Pokemon Go #12: "It's in the trees! It's coming!" The Houndooms of love are calling me (to join in a raid).

Well done Somewhat! :)

Does the CP of Pokémon in gyms go down over time even if they're not in battle? Someone fed my snorlie some berries today, but he's still not out of the gym at the stately home.

A pokemon's motivation goes down the longer they're in the gym; only feeding berries ups it a bit. They can only come out if they're battled out regardless of how low their motivation is.

Dillite2 You only get 50 coins a day, and that counts from midnight.

So either your Pokemon wasn't in long enough to get the 50 coins, or you'd have had another Pokemon come out earlier that you'd forgotten about.

Nice one somewhat!

I don't have my bronze dragon yet either, and I STILL don't have a sandslash. 13 months and I've only seen & caught 5 sandshrews. Where are they all?!

Does the CP of Pokémon in gyms go down over time even if they're not in battle? Someone fed my snorlie some berries today, but he's still not out of the gym at the stately home. I've got 3 in gyms now, I bet they all come out on the same day and I only get 50cins for the three of them! Really need more incubators! So fed up of boring 5k eggs.

Great news from sulphur road re the update - super incubators sound so good! Also DP got a TM upgrade todY, I didn't know about them! Need some for my gyarados, he's only got twister so is really rubbish. I've found a local fb raid group and asked to be added to the chat, hopefully I'll get some more raids. Got another bay leaf today, slowly racking up the candies. What does he evolve to?

I also didn't realise you got stardust for feeding berries at gyms - that's really good too!

Ta da!

Followed up a few minutes later by hatching a dratini, and getting my bronze dragon medal at long last! 13 months and 10 dragon types!!! Oddly I have a decent Dragonite that I caught on my birthday about 6 months ago

I am finding this whole coin issue confusing still. I have had 2 pokemon come out on the same day that were placed in the gyms on that same day and only one would return with coins and it wasn't 50 coins either. Either way I won't moan and just enjoy what I have. I now jave 749 coins. I have never had this many just from the game. I just can't be arsed to spend any of them.

Oooh nice one Somewhat, post when you get it! I'm at 838.4 so a bit to go still.

Nothing too exciting here, got my third Electabuzz from a raid yesterday, not my best one but still good. Working on a 10k egg right now after hatching all my 2ks.

I'm nearly on my gold badge for walking!

I'm excited about the superior egg incubators!

Some new data has been added into the game, which you can read about here: www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRoad/comments/6v7u7c/the_silph_roads_apk_mine_of_v0710_is_complete_a/

It does include the very basics for Gen III, however there are no sounds or new movesets, both of which need to be added before Gen III can go live.

It is worth noting that when Gen II was first seen in the data, it was another three months before it went live, and that only added roughly 80 new Pokemon, whereas Gen III adds 135, so it could be even longer.

So don't get your hopes up it'll be soon because it won't be!

Dillite2 Nope, the amount of coins per day hasn't changed; it's still 50. cottonwool125 is right

Dillite it's 50 coins per day maximum. So the 9+41 would give you your 50 coins for the day

Even if the mon that earned 9 coins had been in the gym a long time, because your other mon earned 41, the most it could bring back on that day would be 9.

Hope that helps

I'm now doubting myself that 9+41 is 50

Have they changed how many coins we get for our pokemon? I had 2 come out of the gyms yesterday and received coins for both- 9 for one and 41 for another.

How do you get a gold gym? Is it just by accruing hours of defending it?

There are several things that help you get a gold gym badge. You get 100 badge XP for just adding a Pokemon, while you get 1 badge XP per minute you hold the gym.

Feeding berries gives you 10 badge XP (plus 20 stardust) and defeating a defending Pokemon also gives you badge XP.

By far the biggest way to get badge XP though is defeating a raid at that gym, as that gives you 1000.

Oooh wartortle that sounds really interesting. (Imagines playing with fire all day)

How do you get a gold gym? Is it just by accruing hours of defending it? My snorlie is still at the stately home - stuck there until at least 10am tomorrow. It was rainy and grey here today, clearly nobody fancied going there!

Argh, sorry I've been away! I work in academia and my research field is around fire (being slightly vague to try to not completely out myself!).

I didn't get too many pokemon while I was away, but I left a pokemon in a quite rural gym with dodgy signal so wondering if I might finally get a (useless) gold gym 😂

It's amazing!! I used an it calculator website early on when appraisals were introduced, but it was clunky and basic. This is epic!!

Very poor day on go, managed to spin a pokestop so I haven't lost my streak, nothing else has happened. I'm still waiting for Snorlie to come out of the gym so I can buy another incubator.

Currently sitting at home playing Pokemon yellow on my 3DS. I never had it as a child, lusted after it though! Bought myself a 3DS for Christmas and I love it! Starting with old Pokémon and Zelda games and working my way through everything - so much fun! Im basically doing at 27 things I never got a chance to do age 11

Thanks for mentioning PokeGenie, so much easier than the website I was using!

You're welcome It's an absolutely brilliant app, and because it just uses screenshots and doesn't require log in info, it's not breaking any of Niantic's t&c's so it's all above board.

MummySparkle Yeah, there's a lot more to the game than people realise It can be played as casually as people want, which is great, but for more hardcore players it does require a lot of skill in getting the best Pokemon.

You can find PokeGenie in the App Store It's literally you take a screenshot of your Pokemon and put it into the app along with the appraisal and it works out the IVs. It also lets you know how much dust and candy it would cost if you were to evolve or power up.

Andrew the Sandshrew is brilliant!

I didn't know that about trainer levels and Pokémon levels! So that means my Gyarados is 30.5 then? My biggest Snorlax might be at 30 already. Definitely going to head over to PokeGenie - thanks for the heads up on that. I didn't know the amount they powers up with was less after then either, so that's good to know!

Exclusive raids are clearly going to be a lot more beneficial to people who live in towns / cities than us rural folks. I try and participate in a raid a day, but they're usually all over the place so the chances of me being invited to one that's actually near where I am at that moment are slim.

I caught a slugma and a wobuffet yesterday, so my Dex is slowly filling up.

Andrew the Sandshrew!! Great name 😂

If I'm level 29, does that mean that all of my fully powered up Pokémon will also be level 29?

No. If fully powered up, at Level 29 they will be Level 30.5 (all Pokemon fully powered up are always 1.5 levels higher than your level; they go up in half level increments).

Once I get past level 30 how can I tell when the Pokémon are at level 30?

The easiest way is to use PokeGenie; put in a screenshot and it will tell you your Pokemons level.

The other way, is at Level 29, the cost to go up increases to 5,000 dust per increment, so if you level up twice after the cost reaches 5,000, it'll be level 30.

Also, you know when it pops up saying +40/+50 etc when you power up? Anything after Level 30 will be powered up half what it was before (so if it was +40, it would now be +20). Hence why I don't power anything up after it hits Level 30

Will I start needing loads more stardust to power them up?

Not immediately; it carries on going up gradually as it always has before. After 31, for example, it increases from 5,000 to 6,000.

Anybody know if there will be any events soon with double of stuff. I know we had doubly candies for Halloween last year.

Nothing has been announced. Legendary birds are until 31st August and then Mewtwo is expected to come soon after in Exclusive Raid Battles (that you need to be invited to), so nothing on the immediate horizon.

I have a Sandshrew called Andrew. It was an autocorrect error, but it amused me so I've left him to it

And yes I did mean Snorlax earlier, sneasel is cute, but not one I'd waste my precious stardust on! Anybody know if there will be any events soon with double of stuff. I know we had doubly candies for Halloween last year.

I tried for a Moltres today, but with only one other person it wasn't happening. I was at the play area of a stately home near us - very temped to shout loudly if there were any other parents with Pokémon go that fancied helping us 😂
