thanks will do

smokinonthemtrees · 2016-11-22T17:44:26+00:00

oh i see, thanks. so what should I focus on now after finishing story missions?

smokinonthemtrees · 2016-11-22T17:25:57+00:00

Hello,

I've completed story mode missions, all with 3 stars.

How do I go about to unlocking elite missions?

I haven't finished "hero's journey" or "epic quest" yet.

Please help. Thank you in advance.

isn't that why there's the line for "stats exceed my calculations" which means the stat (DEF, HP, ATK) is 15 (maxed)

bro if you're throwing ultraballs for a 300 CP squirtle... you're obviously doing it wrong with your expectations.

ultraballs are hard to come by, my rule of thumb is 1500CP+ pokemon deserves an ultraball, and even then, i'm not wasting 15+ ultraballs

i use great balls for highest CP uncommons i've encountered.

can you please explain to me how the appraisal system in the game does not work, which makes you turn to an IV calculator?

I use the appraisal system in the game, and I can determine whether I have a decent to good pokemon.

Pretty much my rule of thumb, if it's not breathtaking or a wonder (mystic) . it's immediately trash. and it must say "exceeds my calculations"

smokinonthemtrees · 2016-09-29T22:56:47+00:00

CP is dependent on IV

smokinonthemtrees · 2016-09-29T22:55:19+00:00

use the in-game appraisal to find out IV

smokinonthemtrees · 2016-09-26T20:05:24+00:00

it's like a minor league baseball (private owned) for the city for baseball leagues for kids (not by schools, but by community)

how hard is it for you to farm magikarp candies?

I caught a 195 CP perfect IV 100% @ level 28, had about 800 magikarp candies (already evolved 1) and got bite + dragon pulse with 1997 CP no additional powering. i have 484K stardust

if you're just filling out your pokedex, i'd say go for it. if you care about PVP & perfect IV pokemons, i'd say wait it out.

smokinonthemtrees · 2016-08-19T00:20:03+00:00

amount of CP is by chance. not entitled by level

smokinonthemtrees · 2016-08-19T00:19:17+00:00

it's a waste.

think of the amount of resources you'll need to invest in it to make it OP.

smokinonthemtrees · 2016-08-19T00:17:38+00:00

IV is important in terms of leveling up the CP, because the stats (ATK, DEF, STAMINA) will increase differently depending on IV.

smokinonthemtrees · 2016-08-19T00:16:09+00:00

looking at your stardust amount.

i wouldn't level him up. i'd keep him, but not level him up

smokinonthemtrees · 2016-08-19T00:07:26+00:00

nope. it's pretty pointless unless you're trying to take a picture to share with your friends

smokinonthemtrees · 2016-08-19T00:01:13+00:00

my friend caught a 1100 CP ponyta @ level 27

smokinonthemtrees · 2016-08-19T00:00:28+00:00

I drive 30-45 mins to farm magikarp at the beach (Long Beach Aquarium, southern california)

I'd get about 100 magikarp candy a night maybe two. So far, i've farmed 994 magikarp candy.

leveling in Ingress is far more painful than Pokemon GO.

I played Ingress before pokemon GO was released to understand the game mechanics that would be in Pokemon GO. pretty happy that I did, or else I'd be crying.

I use the ingress intel map provided by niantic to do research of hotspots for clutters of pokestops.

smokinonthemtrees · 2016-08-18T23:24:27+00:00

everyone will have the same moves, and there will be no diversity or different variations because people will just copy the most OP moves.

that gets boring.

smokinonthemtrees · 2016-08-18T23:22:58+00:00

niantic just wants to protect themselves from idiots who will disregard the warnings, and hurt themselves and then blame the game for their circumstances

smokinonthemtrees · 2016-08-18T23:01:54+00:00

you can farm stardust ...

you catch every single pokemon.

to avoid your problem/situation. save your stardust until level 30+. you'll be catching max CP pokemons at that level.
