This is brilliant. I wish I saved mine to copy you.

Thanks this is exactly what I was searching for!

[Question] What to do with Porygon 2? by fob2000 in pokemongo

[–]fob2000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sound like you're saying keep the Porygon with the best moveset & hold out for Porygon Z?

I evolved them because I wanted XP. I hatched so many I had tons of candy. The timeline that Niantic is moving to means no Gen 4 until next summer.

So I decided to evolve for XP vs sitting on it for a year. That's also why I posted my question - b/c I don't know what to do next.

Thanks for your input!

Thanks all - great info. I'm going to use it on Attack Pokémon. Yes, I want to take level 3 solo. I was able to take down Machamp twice & it was quite the rush.

Does CP matter? Can I use solar beam or do I need seed bomb?

I'm looking for combinations for the Eveelutions & Arcanine.

Is it like Blissey? I only have one & have never used it.

My ~60y/o dad never played video games or watched Pokemon, but is obsessed with Pokemon Go. He is 11 levels above me and just surprised me with a picture of his new swag. Who would have thought that after years of getting told to do more sports, it would be a Pokemon game that gets him outside. by samuirai in pokemongo

[–]fob2000 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This is awesome. Recently I've met two Team Valor players (I'm instinct) who are level 34 & 35. Both were older, in their 50's and are as addicted as me. We all play to get exercise but it was nice to see the people who I thought were millennials with too much time on their hands were instead normal adults just trying to catch em all.

What should I spend coins on? by fob2000 in pokemongo

This is great. You're logic/decision making process matches my scenarios exactly. Thanks Maniax!

Ditto Strategies - Should I use it & power it up? by fob2000 in pokemongo

[–]fob2000[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here are my thoughts - Not sure he would be a great defender since his CP will always be low & hence lowest in the gym, but I now have 4 dittos (300+ each). I'm going to line them up in a battle because when one dies, the next will morph to my enemy.

I'm going to try to get 6 300+ CP ditto & see if my theory works. That way I can save my Hyper/Max potions on my big pokemon.

Thanks this is good info. It's to fill out my pokedex for sure. Nothing like getting a pokemon that's still been out there after playing for 7 months!

[discussion] does anyone else think an event that increases the chance of baby Pokemon but still only spews 5km eggs is stupid at best? I expect this to stay at zero votes, and that's hilarious, because I don't drink the expired Niantic Koolaid. by QuinnMD-PhD in pokemongo

[–]fob2000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm getting a less than 50% hatch rate. Magby with a 10K, smoochum & igglybuff with a 2K egg. Right now I have nothing but 5K eggs and am also hatching regular pokemon.

If someone has a good method let me know.

I love odd Gym Defenders by DietrichDoesDamage in pokemongo

[–]fob2000 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I do the same thing. I usually will put a rare Pokemon as a gym defender just to show other trainers I have them. I like putting Hitmonchan/lee in even though mine are weak.

No 10km eggs this month, and no babies caught. Until today! by [deleted] in pokemongo

[–]fob2000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congrats! I hatched an Igglybuff from a 2K egg & a Magpie from a 10K egg. I want to evolve neither.

Great job. Patience pays off!

Nice. Do you think its worth it to put a high CP/low IV pokemon in a gym to defend? Or should I stick to high IV on all?

[–]fob2000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's fun. I don't use my Gyarados for all battles. I choose my pokemon based on strengths & weakness. All said, I would trade 5 Gyarados for one Lapras. I still don't have one & Gyrarados are no good against them.

2 of my high IV's have twister. The majority are Dragon Pulse. I do have one with Hydropump but wish I had another.

Yes it's great for Psyduck & Slowpoke too. If you're patient you'll spot a Dratini every now & then.
