re: Official Pokemon GO Megathread

It is crazy how close you have to be to the stops to get them to work. I figured it would be a hundred yards so. I have a stop maybe 700 feet from my house and can't do anything with it unless i go there.

spin the pokestops on my way to work while flying down the highway without stopping.

They seem to always become too far away before they give me anything.

Man, Alabama got shafted.

My catch of the game happened today. Driving from town of 300 to town of 3500 where I have a farm. Get there and open the game to hit a few poke stops. After I hit them I'm about to close it because I'm running behind and don't need to be trying to catch pidgey and rattatas, when it vibrates. I look at it and it looked like a rattata at first but bigger. Click on it and it's a 1228 cp snorlax. 3 great balls and razz berries later he's mine! Keep grinding rural guys break throughs happen when you least expect it!

Lets talk about gym strategy.

I need to start taking into account the TYPE of Pokemon I'm fighting and not just necessarily throw in the highest CP.

Post some good tips on gym battles baws.

just spam Vaporeon. typing doesn't matter. the penalties and bonuses are minimized from 2x, .5x an 0x to 1.2x, .8x and .8x


never use special attacks, and dodge every time your screen flashes yellow.

They might a little though.

I had a 1070 Exeggutor against a 800 Likitung and the Likitung whooped my arse. Every time he touched me it was super effective. On the other hand, the eggs attacks were ineffective against the Likitung. I couldn't beat him.

I suck at dodging though.

Is dodging a must do? Every time I dodge the game lag fricks it up.

typing certainly helps but its not that important because...

...every attack can be dodged. wait for the screen to flash yellow, then dodge. latency makes it a bit tougher. theres a yellow flash and then the animation begins, try to dodge that way, get your attack in, wait for a dodge, attack again


another big damage increase is STAB. Same Type Attack Bonus. The pokemons basic attack should be the same type as its own type.

for instance, vaporeon (water) uses water gun (water). Some pokemon have different attack types than their main type, so they don't do as much dmg.

I use them when I know i'm going to win and finish them, for fun and see the animation

in a legit battle vs a high CP pokemon, no I don't use them
