I was wondering why pacing around in a large minute long circle yielded little to no results when I played at work.....i

One time my game glitched during a gym battle and my 6 pokemon showed as 9999 Charizards. My phone freaked out b4 i cud screenshot

seen that glitch, its great.

10 years ago | Likes 10 Dislikes 2

I think I've been using circles wrong. I've been waiting to throw when the colored circle is biggest. Now I just feel dumb.

I thought I was going to get some misinformation that was going to clarify things for me.

Do you have a source for the displacement hatching? I know it was theorised, but never saw definitive proof

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

My friend swears up & down that there are "tons of Kangaskhan" in our area of Mi, despite the regional differences. He exaggerates though.

Shouldn't matter If you're going in a straight line. if it pings every min, any distance/angle between the 2 points is a straight line.

Just play the damn game

I do, i just also spend time at home helping other people that want to play the game.

If I want the strongest CP pokemon, do I have to evolve from base form? Or does it make no difference to catch it in final evolution?

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Every pokemon encountered has hidden "Internal Values" (atk, def, sta) that don't change even when you evolve them. This determines max CP.

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Like would a dratini evolved up to a dragonite have a higher max CP than a dragonite I caught in the wild?

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

If you catch a final evolution with a full CP bar its just as good as if you evolved it yourself.

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I don't know the answer, but for comparison, i'd use this http://pogotoolkit.com/ as a rough guide

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Weren't people hatching eggs by putting their phones on toy trains going round a circuit? But that goes against the straight line distance.

10 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 1

Yeah I heard that too. It didn't work for me. I don't believe the straight line is real. Because if I am I a car going fast it still counts

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

I heard people hatching them with fans too.

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Since I still haven't played, every time I see someone talk about "CP" I start worrying a LOT.

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Its just cheese pizza.

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

I saw a Charizard with question marks above his head where the CP usually is. Caught it 3 times but it busted out a dashed :(

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

The ??? Means its above what you can normally catch at your level, they are usually pretty hard to catch expecially a Charizard.

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Ahhh I see .. Yeah I think I was maybe like level 5 or 6 at the time I wasn't surprised my regular pokeballs wouldn't catch it. still sad :(

Anyone else have balls fly wacky after using rapsberries?

10 years ago | Likes 67 Dislikes 0

Yes.

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

I thought it was just me throwing the ball badly. Because sometimes I use my thumb and I'm not used to it cuz I use my index mostly

10 years ago | Likes 10 Dislikes 0

hmm I said this to someone earlier today. Maybe I'm not crazy

10 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

Mostly with my greatballs

10 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

Best way I've found to offset the random curve is to throw a curve ball on purpose. Seems to offset the "difficulty" of the pokemon.

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

If you have a raspberry, curve the ball.

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 1

Razberries curve your ball. So just intentionally curve your ball by spinning it and adjust for the curve on your own

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Spin the pokemon ball, and throw at a diagonal. Once you learn distance, they become homing missiles.

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Yeah. It's really annoying. Anyone know how to prevent this?

10 years ago | Likes 8 Dislikes 0

It's somehow thinking that you're throwing curve balls, so throwing actual curve balls helps a lot...

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Ive just been deleting raspberries

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 1

A trick I use it I swipe down / away from a Pokemon in a straight line followed by a steady swipe up. Think of a bowling ball pitch.

10 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

It's helped me reduce that annoying magic curveball to space bullshit

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

...but not "flicking" the pokeball as hard seems to help for me. You can actually see it start shining when you pick the ball up.

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Well, and if you move the ball around, too, but limiting me to 140 characters isn't helpful.

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

I read it's a coded effect to make your next ball a curve ball. If it's intentional, *shrugs*

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

idk how reliable this information is. My friend that would never lie to me saw a Mewtwo. How do you explain that?

10 years ago | Likes 58 Dislikes 5

He's using that as an example of someone being gullible saying that

Notice that I didn't put it in quotes...

My friend caught an Arceus but accidentally transferred it when he opened it up to show me. I felt so bad I bought him like 20 lucky eggs.

10 years ago | Likes 16 Dislikes 4

That isn't even in the game

10 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 2

It is, it just makes you gain exp faster instead of your Pokemon. Pretty nifty.

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

No, I meant Arceus. Lucky eggs are great!

I think you're able to make an account and add money to it without an iPhone at apple.com, or you can just buy them an iTunes gift card.

holy shit that is a bright yellow

People in the first post said they hated the font so i made it more yellow.

10 years ago | Likes 11 Dislikes 1

They said they hated the font so you changed the color? I'm just going to say those are two different things

10 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

Yeah i realised what i screwed up in that sentence, people hated the colors so i made it more yellow.

Aah, ok

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

So the 20mph thing was bullshit? We have to be moving slower than 11mph/18kph?

10 years ago | Likes 47 Dislikes 2

It was supposed to be 20 km per hour, not miles. Which is about on point with the 300 m/60 sec, which converts to about 18 kph or 11mph.

10 years ago | Likes 30 Dislikes 0

Explains why cycling doesn't work for me. Rarely dip below 16mph

Do you have to have the app open or does work if I have my phone locked in my pocket?

10 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 3

Open app, turn on energy saver, turn phone upside down. Helps some.

10 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Thanks

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

It has to be open. The app does nothing locked.

10 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

It's def not bullshit. I get ALL of my distance from driving. I've hatched several eggs and I drive 20-25 mph while in residential areas

10 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

City blocks are only about 100m and if there's a stop on every corner that would work well!

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Right but if you aren't driving in a straight line, that changes things

10 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

Which is why I specified residential areas, bc while op's info may not necessarily be wrong, neither is the speed.

10 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

10 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

I play while I running and can certainly run farther than 300 meters in 60 seconds

10 years ago | Likes 8 Dislikes 18

upvoting to correct for the fact that this is plenty reasonable, but not for long er "going for a run", more for short workouts.

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Looking forward to seeing you in Rio next week then buddy

10 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

At my fittest in the military I was doing 5km in 18 min. Which averages 240m a minute. How far are you running at this speed?

10 years ago | Likes 10 Dislikes 0

they could be on track or something, that would be quite reasonable for a high school 1 mile race or so

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

at exactly 300m per 60 seconds its roughly 5:20 mile. I've definitely seen that time during 5k (for sure not me) but still pretty fast.

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Also you were probably carrying significantly more than this guy. Even in just shorts and shoes you probably had a 40 pound muscle more

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Average jogging (male) speed is about 8mph. Are you sprinting?

10 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

As a long time runner, that seems pretty fast. 7:30/mile isn't an "easy" pace for extended running for most folks

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

I just googled it.

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Sorry, not doubting it. Just seems fast based on my experience with others. Guess it depends on the distance they based this off of

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

That's ~3 football fields in 60 seconds...

10 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 1

Unless youre in a good shape I doubt that. Because that would mean that youre doing 3600m in the 12min cooper test and thats really good.

10 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 1

Not saying you could do it consistently but 300m in 60sec isn't that hard. I'm fat and out of shape and could still do it easily

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 2

Yes but if you think about the game, theres no point in running 300m full speed if you die after that of exhaustion. Youll never hatch eggs.

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Mine registered when I drive 15mph around my neighborhood

10 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

If your neighborhood is broken into city blocks w/stop on every corner, that's only 100m between stops giving the app time to catch up :D

10 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

This could be because it doesn't measure how fast you're going but the straight line distance from your starting ping

10 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Also a possibility, thank you for not being a douche about it

10 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

That I doubt. I've gone on bike rides between 12-15 mph. Does nothing till your lower than 12.

Believe what you want my eggs hatch

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 1

You need your speedometer fixed.

I've hatched a lot of eggs just driving around my neighborhood going 15-20mph I haven't walked anywhere for pokemon.
