Eerongal he/him Posted July 22, 2016 Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 On 7/21/2016 at 7:45 AM, Mestiv said: Not when there is this big power difference :/ I tried fighting water type with grass type. Managed to get it to 80% health before my Pokémon fainted. Also, my strongest pokemon is just flying type and most gyms have water or normal type pokemons on them, so that doesn't help that much. FYI, dodging is really important. Not necessarily dodging regular attacks, but if you dodge their special attacks, it makes a pretty big difference. Whenever you see "So-and-so used <move>!" you should begin swiping like a madman. I've taken down a number of gyms with pokemon far below the level of the defending pokemon. That said, CP really stops mattering to an extent after about 600~700 or so. if you're under 500 you will probably have issues taking things down, but once you get to around 700~ish it's pretty easy to take out just about anything. I took out several gyms with things around 1100~1700 with just a few 700's. As far as typing and stuff goes, the typings actually don't matter as much as they do in normal pokemon games. Type advantage = 1.25x damage, and disadvantage = .8x damage. This is a far cry from the original double/quadruple or half/quarter in normal pokemon games. It's actually entirely possible to deal more damage not-very-effective move than a super effective move with certain pokemon/attacks because their attack attack speed and such can make up for it. Mud slap and water gun are two examples of good moves that attack particularly fast and can fairly often be preferable to a super-effective move. also: team yellow for the win! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darkness Ascendant he/him Posted July 24, 2016 Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 Everything about Pokemon Go seems to happen differently around my area. Pokestops take 5 minutes to reset, you can catch pokemon while driving without having to pull-over, as long as it's on the screen I can somehow catch them. On another hand, I went on a massive 30 minute spree today! Someone set up two lure modules around my area and I went out, activated incense as well as a Lucky Egg. Within that time I caught 32 Pokemon as well as....somehow a 600 CP...Oddish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orlion Blight he/him Posted July 24, 2016 Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 I finally caught a pikachu! It's weak, but I'm currently not trying to do much in the way of gym battles yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mix Posted July 24, 2016 Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 I often ride around on my bike, slower than a car but waaay faster than walking. I evolved my Magikarp yesterday, but most people over here have. It's brimming with Magikarp and other waterpokemon, really. What kind do you guys encounter most? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jondesu he/him Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 (edited) I didn't really intend to play Pokemon Go, even after I downloaded it (I was just curious how the AR part worked), but…I'm kinda hooked. For those that don't know, I have a massive headache that's gone 2.5+ years strong, fibromyalgia, fatigue, and a whole host of other issues, and frankly, I spend most of my days laying on the couch. Yesterday, after a night of insomnia, I got out of the house at 7AM and went for a ~2 mile walk. Today, at 2PM, I did the same thing in 94 degree weather (actually felt a lot cooler than I expected, because of a storm rolling in and a cool breeze with it). That's 4 miles, maybe closer to 5, in two days, when I doubt I walk a tenth of a mile in an average day. My Pokemon names, once I got clever (spoilered for length): Spoiler Pidgeot: Woody Eevee: Sparky (so he'll evolve into Jolteon) Cubone: Morbid Ratikate: Biter Poliwag: Mesmer Venonat: Bugeye Charmander: Flamey Tentacool: Ackbar Staryu: Starry Paras: Snips (like Ahsoka) Oddish: Turnip Zubat: Draco Bellsprout: Opium Caterpie: Aomushi (Japanese for caterpillar, and from the book はらぺこ あうむし, which is the Japanese translation of "The Very Hungry Caterpillar") Nidoran: Purple Rhino Bulbasaur: Tarzan Vulpix: Foxy jW Edited July 27, 2016 by Jondesu 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is how it works for everyone, so it's not differently for you. What people mean when they say you can't play in a car is that eggs won't hatch over a certain speed. (But of course, NEVER play while actually driving) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaymyth she/her Posted July 27, 2016 Report Share Posted July 27, 2016 Yes, if you turn off AR, it eases up on the CPU load considerably. It also makes the little boogers easier to catch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
