Thank you for clarifying WhatToDo and Wartortle Smile

I use Pokefindr, which doesn't need log in details. Just the CP, and how much stardust is required to power up. Then it displays a chart that you can use to see what IV your Pokemon is Smile. Might be a bit more of a faff than a screen shot, but works for me Smile

wartortle · 16/09/2017 16:50

Also Niantic see the log-in as through a different (not official pogo) app which is restricted to try to stop spoofing. Some spoofing apps used to masquerade as IV checkers before Niantic extended the crackdown to both.

cottonwool125 If you use any you can log in for, they send the server request for information to find out your Pokemon's details, but it's a drain on their servers and they struggle to cope with the number of players as it is.

So they've banned IV checkers where you need to input log-in info because it's a drain on their resources.

Using PokeGenie, however, requires only a screenshot and doesn't affect them at all Smile

cottonwool125 · 16/09/2017 16:33

This might make me sound a bit dense, but why would you get banned for using an IV checker? I assumed that was the whole point of them including appraisals, so we can check how good our 'mon are Grin

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 16/09/2017 15:46

Mrsmomo No worries Smile It's just someone in our group got a soft ban for using an IV checker that's against the games ToS.

PokeGenie is perfectly fine because you don't have to put in any log in details; it's simply a screenshot.

Mrsmomo · 16/09/2017 15:14

Thanks What to do ;)

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 16/09/2017 13:54

Mrsmomo I would recommend PokeGenie as an IV checker as it's within Pokemon Go's terms and conditions. Some aren't, so you need to be careful!

Mrsmomo · 16/09/2017 12:41

Hatched a 10k today. Dratini. Not even a particularly good one. Ate chocolate whilst getting over that one.
Thanks for the advice guys re the mareep. I've been looking at IV checkers, hope I'm doing it right. Me and hubby did my(and our) first joint raid today, good fun. Hope you are all having a happy hunting day today and the egg goddess is good to you.

SomewhatIdiosyncratic · 16/09/2017 08:43

I went for a 16k/ 10 mile run yesterday and caught 99 pokemon on my go plus. My egg hatches were nothing special, but did gather some unusual one like onyx and totodile, and it's boosted me up to 60 mareep candy for my flaaffy. We've gone 153km together so far!

Icouldbeknitting · 15/09/2017 19:59

Hit post too soon. The local group organises itself on Facebook Messenger rather than Dischord and the next town uses Whatsapp.

Icouldbeknitting · 15/09/2017 19:58

Dillite2 there may be another group out there. The Facebook page for the closest city pimps Dischord as "the" option for getting together but if you used that you would think that there were no raids in this suburb.

wartortle · 15/09/2017 19:53

She's not the best chansey IV wise but I'm so happy to have finally got her Grin

KadabrasSpoon · 15/09/2017 19:07

Oooh I'd love a decent Chancey wartortle congrats

wartortle · 15/09/2017 18:58

Two of my last 4 10k were Skarmory and Sudowoodo so I feel your pain Dillite2. They've improved the available 'mon a lot, but I think 10k could still do with a bit of tweaking.

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 15/09/2017 18:46

Dillite2 Sorry it wasn't what you wanted Flowers

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 15/09/2017 18:40

wartortle Oh I bet; that ever elusive Chansey! Glad you finally got it Smile

Dillite2 · 15/09/2017 18:40

Congratulations to everyone that has managed to get Entei and other legendaries. I have joined a local pokemon group for legendary raids but nobody ever seems to actually get together. People post raids and ask whether anyone wants to join and that's as far as it gets.

Dillite2 · 15/09/2017 18:37

I hatched a porygon. A fucking porygon. And yes, that candy might come in handy in 10 years time when gen 1000 comes out, but I don't care. I want mareep candy. Or tyranitar.

wartortle · 15/09/2017 18:30

And congratulations on Entei!!

wartortle · 15/09/2017 18:30

I may have actually squealed in public when my 10k hatched to reveal a beautiful chansey :)

I also have a complete living dex as I'd caught Blissey earlier which is nice, given it's taken me this long to hatch my first chansey I'd probably have a long wait for a second if I'd had to evolve!

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 15/09/2017 18:24

Congrats wartortle! Smile

I finally got Entei today, so with all Legendaries currently released and some new Pokemon added, my Gen I and II lists look like this Smile

Mrsmomo Never evolve based on movesets because they change when you evolve them.

Go with the one with the best IVs, as long as its CP isn't too low.

If you haven't got enough for it's final form though (Ampharos) I would wait until you do, so you get the best Mareep possible.

Ampharos is the best electric in the game behind Zapdos at the moment so you want the best one possible!

KadabrasSpoon · 15/09/2017 17:34

The movesets change when you evolve it anyway so would go with the high IV one

Mrsmomo · 15/09/2017 17:33

So I hatched a mareep today, lots of lovely Candy to evolve it. Dilemma is, I caught one before with higher cp and hp but it's got tackle and body slam. Egg one has tackle and discharge. Which one should I evolve?
