Having done some extensive Googling when I should be working it looks like you're right, sneakygremlins. Gen 4 Pokémon aren't part of this task yet.

Oh how frustrating!

Now I'm going to have to start all over again with my Weepinbell!

SneakyGremlins · 09/11/2018 13:04

It's not just a game...

Grin

Maybe it doesn't count the new gen ones for some reason?

Tinkerbellisnotafairy · 09/11/2018 13:01

I've restarted it and nothing!

And I can't see how to report it on the Help thing.

BaronessBomburst · 09/11/2018 12:54

Pinap!

BaronessBomburst · 09/11/2018 12:52

Magikarp flee.
Abras flee.
This morning even an Aron broke out of an ultraball and legged it having scoffed a silver nanap first.
Bastard.

SneakyGremlins · 09/11/2018 12:50

You can still catch it in the wild but the chance is miniscule.

BaronessBomburst · 09/11/2018 12:49

Reload the game?

SneakyGremlins · 09/11/2018 12:49

It was during the water event Grin

Have you tried restarting your app? It should have worked.

BaronessBomburst · 09/11/2018 12:49

Neither did I! Shock

Tinkerbellisnotafairy · 09/11/2018 12:47

Help Help! Pokémon SOS!!

I just evolved my Grotle (so evolved an evolved Grass type Pokémon) but the task hasn't updated!! Shock

Any ideas oh wise MN Pokemoners??

Tinkerbellisnotafairy · 09/11/2018 12:35

I didn't realise you could catch Gyrados in the wild! :O

SneakyGremlins · 09/11/2018 11:59

It's really just luck!

I think someone said something about it not being weather boosted so you can tell but I could be wrong.

Tinkerbellisnotafairy · 09/11/2018 11:56

And I STILL haven't caught a Ditto Angry

I've been catching all the rubbish Pokémon it's supposed to be, and still haven't got it. Any tips??

SneakyGremlins · 09/11/2018 11:53

Grin Step AWAY From the magikarp!

I was lucky, I caught a wild Gyrados so saved my candies and got the evolve a magikarp goal a few days after when I had 360 candies, a ten minute trip to the park and I had them done!

Tinkerbellisnotafairy · 09/11/2018 11:52

Oooh no I haven't yet sneakygremlins, I'm still trying to evolve my grass Pokémon. Thanks for the tip! I will wait for that one :)

SneakyGremlins · 09/11/2018 11:49

Have you done the goal for mew that is "evolve a magikarp"? If not wait until you get to that goal!

And wait for a good IV Magikarp to evolve Smile

Tinkerbellisnotafairy · 09/11/2018 11:42

I have my 400 Magikarp candies!!!! Grin

Does it matter when / where I evolve it?

bettytaghetti · 09/11/2018 11:22

dilite had you put in the correct appraisal for the feebas? Perhaps previously it had a range and 87% was the middle of that, which got refined on evolving?

WhatToDoAboutWailmerGoneRogue · 09/11/2018 11:15

dillite I can find multiple sources of proof that IVs never change, but here is just one:

Individual Values (IVs) – HP, Attack and Defense IVs are, as the name suggests, individual to every single Pokémon and get added onto its base stats to give them a boost. A Pokémon’s IVs are randomly generated when it spawns, hatches or is encountered as a raid boss. IVs cannot currently be modified or influenced, but the higher they are, the more potential the Pokémon has in battle than other Pokémon of the same species. IVs are carried over when a Pokémon is evolved, so always check it’s worth investing the candy into it before evolving (find out how below).

www.google.co.uk/amp/s/pokemongohub.net/post/wiki/ivs-and-their-influence/amp/

IVs only influence a Pokemon’s mathematic stats, so it’s simply not possible for them to change upon evolve (or for any other reason at all). It’s not “what I say”; it’s fact.

WhatToDoAboutWailmerGoneRogue · 09/11/2018 10:56

dillite IVs are permenant and will stay the same whatever you do to the Pokemon (power up, evolve) with the exception of trade.

If an IV appears to move in PokeGenie that will be a case of information not being input or read correctly, because it is absolutely impossible for IVs to change.

dillite · 09/11/2018 06:46

what you say that IV's never change but that has not been my experience at all. More than once I have evolved a pokemon at at their final evolution IV would either go down or up. For example my 87% Feebas evolved into a 95% Mylotic.

BaronessBomburst · 08/11/2018 23:50

Aaaah. That's interesting. I might start running with my own teams a bit more.
It's also now safe to confess that I transferred 3 of the Suicunes.
Gremlins - I'd hate you for that too! Grin

WhatToDoAboutWailmerGoneRogue · 08/11/2018 23:49

Ooooh so my catch tonight was extra rare?

SneakyGremlins Yup!

SneakyGremlins · 08/11/2018 23:40

Ooooh so my catch tonight was extra rare?

And she still hates me Wailmer Grin

WhatToDoAboutWailmerGoneRogue · 08/11/2018 23:40

We always end up going with the recommended posse!

BaronessBomburst I would always advise against whatever the game recommends - their algorithms are poor and don’t take into account all the possible factors.

It’s all a balancing act - IV, CP, type, movesets. You have to weigh it all up.
