[Megathread] Pokemon GO

[Deleted]

Each pokemon has a random spread of potential stats. So, imagine if base stats from the original pokemon were like 500 - 600 for Dragonite.
So you would have to catch a 600 dragonite to have the best possible dragonite.

How do you know the range?

All my pokemon are shiiiit.

Edit: Not true. I got a 93% EEvee... While i already have a 53% vaporeon on 1500..

It's completly random. I just caught a 100% Dratini with 175 cp and a 84% one with 565 cp.

CP caps are not random. All pokemons have a specific CP cap depending on your level, generally you'll be able to power up a pokemon twice each level you gain. For example Magikarps CP cap is far lower than a Nidoran, but all Magikarps you get will all have the same CP cap.
The CP you catch/hatch it with though is completely random.

Guys, don't stress about IV's unless you are a min/maxer at heart. The difference between a 0% and 100% vaporeon at max CP is somewhere around 5%. When you're vaporeon is over 50% then it becomes around 2.5% already. Just a small difference you have nothing to worry about when you realize that gym battles are only determined by the speed of your fast move anyways.

Unless Niantic drastically changes the battle system, IV's will matter little to nothing. And even when they do change the system, the difference is not that big really.

CP caps are not random. All pokemons have a specific CP cap depending on your level, generally you'll be able to power up a pokemon twice each level you gain. For example Magikarps CP cap is far lower than a Nidoran, but all Magikarps you get will all have the same CP cap.
The CP you catch/hatch it with though is completely random.

CP caps are fixed by trainer level and the IV's of a Pokémon. That together will make up the collective total of all stats (health/attack/etc) and factors making the CP.

look at the middle toronto shore, or by time square.... its even worse there....

the most popular spots in central london have hardly any pokemon compared to that pier or new york, does that just mean its not very popular here?

I went to get ice cream and my friend was scared of the storm, BUT THERE IS NO SHELTER FROM IT.

ive used it during the day in the most popular spots in london, never that many around :\ tbh i think the game isnt that popular in london :P

i also work next to charring cross station, which is one of the most touristy areas of london, so its always packed with people, still find hardly any

i need to try around camden or islington, seems like the sort of place this game will be popular with a lot of users

Oh snap. I'm over in Suffolk county.

The only place over here that gets reliable good spawns is apparently Port Jeff, but that's too far for me just for pokemons.

Oh cool, my friends went the other day, they didnt get anything.

All I got as a big thing was a Snorlax.

Tons of Eevees, and quite a few Magikarps though.

[Pendulous]

Finally fixed my GPS issue. WHo knew it was a simple option on my phone? No one I talked to, that's who. Anyway, two pokestops on the way home, because fucking hell it's hot. Both them gave me an egg, so there's that. Really low on balls again though.

I don't really care if I get banned, not really losing anything if I do.
