Dragonite is a bit overated. I haven’t had much problem at all even beating a 2600cp dragonite when I still don’t have a 2k pokemon. I’m around 43cp from that though. And seriously for the sake of EVERYONE playing they need to have pokemon spawn more often like they used to. And easy to catch pokemon not running so much. If they don’t the grind for me from 24 to 25 will be insane. Just think how bad it is for others much higher than me. There’s a 30 in our area too.
I saw a level 35 at one of the local gyms. Those people are more than likely using bots.
If you’re not putting any of these in the gym since the new update; expect to get kicked out within 10 minutes:
Dragonite, Snorlax, Lapras, Exeggutor, Arcanine, Slowbro, Poliwrath, Venusaur, Muk, Victreebel, Nidoking, Charizard, Nidoqueen
They all have high hp and/or attack. Currently I have Lapras, Nidoking, Nidoqueen and Victreebel just under 2k. Slowbro, Poliwrath, Vaporeon, Blastoise at 2k+.
Before it was just Dragonite, Snorlax, Lapras, Vaporeon, and two others I can’t remember. Their stats/gains were almost double than what everyone else got. Vaporeon was broken because water gun came out x2 faster than any attack and was 12 damage, plus high hp. Even if you had a Jolteon around the same strength, it would struggle. I got dis bruh!
Currently holding 8 gyms with all 1900-2500 cp Pokemon. In before I lose them before 1 hour is up on my claim cycle. Some fat white kid already won’t fuck off from my spot and I’m about to work out
oh booohooo, your hacked version of the game is gone? whatever will you do? perhaps walk?
but don’t forget, it’s not affecting your game that they are botting and gps spoofing around… except when your battling for a gym at night completely alone in the area against some level 30+ from god knows what country.
Tbh I hope Niantic going after cheaters doesn’t affect apks hacked to work on jellybean because they just arbitrarily made it Kitkat+ only despite it working perfectly fine with Jellybean when the restriction is removed.
Otherwise yeah, fuck cheaters, if you want good pokemon and to beat gyms go for a fucking walk like everyone is meant to.
Hit Lvl 20 and now can get ultra balls. Still not enough to take and hold a gym…
Not a big fan of the update my apt complex used to be a Doduo farm it helped me snag stardust now it’s Caterpie and Weedles but they don’t come out as often. Also kind of bs some Pokemon became harder to catch when it was very little problems before (I had a 40CP kakuna get out twice I was like fuck this son of a bitch.)
Look at the bright side - at least Caterpies and Weedles are simple evolution fodder for XP.
Yup they said the update caused a glitch to make the Pokémon get away more often. Shit is frustrating
700 cp Bulbasaur ran from me, fuck you. I’ve almost got a Venusaur. Dratini nest spotted but I cba to go to it. Hungover.
right now Nice, great! and excellent throws give no exp and actually increase the chance of the pokemon running away from you… it’s wack as hell
Wait what the fuck??? Great and excellent throws make it HARDER??? I didn’t know this.
only right now since it’s glitched
Just happened to me lol, also gym error is gay.
poke radar is pretty accurate and it works like pokevision.
If Niantic closes this down with out fixing the tracker on their update, i will quit the game.
Gyms are pretty pointless when scrubs can just keep attacking it until it’s gone. Also R.I.P Gyarados. Waste of 2k+ cp.
They need to balance out the tiers lol im kinda sick of seeing dragonite at every street corner. Shit is boring i wana see variety in the meta not just a dumb looking dragon all day. Also shoudnt all pokemon be able to reach the same level??? Is there any reason beedrill and butterfree cant be cp2000?? Shit is stupid if you ask me. Why even have them in the game if they cant be as huge as dragonite. Might as well replace all pokemon with dragonite since its clearly the biggest and strongest.
Could be just me but has anyone else found the updates to be annoying? Of course, I have a crap phone so without WiFi, updates tend to take a while, but it seems I have to monitor the app to ensure I’m ready to go before leaving the house. It kinda puts a halt to everything.
