so do we finally know the impact size has? hatched a tiny snorlax the other week and need to know if I should rage or not
Maybe but go hubs leak said it was tied to each hemisphere so ice would be for winter in southern hemisphere. Hope you're right though.

What matters more, IV or CP and moveset? For instance I have a blastoise with water gun and hydro pump at 71 iv and 1300 cp vs. One at 93 with water gun ice beam at 874. Which one should I level in that case?
im at the point where I don't even care if I miss my daily spin. tired of turning on the game, checking the pokemon around me and seeing nothing but beginner garbage.
Attacker: Moveset Defender: IV You shouldn't level a Blastoise at all, it's a waste of dust. It'll never realistically sit in a gym (low max CP) and you don't really need to level attackers since all they gain is a bit of HP anyway.
if i dont get a piloswine and typhlosion out of this i will... Spoiler keep playing until i get them.
Planning on parking my ass in front of 2 Central Market pokestops with lure/incense/eggs for about an hour after I get off work.
if i somehow dont get both by the end of this event, i likely am incapacitated in some form. online map shows city is littered with swinub and cyndaquil now. practically on every corner.
finally have 180 larvitar candies and enough to get my first tyranitar all the ones i've hatched and caught have been larvitards and not over 80% iv one of them is a 75% at lvl 30 i caught though
Just caught a Vulpkx for the first time since last summer, also got my first Swinub. This could be great in my area because I may finally get to evolve a Rapidash and Ninetails.
the XP alone is what makes this good. 600 XP for a Great First throw catch. going to try to use this to get my Gold Ice medal then I'll just need a bit more Electric and Fighting and a shitload more Steel.
30 min on the road and i already got piloswine from the swinubs, and halfway to typhlosion. best event yet. that new gold fire medal is going to be nice when i'm catching moltres this summer...
lvl'd from 21 to 25 just today, caught/evolved a 95% Cloyster with Frost Breath + Avalanche and hatched a 98% Pinsar
fire starter full evolve. gen 2 charizard. unless i screwed up his name and have no idea what i'm talking about ... never played gold and silver games.
so gotta walk a long ways with my pupitar and flaafy, somehow randomly come across an unown which will never happen, and then i'll be done with my pokedex for gen 1 and 2. thanks fire and ice event.
event's been good. I'm not going out and catching (I might not do this again till gen 3 or at least until the gym rework), just opening the app every 20 minutes or so. Caught a Lapras and a bunch of Shellder/Swinub/Growlithe and a decent amount of Cyndaquil and Charmander.
Not gonna lie, I came home and had the map up and saw a tyranitar spawn a town over. 27 min up and 24 min to get there...i drove it and got him. There were 10 other people there when I did at this random ass fountain in the suburbs all with phones out. Glad to know I'm not the only loser. Only need unown and 25 more candies for amphorus or whatever he's called and I'm done.
Yeah...I don't have that kinda dedication, Pupitar was my walking buddy, hatched a 10K Larvitar egg and boom had enough candy for Tyranitar...hooray
I might or might not have left my house at 1:20 AM on a weekday to walk 10 mins to catch a Pupitar near me 2 days ago
Opened up at the house today: Lapras, Magmar, Rhyhorn, Ponyta x2, Swinub, Vulpix, Shellder Weirdest screen I've ever seen. Caught them all, Magmar was actually max level for me.
details on the gym update http://pokemongo.nianticlabs.com/en/post/raids Spoiler June 19, 2017 Raid Battles and New Gym Features are Coming! Trainers, The biggest update to Pokémon GO is nearly here! Very soon, Trainers around the world will be able to participate in a revamped Gym gameplay experience, including the opportunity to join together with others to battle against powerful Pokémon in the new Raid Battle feature! New Gym Features and Updates: Starting soon, Gyms are undergoing a major facelift. You’ll soon be able to spin the Photo Disc at Gyms to acquire items just as you do at PokéStops—but that’s only the beginning. More updates to Gym battles are also just around the corner. Gyms are no longer based on Prestige and training. Instead, they now feature six permanent slots that can be filled by the controlling team’s Pokémon. Each Pokémon assigned to these slots must be unique. For example, only one Blissey can be assigned to a Gym at a time. In addition, opposing teams will battle the Pokémon in the order they were assigned to the Gym. At the heart of the update is a new motivation system that will significantly change how you interact with Gyms. When a Pokémon is assigned to a Gym, a motivation meter will be displayed. Pokémon assigned to defend a Gym lose motivation over time and as they are defeated in battle. As a Pokémon loses motivation, its CP will temporarily decrease, making it easier for opposing teams to defeat. To help keep the Pokémon motivated and in tip-top shape for their next battle, Trainers can treat their team’s Pokémon to some Berries, which restore their motivation. If a Pokémon loses all motivation, it will leave the Gym and return to its Trainer the next time it loses a battle, so you’ll want to keep your team’s Pokémon motivated by giving them Berries frequently! Gym Badges: Now you’ll be able to earn Gym Badges when interacting with the many Gyms around the world. Gym Badges serve as mementos of your Pokémon GO adventures and reflect your contribution to a Gym’s success. You’ll be able to level up your Badges by battling, giving Berries to the Pokémon in the Gym and spinning the Gym’s Photo Disc. You can earn the opportunity to receive bonus items and increased rewards from Gyms by raising the level of your Gym Badge. New Raid Battle Feature: All around the world, you’ll soon be able to participate in the new Raid Battle feature at Gyms. A Raid Battle is a cooperative gameplay experience that encourages you to work with other Trainers to defeat an extremely powerful Pokémon known as the Raid Boss. Before a Raid Battle begins, all Pokémon assigned to the Gym will return to their Trainers, and a large Egg will appear atop the Gym. When the countdown above the Egg reaches zero, the Raid Boss will be revealed. Before you can battle the Raid Boss, you’ll need a Raid Pass. You can get one free Raid Pass per day by visiting a Gym, but you can only hold one at a time. You can also get Premium Raid Passes from the in-game shop. Upon using your pass to join the battle, you and up to 20 other Trainers work together to defeat the Raid Boss. If you successfully defeat the Raid Boss within the five-minute time limit, you’ll have the chance to catch an extra powerful Pokémon of your own! New Items: After defeating a Raid Boss, you’ll receive a collection of rewards, including some new items obtained only by defeating a Raid Boss: Rare Candies, Golden Razz Berries, and two types of Technical Machines—Fast and Charged. A Rare Candy is a mysterious candy that, when used on a Pokémon, turns into that Pokémon’s Candy. Golden Razz Berries will greatly increase your chances of catching a Pokémon you encounter in the wild and can also be given to a Pokémon assigned to a Gym to fully recover its motivation meter. Technical Machines are items you can use to permanently teach a Pokémon a new Fast Attack or Charged Attack. To put these exciting changes in motion, we’ll be temporarily disabling all Gyms. Once the update has been rolled out to players around the world, Gyms will return. The Raid Battle feature will then be rolled out slowly over the next few weeks, starting as a beta, with raids visible only to a subset of players at certain Gym locations. Over a few days, we’ll invite more players to participate and enable raids at more Gyms around the world. Keep an eye on our social media channels for updates on when you’ll be able to start battling in raids. We can’t wait to see you outside battling at your local Gyms! —The Pokémon GO team
