Last night I hatched another Drowse, a Psyduck, and a Ponyta. The Ponyta is CP 833, and I'd love to evolve him. Just need to hatch 2 more, haha. I've only ever caught 2 in the wild.
I have 2 5ks and a 10k incubating now, and almost all 2ks left waiting to be done next.
Man, I would give ANYTHING to be able to re-roll movesets. I love this Arcanine, but he's got the worst moveset. I wish there was an item that re-rolled movesets, I would certainly pay for that. Or if I had to expend stardust and/or candies, I would do that too. I hope we get that at some point in the future. You can choose your Pokemon's moves in the main series games.

Good luck! I hope you hatch more Ponyta. I made my Rapidash almost exclusively from eggs, I had only ever seen 1 in the wild. I made my Rapidash, and promptly hatched two more Ponyta, LOL.
I don't post here but I have been keeping up with this thread. Last night after the Nationals game some of my coworkers and I went to the FDR memorial- there are 8 pokestops that had constant lures and I caught 13 new to me pokemon including a Gyarados. There must have been 200 people there and everyone started running when it appeared on the tracker, it was crazy. We are going back tomorrow night, it was so much fun. I live in the burbs and get mostly rats and pidgeys.

Man I need to go!
Me too! I live and work in the burbs, and I never see anything good here.
There is a Pikachu "spawn site" in my town! It's at a park that we go to fairly often, and I was there yesterday and caught two Pikachu, which is the first time I've ever seen any in the wild. I looked up "Town name pokemon go nests" and found that some people were calling it a Pikachu nest, and others corrected saying it's just a common spawn site, which I guess is like a nest but much fewer.

And karinothing and Wines Not Whines I have read in several places that the FDR memorial is the best hunting spot within 50 miles, at least. People catch insane stuff there. If you live close enough you should definitely go!

After several days of pidgeys and rattatas, I caught a Scyther and a Beedril today, one in front of my house and one in front of my neighbor's house. I also saw a pikachu in my sightings, but he disappeared before I could get my son out of the house to find it. I don't know what's going on, but I hope it sticks around!
Here is a much easier to read type advantage chart. Find your pokemon's type in the middle column. Not very effective (0.8 damage) on the left, very effective (1.25 damage) on the right. So let's take my new Arcanine for example, a fire type. Fire is not effective against fire, water, rock, or dragon. So I don't want to match him against those types. Fire is very effective against grass, ice, bug, and steel. So I should chose Arcanine to battle those types. Make sense? I'm happy to answer questions.

Me too! On my way home from running errands with the kids, I drove by an out-of-the-way pokestop, hoping to pickup an egg. There was an Exeggcutor on my sightings! I couldn't find the tricky bastard, but still, very unusual to see something like that here. Was the Scyther any good Wines Not Whines? I'm on the hunt for a fury cutter/bug buzz Scyther to use against Exeggcutor's.
The ML pokemon thread died so I'm bringing my nerdiness here, hi! I just had to tell someone who would understand the humor of catching our first Snorlax... CP 42. Ha

The Scyther was pretty good! CP 1213, although I don't know if it's moveset is any good. It has Fury Cutter and Night Slash. It's my highest CP pokemon right now, behind my CP 1201 Rapidash. I'm going to end up with some higher ones when I do my next set of evolutions. I'm just waiting to catch about a dozen more pidgeys so I can evolve a crapton of those, too, with a lucky egg.

So if I'm fighting a water type, I want to use fire, ground, or rock? And for fire, I use grass, ice, bug or steel?
I know dodging is key, but I'm horrible at dodging. Do you have any dodging tips?
I have a couple of other very basic questions:
1. I can take 6 pokemon into a gym, right? So if I'm only battling one or two pokemon inside the gym, can I cycle through as many pokemon as I need to defeat them? Like if there's a gym that's being held by a single 2000+ CP pokemon, I don't have any single pokemon who can take that out. But I'm betting 6 of my guys combined could take him out. Is that something I can do?
2. Do you, like, engage with other people? There are a couple of gyms near me, and if I drive over to one of them and I see someone else who is clearly playing, I feel really really odd. LOL. Especially if I think they're from an opposing team. I feel less weird if I take my kid with me, but we accidentally ended up on different teams, so unfortunately we can't take down a gym together.

Hello and welcome! I am of the opinion that there is no bad snorlax. You got the pokedex entry, and some candy in case you get a better one in the future. Win/win. #wantasnorlax
H&F won't appreciate this like you guys, so here it is.
I forgot my watch that counts my laps in the pool today and I can't keep track past 8 or so. To keep track, I made each lap a letter of the alphabet and tried to think of all the Pokémon that start with that letter (24 laps with x/y/z together on my last lap.) It kept my mind occupied and I didn't lose track of my laps!

Question: So if I'm fighting a water type, I want to use fire, ground, or rock? And for fire, I use grass, ice, bug or steel?
Answer: You've got it backwards, my friend. If you're fighting a water type, you find "water" in the center column. Water is very effective (the right column) against fire, ground, and rock. So DON'T use those against water, because water is very effective against them, so water type will deal 25% extra damage to fire, ground, and rock types. Water is not very effective (left column) against water, grass, and dragon types. So you DO want to use one of those to battle water, because the water type will deal 20% LESS damage to those types. Grass is also very effective against water, so grass both RESISTS water AND is very effective against water. Making grass the best type advantage by far to battling a water type.
The chart also goes the opposite direction as well. Say you have a really strong electric type (like chilerellanos awesome new Jolteon) that you're itching to try in battle. Find "electric" in the center column. Electric is very effective (right column) against water and flying types. So you DO want to use your Jolteon against water and flying, like a Starmie or a Pidgeot, because electric deals 25% extra damage to water and flying types. Electric is not very effective (left column) against ground, electric, grass, and dragon. So DON'T use your Jolteon against a Rhyhorn (for example), because Jolteon is not strong against ground.
Does that help?
Question: I know dodging is key, but I'm horrible at dodging. Do you have any dodging tips?
Answer: Watch this video. www.youtube.com/watch?v=HpNzX8ICi90 Very clear description, with screen captured video. You only need to watch the first few minutes FYI, the rest of the video is vlogging-style PoGo traveling. A key tip for dodging he covers in the video: EVERY gym defender, because they're controlled by AI, attacks in the EXACT SAME WAY. At the start of the battle, they attack twice in a row. Then they attack every 2 seconds. So start EVERY battle by dodging at the yellow flash, dodge again, THEN start attacking. Figure out how many quick attacks you can make in 2 seconds. For example, as shown in the video, you can use Vaporeon's water gun quick attack 3 times in 2 seconds. So to start a battle with your Vaporeon: dodge, dodge, attack attack attack, dodge, repeat. Once you dodge the defender's special attack, THAT is the time to use YOUR special attack. The defender will be recovering from using their special, and won't be able to attack you while you're using yours. Remember: even the most perfectly timed dodge still deals 25% damage. So dodging the special attack is KEY.
I have a couple of other very basic questions:
Question: 1. I can take 6 pokemon into a gym, right? So if I'm only battling one or two pokemon inside the gym, can I cycle through as many pokemon as I need to defeat them?

Is that something I can do?
Answer: Yes, you can take 6 pokemon to battle a rival (not your team's) gym. Yes, you are correct that in your example you would get 6 pokemon to attack the gym's single 2000CP defender. Even if the defender beats several of your pokemon in a row, you WILL eventually deal enough damage to take the defender out. This is why gyms are so hard to hold onto as defender. The game is heavily skewed to favor the attacker.
Question: 2. Do you, like, engage with other people? There are a couple of gyms near me, and if I drive over to one of them and I see someone else who is clearly playing, I feel really really odd. LOL. Especially if I think they're from an opposing team. I feel less weird if I take my kid with me, but we accidentally ended up on different teams, so unfortunately we can't take down a gym together.
Answer: Yes, I do. I simply say "playing pokemon go?" and if they chat back, I talk about what team I'm on, if I found any good pokemon lately. etc. I haven't taken down a gym with anyone before, but it's possible of course.
Answers inside the quote above. Easier to read and type that way.
