Wines Not Whines I know that was a lot of information. Type matching can be difficult to understand. It's like a rock-paper-scissors game. Fire beats grass (like fire would burn grass, get it?), water beats fire (water puts out fire), and rock/ground beats fire (because you can't burn a rock KWIM).
Wines Not Whines if you don't want to memorize type matching, or have to look at the infographic I just posted, try downloading the app "coach for Pokemon go." Very simple app that tells you the strengths and weaknesses of any Pokemon in PoGo. You can choose a gym defender, and the app will send yourself a notification with their weaknesses. You can then slide down your notifications screen to access the weaknesses while you still have PoGo open. No app switching needed!
H and I are sitting in the park with DS catching Charmanders. Today is a good Pokemon day!
Wow a Charmader nest! I'd go back there a ton to get a Charizard before the nests rotate again.
Its actually one of the nests that hasn't changed at all so far! But they don't spawn quickly all the time. A friend and I came once and got 6 in less than an hour, and H and I only have 2 so far and we have been here about 45 minutes. So it varies!
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!
So we've already determined that incense is fairly lame, yes? Well I am disappointed in lures now too. I've always just taken advantage of others', but I used one of mine for the first time tonight. I got 2 weedles, 3 pidgeys, 3 rattatas, a ratticate, and a pidgeotto. All crap! Is that normal?
Ok, i am officially sucked in. I've been playing a lot the past few days since I've been walking more.
I had a good day with a few new finds by the river today, but more exciting was finding out that our family bar/restaurant has a pokestop! I actually went to see if i could request one on the website last week, but they aren't taking requests, so i am pretty excited!

In my experience that's normal. Apparently they only pull from the pokemon that are "assigned" to that area/biome. So it's unlikely to find anything super cool and new with incense or lures in spots you already frequent. Incense works best when you're moving, but I put an incense on walking to and from my kids' school today and got 2 rattatas and 2 pidgeys. That's it.
This weekend I'm going to go to a state park out of town and try an incense there. And apparently it's a kabuto nest! Fun.

It's normal for me. I've never seen anything good with a lure
I have had a pretty good couple of days. Mostly vermin, but that haven't been poofing on me much. I saw an Kadabra in the wild, but he wasn't stronger than the one I evolved. I hatched another meowth and it allowed me to evolve him into a Persian.
I'm still waiting for my Bulbasaur so I can evolve. I see bellsprouts much less frequently than I did in PA, so it'll take me awhile to get 125. I'm over 100 already though! Woohoo! I haven't caught an Oddish since moving here, so that's a bummer. I have seen him in the tracker, so that's marginally hopeful.
And the gps on my phone still isn't functioning properly, despite a trip to the Apple Store today. Looks like I need a new phone. My game will never progress until I get one.
shelbyann I think you're doing great! You can easily beat a 1500 Mon with what you've got. Just learn to dodge and use type advantage. The other players in your town will be stuck between level 25-30 for a loooong time. I'm 24, it's taking me about a week per level. Soon the XP will get so high it will take longer. You'll catch up to them pretty quickly.
@supergreen I swore out loud when I saw the level up jumped from 25k to 50k xp at level 20. Don't tell me it gets worse. Even though obviously I know it does.

It gets a lot worse. Sorry. I'm slogging my way through level 24, which is 150,000 XP
I've been in a gym for 10 hours now! This is the first time it's lasted this long. It's level 7 and my Vaporeon is #2.
I still need one damn Exeggcute to get my Exeggcutor. They are taunting me from my "Sightings" section but never materialize.
That's what's happening with my Bulbasaur. So frustrating
And Brie same here with my Bellsprout for Victreebel and Poliwag for Polywrath. I only need to catch 3 of each, and of course now I haven't seen a single one in a week. Grrr.
I'm about to head into town for breakfast and my weekly poke walk to the park with DS. I'm going to try out the new "go tracker" widget for iOS, which drops 200m circles (i.e., your sightings distance) on a map to help narrow down a Mon's location.

Well the Jigglypuff de-spawned before I got to try out the tracker BUT my lineup is doing great! DS and I took down a level 3 valor gym with defenders Clefable, Dragonite, and Exeggcutor. I used type matching and chose my Nidoqueen (poison is strong against fairy), Clefable (fairy is strong against dragon), and Arcanine (fire is strong against grass). I beat each defender with its matched attacker, I didn't even have to use my 4th, 5th, or 6th Pokemon. I'm getting better at battling! I left behind my other Clefable since my good Mons were hurt. Plus I love seeing her big pink booty in gyms
I have eight 5k eggs and one 10k eggs. I reeeealllly hope one of them is a Growlithe. I am annoyed that my fantastic new Arcanine is 2 power-ups away from being maxed out. I already used up all the candies from the 2 Growlithe I've ever found. If I could hatch a Growlithe, I'd have enough to keep my Arcanine maxed out for the next trainer level or 2. So 2-3 weeks at least.
I am out of eggs! I was spoiled before i went on maternity leave bc the area around my office has 10+ pokestops on just the walk to/from my car, plus there is a popular area with even more spots that always have lures down.
I just checked on reddit and found out that our library has 3 stops, so I'm going to try and hot it up today to restock

good luck! Emptying your egg inventory is the best way to get a 10k egg.
Wow Wines Not Whines, what a great lineup! Incredible diversity, fantastic CP, especially for level 22. Really stellar! I don't think you can go wrong with any of those! A Kabutops?!? Very rare!
Here's a good website for checking move sets. If one of your Mons has the worst moveset, and you can somewhat easily evolve another one, I wouldn't power up the one you have. I would use it (without powering it up) until you can evolve a new one with hopefully a better moveset. Like that Arcanine, if it has bulldoze (terrible move, mine had it unfortunately) I wouldn't power it up, I would try to evolve a new one with a better move. Same goes for a Vaporeon with water pulse (worst move). I'd use the one you have without powering it up, and start saving candies to evolve another one. I am happy to answer questions about any particular Mon you have or their move sets. But overall, great evolving my friend! I'm super impressed.
ETA: that being said, if you're highly unlikely to see a particular Pokemon again, by all means power up the one you have. Like the Arcanine I caught, I will never see again, Growlithe simply do NOT spawn here. So I am absolutely powering him up even though he has the worst special move (bulldoze). I still love him
