Pokemon Go

Yeah, they change hands pretty frequently. But if you've got lots of revives/potions it can be easy exp, I guess.

Level 16 now.

Roger that... 👍

Yes the same shield. When you first take a gym click the shield, you'll get the coins and the timer counts down.

If you take subsequent gyms the number on the shield increases but you don't get extra coins until the timer counts down.

I had 3 gyms the other day, got 10 coins for the first one and nothing else, lost all gyms within 3 hours.

I, for one, will be intersted to see the nickname @iamtwilliams gives a cloyster when he gets one.

Thanks, sort of what I figured. Captured a second one this morning before claiming to get the second set of coins.

Battle clitoris

I've been tapping my Pokémon to attack, seems to work but I'll try this next time... Deffo gonna do the special attack now, had no idea how to do that before...

Best album title ever...

Yeah I don't think it's advanced enough to take directional attacks, the special attacks are ace when they work tho.

@>>>>>> are you switching pokemon when you fight multiple enemies in a gym? a small arrow icon appears during the fight that lets you change which pokemon you are using during a fight. useful if you get a mismatch and your attacks end up being 'not very effective'

not sure how it picks the pokemons available, either cp or from your favourites would be my guess. try favouriting your strongest ones and see if it offers you more than one to fight with next time.

I've tried all of those things but sometimes I fight only one guy and other times I get a long procession of Pokémon and the fight times out before I can seal the deal... Usually with me in a winning position, which is bloody annoying...

when you start a battle there's an array of the 6 pokemon which will be available to you. these will be by default your favorites, as long as they have 100% HP. Otherwise they'll be the ones with highest CP at 100% HP. you can change any one of them by tapping it and choosing another, before you start the battle (GO)

the number of pokemon in the gym depends on the gym level. you can level up a gym of your own team by 'training' which is basically a battle but you can only use one of your pokemon instead of 6. i've found it's much easier to install a pokemon by taking over a rival gym rather than propping up an existing gym, however if you do the latter (and your pokemon is top) it will last in the gym longer.

In regards to collecting coins via gyms and defender bonus...

You get 10 coins and 500 stardust for each gym you have a pokemon in when you click the defender bonus. You can do this once every 21 hours.

Really you want to get as many gyms at once then click it but they are getting taken over within a few minutes near me.

Oh, so don't click the shield until you've taken a few, good tip!

given that Japan seems to have broken things again this morning, http://ispokemongodownornot.com/ is a good site to check

Anyone mastered the curveball throw yet?

I can throw the buggers, but I can't hit a Pokémon with them for toffee

After reading what Cazakstan says further down the page this style of fighting is totally different to normal way. I wonder why they didn't stick with the classic format? The new style of fighting seems less centred around tactics and planning and more about tapping the screen fast. Does it even matter what 'type' of pokemon you're fighting? I remember that fire had a hard time against water...is that still the same?

Thats right, i think it's a max of 10 you can control then click so you get 100 coins and 5k dust.

I've been playing a lot of pokemon fire red on an emulator on my phone, also watching it with my kid on Netflix, am I broken?

Ain't got a cloyster yet. Here's my latest bunch.

Don't really get the whole battling thing. Do you just tap as fast as you can? Is there any point in dodging?

Pinch Daddy is lulz.
