You've probably thought of this, but have you restarted the app? That's been happening to me a lot lately, but restarting usually temporarily fixes it. I've been force closing the app several times a day to deal with it...
IMHO depends on the CP disparity. If it's like 100+ CP difference, I evolve the one with better CP. If the CPs are close, I'd evolve the one that appraises better (i.e., has better IVs).
But that's me. I have no stardust or candies. You have plenty of both. In your case, evolve the one with better IVs. It will end up with the highest possible CP (because it has good IVs) once you power it up.
Honestly, I think it's kind of a crapshoot because you don't know the move set until after you evolve.
Exactly. Since I *do* know that starting with a higher CP Mon ensures a higher CP evolution, that's what I chose. Honestly I think I've only chosen the better IV Mon once or twice, and that's only because the different was like 10-20 CP.
Try switching your wifi on and off. It tends to reset the app without force closing it.
chilerellanos I'm sorry this is happening to you. I usually turn my wifi off when I'm out and about. Moving from cellular, to wifi, back to cellular makes the game really glitchy and slow for me. Have you downloaded the new update? Have you tried restarting your phone too?
I keep looking at my Arcanine, like I can't believe it's really there. I assumed that was a Pokemon I would never see, since there are no fire types here. I had written it off, essentially. And now I have one! miso must have sent one to me
Found this on my PoGo subReddit, I'm super eager to use it! There is a widget for iOS called "go tracker", you can use it from your "today screen" by swiping down to bring up notifications so you do not have to switch apps to use it. The widget drops a 200m (i.e., your sightings distance) circle on your location. You walk until the Pokemon disappears from your sightings screen, pull up the widget, and drop another circle. The Pokemon will be where the circles intersect.

I've done it all. It seems like I'm seeing a little more this evening. So Maybe it was just a weird glitch this afternoon.
My normally good spots all turned to just rats and pidgeys for a few days late last week/early this week, but they turned back to normal sometime yesterday. The switch to crap mons didn't seem to coincide with any reported nest switch, so idk what caused it. Restarting constantly helped with nothing showing up on my sightings list, but nothing helped with only getting crap mons except for time. Hopefully it goes back to normal for you soon. Save
So is there any consensus about the appraisals? Do they actually mean anything?
I ask because they are making me kind of depressed. Water Pokemon are very prevalent here so I really need some good electric or grass Pokemon if I want to battle. My team leader seems to think all of my water or grass Pokemon are "not likely to make much headway in battle" the only exception is a Tangela but it's maxed out at 1300 Xp and can't compete with 2k vaporeon etc.
I did catch three pikachus today though, so I guess that should cheer me up.
Does your Tangela has vine whip/solar beam? That's its best moveset. I think you could take out a 2k Vaporeon with a 1300 Tangela if you're good at dodging. Here's a great video teaching how to dodge. You only need to watch the first few minutes FYI. Use solar beam right after you dodge the Vaporeon's special attack. It will be recovering from using it, giving you time to execute Solar Beam without Vape pummeling you in the process.

I drove by and saw an empty gym this morning. I quickly put in a min and cashed out my coins. I felt like it was my redemption for losing them Last night.
Otherwise a bunch of repeats today. A 672 Pinsir was my best catch.
I have a few random things to get them I'm doing a huge egg/evolve session. Probably this weekend. Our zoo has Pokemon night on Saturday. They will have all of the lures going off and you can take a picture with pikachu lol...I kinda want to go... As in like I do want to go

No, it's vine whip and sludge bomb. I have had pretty good luck with it, I'm just bitter that it seems like all water Pokemon have the highest cp!
Well you're right, water Pokemon are universally the strongest in the game. It has to do with how Niantic created the CP from the stats in the regular Pokemon games. That's not going to change. I'd try to catch a vine whip/solar beam Tangela. You don't catch any Oddish, Bellsprout, Exeggcute, or Paras?

No I catch all of those. I have a vileplume but it kind of sucks. I'm about 35 candies to another though. All of my parasects are weak. I'm also getting pretty close to a victreebel and an exeggutor I guess I am just feeling impatient today haha.

Sounds like you're doing great! I evolved my one Exeggcutor around level 20. Vileplume at 23. I am close to a Victreebel. Unfortunately, getting a strong grass Pokemon isn't as easy as just evolving a Vaporeon.
That's amazing!! Can I see? I love seeing other people's awesome catches.
Yes but don't laugh at my lineup. I also level 20 tonight and I haven't battled yet. No where near as advanced as you guys!!
Your lineup is amazing! My strongest Pokemon was 1320 at level 20. Next strongest was 1147. You're doing amazing! Remember, a lot of us are level 24, which is a huuuuge amount of XP from level 20. Lots and lots of time to catch & evolve strong Mons.
@supergreen I think grass types are kind of rare here because I'm in a huge city and there isn't actually any grass anywere (wilted)
As miso said, #regional. Everyone has different common Pokemon. Being in a huge city, I'm sure you see steel, electric, rock, fire, and ground Pokemon that I never see.
I miss-timed my coin collection today and beat the 2 gyms 15 minutes too early. By the time I could collect, I only had 1 pokemon in a gym.
In better news, I checked my app at a stop light on Wednesday and saw a Tentacruel! I clicked on him and pulled over as soon as I could to catch him. I have only caught a few tentacool, so I was really excited.

Apparently we should all be checking PoGo when we stop our cars! LOL.
Who else battles with an Arcanine? misochilerellanoschloesilverado? Mine has fire fang/bulldoze, which is an odd moveset, being fire/ground. What gym defenders should I use him against? I was thinking grass gym defenders b/c grass is weak to fire, but grass resists ground, so the bulldoze special attack wouldn't be effective. Same goes for ice type (like a Lapras). Fire is strong against ice, but ice is strong against ground. So who would my Arcanine be good against?
