I spent most of the afternoon out and about but didn't get a single shiny Rosie... I feel robbed!!

bettytaghetti · 01/07/2018 01:42

Mona apparently someone forgot to flick some switch (doh!) and so the shiny roselias weren't released until 6pm. Then it was quite insane with people getting multiples afterwards! What with all the problems that we encountered yesterday, Niantic are promising some sort of Europe wide event later this week.
Also Celebi has been announced as the encounter reward for completing a new set of special research.

WhatToDoAboutWailmerGoneRogue · 01/07/2018 02:19

Celebi has been found to be for GoFest, but it is expected to be released as the special quest for afterwards (though not guaranteed as Niantic haven’t announced it).

Considering it’s been months since the majority of us finished the Mew quest though, it would be very welcome.

Got another articuno today so it hasn't changed yet.

NoFucksImAQueen · 01/07/2018 07:32

Thanks whattodo. I'm level 26 and red team. I must have been lucky before because iv never had a bad evolve before this. I can't belive I didn't know anything about ivs

NoFucksImAQueen · 01/07/2018 07:43

OK I have more questions sorry. When it says stardust is that how much it is to power it up once?
What's the level it refers to on the first colum

NoFucksImAQueen · 01/07/2018 07:49

Oh and how did you get your stats like that? The calculator I use has given me loads of numbers and a range of percentages

busKingjez · 01/07/2018 08:21

Please add me! My trainer code is

Thank you!

Kraggle · 01/07/2018 08:27

I hope no one minds, I’m a very novice player at the moment but have friended some of the trainer codes as I know no one else who plays.

I struggle a little as don’t live near many stops/gyms but I’ve always got my phone out when I go anywhere so I’m slowly getting experience!

Kraggle · 01/07/2018 08:27

Oh and my trainer code is 7094 3842 5125 if anyone would like to add me.

NoFucksImAQueen No worries Smile So since you’re red, a good way to see which Pokémon could be good is to manually appraise them in the game. So do that for every Pokemon, and if it isn’t simply amazes, transfer it as its IVs are too low.

If it is simply amazes, screenshot and put it into PokeGenie with the full appraisal and you will get an accurate IV percentage. Simply amazes Pokemon range from 82% to 100%, so for me even if they are in the top appraisal, I’m not interested unless they’re over 90%.

Doing that is a good way to save time, as it means you don’t have to IV check every single Pokémon, only the ones with potential to have high IVs.

Another thing is, a high CP on a Pokemon doesn’t mean it’s good. A high CP Pokemon can have low IVs and be poor in battle. Similarly, low CP Pokemon can have high IVs.

OK I have more questions sorry. When it says stardust is that how much it is to power it up once?
What's the level it refers to on the first colum

Yeah, that’s how much it is to power it up once. That’s why you need save your stardust and be very careful about which Pokémon you power up.

Since you’re a low level, I would suggest not powering any Pokemon up until you’re over Level 30, as by then you’ll be hatching and catching better Pokémon.

The only Pokémon you should be powering up are ones you want to battle with. All Legendary Pokemon are worth powering up (but not Mew as Mew isn’t a legendary Pokemon but a Mythical one), and then you have your God Tier Pokemon like Dragonite, Tyrannitar, Gyarados etc.

But again, I would absolutely hold off powering up any Pokemon before you’re level 30. Stardust is a very precious and rare resource! Especially now trading has been introduced.

To take a Pokemon from Level 20 to Level 30, it costs 66 candies and 75,000 dust. Per Pokemon. So it is costly!

A Pokemon’s Level is how far along the curved arch at the top they are. The higher the level the less powering up you need to do, saving stardust and candy.

But you shouldn’t just power up or evolve a Pokemon because it’s a high level or CP; you should check the IVs first. It’s no use having a Level 31 20% Pokemon! Much better to have a Level 20 90%+.

I would also only evolve or power up a Pokemon that is under Level 20 in very exceptional circumstances. The general rule is that if it’s under Level 20, it’s too costly to evolve and/or power up.

Oh and how did you get your stats like that? The calculator I use has given me loads of numbers and a range of percentages

I use PokeGenie Smile It’s the recommend IV calculator as it doesn’t break Niantic’s T&Cs, whereas a lot of IV calculators do.

stayingaliveisawayoflife Like most changes and events, it will change at 9pm tonight Smile

stayingaliveisawayoflife · 01/07/2018 11:58

Oh poop forgot about the time thing!

SneakyGremlins · 01/07/2018 12:13

Just need 20 more coins for an ultra box!

NoFucksImAQueen · 01/07/2018 12:15

Thanks whattodo 💜

OhLookHeKickedTheBall · 01/07/2018 14:42

Finally, after playing this game from its launch, I have a shiny! I have no clue if its a decent one or not but its a shiny.

WhatToDoAboutWailmerGoneRogue · 01/07/2018 16:07

NoFucksImAQueen You’re welcome Smile I’m always happy to answer any questions.

OhLookHeKickedTheBall Cograts! And you can appraise it Smile If you click the circle with the three lines in, it’ll give you a few options. One of those is appraise. Choose that and...

If you’re blue/Mystic and it’s a wonder, or if you’re red/Valour and it’s simply amazes, or if you’re yellow/Instinct and it’s battle with the best of them, it’s between 82% and 100% and it has a chance of being good Smile

For a more accurate appraise, download the app PokeGenie and use that to get an IV percentage.

Murinae · 01/07/2018 17:28

Well I’mo. My way back to the airport from my weekend in Holland and yesterday in Dortmund at the safari go fest. It was a bit of a shambles for the first 6 hours as i couldn’t log in at all. managed to log in at 17:20!! So stayed till9pm and got a decent amount of corsola, unown and best of all a shiny magicarp.

I got in the park fairly easily and didn’t have to queue too long but as i said most people couldn’t log in and there were a lot of very unhappy Pokemon players wandering around. There was even a woman screaming at a poor guy on the information stand and telling him to make it work!

NoFucksImAQueen · 01/07/2018 18:14

Now I'm even more confused. I downloaded the app and it says my kingdra had great ivs-89%. So why such shit cp when it evolved? Confused

rainingcatsanddog · 01/07/2018 20:15

Tomorrow 9pm onwards we get the following rewards:

What times are the Articuno around?

rainingcatsanddog · 01/07/2018 20:54

I've not seen the Articuno time released.

WhatToDoAboutWailmerGoneRogue · 01/07/2018 21:00

Now I'm even more confused. I downloaded the app and it says my kingdra had great ivs-89%. So why such shit cp when it evolved?

NoFucksImAQueen Have you set the full appraisal? Because if you haven’t it won’t be that accurate.

To set the full appraisal, after you’ve put the screenshot into the app (make sure you’ve given it your correct trainer level and team first), scroll down to this part (see attached picture) and add in all the information you have from the in game appraisal.

That will give you a more accurate appraisal Smile

What times are the Articuno around?

SneakyGremlins It hasn’t been officially mentioned, but it’s theorised it will be the same as community day so 10am to 1pm.

They won’t be wild spawns though; they are legendary Pokemon after all. They’ll still be 5 star raids.

anitagreen · 01/07/2018 21:04

Will the snorlax appear now on the field research or still articuno?

OhLookHeKickedTheBall · 01/07/2018 21:21

Shiny Roselia is only 47-49% apparently. Still shiny though Grin
