I don't like Kricketot, oh no, I love it, yeah

I caught a lot when I went out a second time. This is the best CP one I have, no IV over 70% . Should I just evolve this for the special move or just hold onto all the candy to evolve something in the future? Will it be better for a typhlosion to have the special move or be a higher IV/CP?

Wailmer What else do I need to input to get one IV value for this one. I've attached 2 screen shots, one before appraisal and one after, they both give quite a few IV possible combinations. I've also found that these can refine one way or another on evolution. I use Poke Genie for Android. Thanks for your help.

tumpymummy Once you claim a research task with an encounter reward it takes you to the catch screen, you can run from the encounter and it will then stay there so you can go in and catch the Pokemon later. As the actual reward has been claimed, although not caught, there will be space to get another task.

@hakuna i could do anytime between 2.30 and 4pm today? You have the gift so please let me know so I can put a lucky egg on.

Yes, there's not many here and a incenser only gave me four more Pokémon than spawned for DS, although one was a cyndaquil.
It's miserable weather so we're Pokémoning from the sofa until we run out of balls.

I was out just now and was surprised how few cyndaquils were around, anyone else found the same?

@tumpymummy I'm malidice. When would suit you? This afternoon would be good for me but I definitely won't open the gift until I hear from you.

Also another shout out for RedLottie and Binky9999

I don't understand how some people are 'stacking' research tasks? I only ever have 3 at a time. I don't get a new one until I claim the reward.

Happy Cyndaquil Day everyone! Don’t forget your star pieces every half an hour to maximise star dust.

Since we have a lot of new players to the thread, I’ll share how I play my community day to maximise catching. I play in a small town setting, so while not overrun with stops like a city, there are plenty to keep us going.

For every Cyndaquil I catch, I will quickly appraise it. If it isn’t a wonder (or simply amazes/battle with the best for red/yellow) I transfer it immediately. This means that at the end of the event when deciding what to evolve it makes it a lot easier as I only have the best to deal with and not have to sift through loads of crap.

I also pop a lucky egg, a star piece and an incense on every half an hour (if you’re likely to forget when they run out, a good tip is to set an alarm). I also pinap all low CP ones.

Now we have the hour after the event to evolve, it makes it a lot less stressful!

Happy playing everyone

Hi hakuna I'm podsy and would like to coordinate best friends and lucky eggs if possible please? Are you boulebaker or maldice ?

If all the information is input correctly, along with the info on your account being correct (trainer level), you should not be getting several possible IV combinations. 85% isn’t a correct IV for that Pokemon because it doesn’t know it’s correct IV - there are too many variables.

The IVs don’t change (it’s not even possible); the information is either not input or not read correctly. If it doesn’t know (and you can tell it doesn’t by the number of combinations), it gives you an average of the range in which it is is.

What information am I not putting in? I enter the appraisals that the woman gives me and check that hp and all that has been read by the app. Is there anything else that needs putting in?

Again, it’s a case of the information not being read or input correctly; IVs do not change upon evolve.

I can tell from your screenshot dillite that you aren’t putting in the full appraisal as you have three possible IV combinations. This will be why you think they change when they don’t.

I wish that a shiny cyndaquil looked a bit more exciting that just some dirty shade of orange. A nice bright colour would be quite nice.

I agree with dillite, I have checked stats on PokeGenie before evolving, and again after evolving and found it has moved up or down slightly. Never a massive change, but quite often up or down 2-3%.

I have not got any lucky Pokemon I need to find locals to play and trade with!!

what and betty I am not saying that you are at all wrong in that IV's do not change, I was simply sharing my experience. I even carried out an experiment today where, after entering the appraisal for this starly I was given an IV of 84. I then evolved it and once I entered the appraisal for the evolution, I was given am IV of 85. So a slight change. And as I say, I have experienced it before also.

I’ve attached a chart showing how much stardust you can earn for different Pokemon depending on their evolution stage, whether they’re weather boosted and if you pop a star piece on

I buy a lot of boxes so I have an abundance of star pieces (92 ) and will be dropping one every half an hour along with a lucky egg.

If you have star pieces, I massively recommend popping one on every half an hour (if you’re prone to forgot, set an alarm so you can replenish).

50% more stardust for 30 minutes

DS is very excited for community day tomorrow. I'm just hoping i might actually catch something shiny!

Sorry for yet another annoying question - what do star pieces do?

I'm excited for tomorrow as we're going in town which I've never done before for community day. I usually never get enough of anything to evolve to the special moves etc. Might even push the boat out and pop a starpiece

Ooh this is the first ever community day I can actually do. I'll be on a train but should be able to get some pokemon when it stops.
And also do the 8 new stops

I have no star pieces

Infographic for tomorrow’s community day

Definitely make sure you’re sticking a star piece on every half an hour! Combined with the 2x stardust from CD and the 2x bonus stardust from the event you will make a lot of dust

Thanks Wailmer. I've got a Weepinbell and I've got 50 Bellsprout candies already so shouldn't take too long.

Just annoyed at myself - it didn't occur to me to check. I just typed in "Grass" in my Pokémon and I had the most Turtwigs, so went from there.

#firstworldproblems

Gen 4 Pokémon aren't part of this task yet.

Tinkerbellisnotafairy Considering the task was released before Gen IV and the majority of players have completed the Celebi research, I would gather there’s next to no chance of Gen IV ever being added to it.

It hadn’t crossed my mind Gen IV would be excluded (although Grotle wasn’t part of the original list I posted a few days ago), but when you think about it, it makes sense; the Pokemon approved as acceptable for that task were months before Gen IV even came out.

It sucks for you, though Though you do have a few more options:

• Gloom
• Ivysaur
• Weepinbell
• Bayleef
• Skiploom
• Grovyle
• Lombre
• Nuzleaf
