Came across a Magneton yesterday. Gave it a berry and used an ultra ball, got a "Nice!", it escaped the ball and ran away

[thimon]

Thanks folks. Will speak to the the guy in charge. It's on a common area that gets "privatised" for the duration of the festival, plus it's the official merch stall - so there may be a chance of choosing a better spot (depends on if other people are paying a premium, I guess).

 

Can you just keep "topping up" the lure when it runs out?

 

Usually it's landmarks and point of interests that are Pokestops, churches, parks, statues, etc. They don't appear in places with nothing of interest. When lured a Pokestop will have blossoms / hearts falling from it, when it runs out it will return to normal, then you can just add another lure to it.

Abra used Teleport

 

I was totally expecting it to teleport away after it escaped the Pokeball, but no it let me catch it again. I now have a Kadabra with near perfect IVs, just need to catch 'n hatch a few more to evo it to Alakazam.

Thanks. Sounds quite likely that there will be stops somewhere on the site then. Will see if I can get someone to investigate...

Wait.. Pokemon in Pokemon GO have IV's? Of for fudge sake Can't ever get away from the competitive gits trying to number-crunch everything to "perfection".

 

Just out of curiosity how does one check IV's and know if it's "good" or not? I may not be bothered trying to get "perfect" pokemon but it would be nice to know which are "randomly good" and which are "randomly bad" if there's more to go off than just CP and moveset.

and an iv is?

and an iv is?

 

In Pokemon Go, there are three hidden stats, or Individual Values (IV). These hidden stats affect how strong your Pokemon is in Gym Battles, beyond the Pokemon's CP rating, which the game shows you:

 

• Attack
  
• Defense
  
• Stamina

Finding this to be the case lately!

Exactly the same happened to me!

[DanTheLacky]

So had a wild vapoureon appear earlier, see it pop up, got really excited, clicked it, caught it.... Then I checked the CP...... CP 27 lol, really?

[CHR1S]

Wow, they are really screwing this game up, the OH and the eldest always play it in the car whilst I drive and now they upped the refresh to 10s and anything faster than a brisk walk shows no pokemon.

Im also seeing virtually no km being added to my eggs too.

 

With the 10 balls it takes to capture even the lowest CP ones now and the daily changes... im close to giving up.

Today when I took the kids to the park, 1 in 3 pokemon I attempted to catch just kicked me back to the map and showed "Error" in the red banner at the top. Countless GPS lost error messages have started appearing too.

I'm finding the eggs don't registering any km for ages, then all of a sudden it will catch up. Had a 10k egg showing 9.4km for ages, then all of a sudden the egg hatched :s

Ive got 1.4km on a 10k and hasn't moved for the last 2km ish of walking.

[Blue_Cookeh]

The eggs only measure every 5 or 10 minutes. Problem is it wont track what you've done between those two points, it'll just measure straight line distance from point A to point B.

 

So if you walk in a 2km circle and finish where you started, you'd end up with 0km.

[thimon]

The gym and pokestop that were a 1 minute walk from the school have been removed They probably got annoyed with "some people" hanging out in their car park...

Wow, because all the roads are straight American ones here......

 

Game gets more pointless by the day.

The article mentions that they use Pokevision or something similiar. Seeing as this article was a week ago, wondering what they're using now?

[FN-GM]

Just saw a Squirtl near work. Also caught a level 700 Jynx in nandos last night. Spent like 20 balls on that!!

[DanTheLacky]

Jynx seem pretty common where I live, when I caught the one I thought it was really common but had loads of them since.

Sat in a coffee shop earlier that had a lure near by, caught like 10 things in 5 minutes, was all trash but candies and xp is always good. Wish I had checked when we first got there as we was there a good half hour and I was in range of 3 pokestops

 

Edit:

Good haul tonight, in 45 minutes got all these and about 6 makicarp.
