anyone know how long this takes, and how to stop it happening?  I guess I need to put Pokemon in all of my gold gyms regularly to keep the gold badge?

did the pic / description / location of the gym change slightly? Apparently if they update them it becomes a new gym

Yes. Just checked my history, it is a new gym.  I rarely pay attention to the description / picture.

The old gym was a fountain that is in the middle of a roundabout.  It's in a retail park and easy to hit from the neighbouring car park.

There was a Pokestop next to it, in a recycling part of Tesco's car park.

The fountain gym is now gone.  The Tesco's car park Pokestop is now the gym

It's called  'Recycling sign'  

 

Just did a weather boosted Tyranitar raid during my lunch.   It's my 12th Ttar, and finally one with more than 89 IV, and it's oh so close to perfect, really happy:

CP 2615, 98&% IV  15/15/14

Calcy iv gave my perfect Poochyna a rather unfortunate short form name.

Does nice, great, excellent and/or curve ball increase likelihood of catching the Pokemon?

[Girth Certificate]

Yeah significantly. There’s stats and graphs and stuff on the Silphroad website. Off the top of my head a great throw is 50% more likely not to run away, maybe

100% Gastly over weekend from local park

Here you go. 

 

 

[MrPogo]

So hitting the circle and getting, "Nice", "Excellent!" etc doesn't also make a difference?

[Starbreaker]

Yes. Sorry, didn't realise that pic only added the curveball modifier. I tend to aim for Great (I've heard whispers that the Excellent modifier doesn't work properly) curveballs - definitely throw curves every single time. 

[TehStu]

That's some nicely inferred data considering the variability of the input action. Interesting read, ta.

[Girth Certificate]

I wish there were more Evee evolving tricks or the name thing worked every time. If I get another Jolteon I'll cut someone.

[Starbreaker]

It does work every time doesn't it? I've always got what I've aimed for.

Only the first time for each one. Sounds like you’ve just been ridiculously lucky.

[Azrael]

If you've done the name trick for  Espeon or Umbreon but want another of either of them you can walk an Eevee as your buddy for 10k, then evolve it at night for Umbreon or in the day for Espeon.
