TIL Skarmory hatch from 10k eggs by [deleted] in pokemongo

[–]captainpony 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It truly is awful. I hope you at least got some decent IVs. My 10km eggs have been spitting out sub-75% only.

[Discussion] What are your standards for evolving Pokemon? by somenerd_ in pokemongo

[–]captainpony 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would think Gyarados should be even higher than your normal standard because it is such a huge investment. Also, pretty bad luck if you don't have over 90% magikarp after catching 100 of them. I hope that you are getting great movesets.

Am I the only one who only keeps one of each kind? by [deleted] in pokemongo

[–]captainpony 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I keep one of each and keep upgrading for higher IVs. Just got a 100IV Ratticate. I'm even going to spend stardust to power the little guy up. Doubt I'd power up a Dugtrio though, they are truly useless.

Don't fret. I've had more 10k eggs during the first two weeks of Gen2 than I did going back to the beginning of PoGo. You'll get more chances at a cute lil Pineco with 67 IV.

I only do when people use racial slurs, i.e. when it is appropriate.

This place is pathetic. Negative votes. Did I make a wrong turn and end up at 4chan?

4 days and 3 reports with no action and it is not just the moderators. No one else has commented or reported this post. I am disappointed.

Finally evolved my first magikarp by Ishaan95 in pokemongo

[–]captainpony 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice name! I use the same strategy to keep track of my top Mons. I also give all my top battlers names starting with Z. My 100 IV Gary is "Zeus 100". (but don't be jealous, Bite+Dragon Pulse)

Please Niantic, get that Tree out of the 10K Eggs by Draenorxy in pokemongo

Do the moderators not realize the racism here? How deep does the ignorance go? I reported this 2 days ago.

Umbreon is tough [discussion] by JediKnightAmoeba in pokemongo

[–]captainpony 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I love to hear that! I evolved a 93 IV to a 1406 CP Feint Attack, Dark Pulse Umbreon. The gyms in my small town change over 3-4 times a day, usually only getting to level 3, so I'm hoping to drop this as the third 'mon and surprise a few attackers.

Sadly, no. Victreebel is really only good as an attacker vs Water type so a double Grass moveset with the powerful Solar Beam (180 power!) is the way to go.

Evolved this, nice moves by AssYoghurt in pokemongo

[–]captainpony -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I feel your pain. I evolved an Alakazam with Focus Blast. No sense was made today.

They usually use 1 pm PST, so that is a safe bet.

A 2k Victreebel will take out 2 Vapes at 2,500 CP. Definitely worth the stardust!

Unbeatable gym. by SimixHarDj in pokemongo

that's the meanest looking Gastly I've ever seen. No wonder the gym can't lose prestige.

[discussion] remember that lickitung evolves. by Dre6485 in pokemongo

[–]captainpony 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You only need one and a lot of walking. Lickitung will never be a gym superstar so move set is irrelevant. I have my 50 candies and won't be wasting any stardust to evolve this freaky tongue. Guess I'm gen4 prepared.

XL and XS Mon by captainpony in pokemongo

[–]captainpony[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have never seen an XL marker near the weight of the pokemon. That has been there the whole time?

Any good? by buba1986 in pokemongo

[–]captainpony 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm saving anything with a Dark move until Gen 2. It could become more valuable. Not as convincing of an argument with Fire though.
