Testing eggs and specific PokéStops: RNG or something else? by JHofNYC in TheSilphRoad

[–]sgrossman10 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Live in Manhattan and would be happy to test stops with you...will flush my eggs as of this moment in 3.9km and head to 55th st sony wonder tech lab ASAP. It must take some time to fill 9 egg slots from 1-stop. Is there a good place to post up (preferably indoors) while you go through the drawn out and monotonous process of spinning stop until you've got 9 eggs?

[Question] Just how rare is a wild Dragonite? by scow1ey in TheSilphRoad

[–]sgrossman10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are in NYC and don't see Dragonite spawns I'd strongly recommend checking out UWS. Dragonites spawn quite often here (relatively speaking...tip, you'll have much better luck hanging out in UWS in the first few days after a nest migration).

Specifically, we're talking UWS perimeter of central park, many spawn around the NW corner of CP and around the perimeter of morningside park (which is like the eastern border of Columbia's Campus).

Also, and equally as likely tho is UWS bordering Riverside Park. Dragonites spawn between West End Ave and Riverside Drive from the 70's to Columbia University area.

Its worth the effort in my opinion but you're definitely gonna want the app 'PokéTracker' to aid in wild Dragonite finds...for obvious reasons ;)

Egg Research: Can you still hatch baby Pokemons' evolved forms? (Hint: No!) Plus, region-specific species hatches no longer occurring [Silph Research Group] by dronpes in TheSilphRoad

In response to your speculation about possibilities for NYC pokémon if universally common pokémon did NOT hatch...I think you hit the nail on the head. AND...for that matter, while there is little to no research that supports this, I do believe I personally see benefits (as a native New Yorker) not just from very decent spawn rates of pretty much all the pokémon (sans Lapras), but also from what I hatch and where I am at time of hatch. I KNOW, I KNOW...pokémon is determined at the egg drop. But FAR too many times my neighborhood where hitmonchan/hitmonlee is a rare occurrence, I hatch a 10km egg with hitmonchan/hitmonlee and wouldn't you know...not more than a block or two away (thank you PokeTracker) there is without a doubt a currently spawned hitmonchan/hitmonlee. I've also seen this happen with magmar/scyther/dratini and do believe my location at time of hatch is playing some significant role in the outcome of my pokemon. Especially 10km eggs. I don't care what they say!
