Pokemon go thread #3

Also, is there a strategy to being able to defeat a high level Blissey?

their HP is so high it is ridiculous.

Unless you have either a god like Rhydon or Vaporeon, I swear you can't defeat them within the time limit

 

[AfroThunder396]

Try Solar Beam Exeggutor. I've also had fairly decent success taking down Snorlax with Fire Blast Arcanine, and my Arcanine has taken down a few moderate Blisseys that were weakened by something else.

 

[Afino]

Yeah SB Eggs is my go to

 

[mouser]

I should probably start spending some Stardust...

Damn I have like 9 dratini candies never see them anywhere

 

[Carolinas Identity*]

I found a wild Dragonite, and hatched two Dratini's. Haven't seen another dragon since.

There's a guy I play Magic with twice a week who has literally like a dozen Dragonites and they're all huge. It's insane.

 

[mouser]

Hatched a 100% IV Rhyhorn. Evolved him and got the ideal Mud Slap / Stone Edge moveset. That's one place for some dust to go.

I still have no idea how it is possible to just have 300 Dratini candy just sitting around idly

Do you live on a nest or something?

a) Dratini don't nest

b) it's entirely possible if you hatch a bunch or go to water biomes, where they tend to spawn the most

I got all that candy long ago when Dratini nests existed, then never caught a single one since. Every Dratini I had caught was junk, so been waiting 6+ months to hatch a good enough Dratini to evolve. Didn't want to just evolve a junk one knowing theres no sign of more candy upcoming in the future.

Of course after evolving my Dragonite got a crappy moveset, grrr. Waiting for another good Dratini now to evolve a second one.

On a related note, egg odds have changed. Dratini will now hatch from 10k eggs at a significantly higher rate then they did pre gen 2--they appear to be in the most common rarity tier now, where before they were in the rarest tier. Lots of Pokémon switched egg rarity tiers when gen 2 came out.

Less than 2,000xp from level 29

I see a lot of players emerged from their winter caves to take down level 10 gyms over the weekend.

 

[GabeTravels]

I took down a Level 10 gym by myself this weekend. All Pokemon in there were 3000+, including 2 Blissey (DAMN they take a while). Also have had 2 Pokemon in Level 10 Gyms for 3 weeks now.

Here I am with my highest CP Pokemon at around 2600. Thankfully, Solar Beam Exeggutor works pretty well...and a 1400 CP Cloyster destroys Dragonite as long as you can dodge the powered up move.

Finally hit Level 29.

Also saving all my 10km eggs until I get 9 of them, then I'll walk 'em all off at once. I have 7 currently.

 

[Retrocity]

I got knocked out of 5/12 gyms Sunday into Monday. I think 4 were level 10 and one level 9.

One got trained up by instinct to level 10 pretty quick. The ones that frequent this particular area (a park) are quick to train a gym once its taken down but generally only one or two players from the team will actually take the gym down unless its low level. I'm pretty sure one group is a family and the parents play all their kids accounts. You see two people and the gym all of a sudden has 5 or 6 pokemon in it.

Luckily, another mystic player showed up while I was there on lunch and we took it down pretty quick.

Saaaaaaame. Hoping to get the 9 by Easter....

The 10 was kinda weak. Still took me 35-40 minutes.

 

[Carolinas Identity*]

My Solar Beam Exeggutor is only CP 913. My big one got Psychic :'(

I do have a pretty big Tangela that has Solar Beam though.

 

[mouser]

Rumors running around an Easter event should be announced at any time with double XP and more rare pokemon showing up in eggs.

 

[Pharrell Williams]

Pokemon Go to the polls.

This would be nice

 

[Afino]

More rares in eggs while I'm stacking up 10k's? Ugh.

Caught a wild Tyranitar today

Lucky. The most exciting thing I caught today was a Gastly

 

[mouser]

Easter event info is up, starts at 1PM PDT for exactly one week.

- Double XP
- Lucky Eggs at 50% discount in shop
- Greater variety of pokemon found in 2km eggs.
- More candy from hatched eggs.

So looks like no special rarity bonuses for 5km or 10km eggs.

 

[Retrocity]

I'm curious to see what they're going to add to the 2k eggs and also if it means 2k eggs will be more common than 5k during the event.
Been saving coins so I have a ton for incubators.

 

[CloudReader]

Arrrggg. Spending incubators on 2 km eggs.

Wait til the additions to 2k eggs are Pineco lol.
