most of the time google play signals game as inncompatible when they are not,mainly because the company that released it never bothered to check some kind of smartphone
you can try...takes zero effort and if it doesn't work for some reason at least you tried
haters gonna hate. i found a lot of instincts locally. im in a facebook group for instinct too, we meet up at certain areas to take gyms together. i'm typically a very introverted person so the fact that i'm socializing due to this app is crazy

Guys I found out the easiest way to hatch eggs. Got a boat? Got gas money to spare? Go on a nice speed and cruise. 😎

About to play and...servers died.
To be fair, it is worded strangely. The fact that it's in the evolve section is a bit confusing. Appreciate the work you've done, just offering some feedback.
This makes it sound like if you evolve a Pokemon after waiting a few trainer levels, it'll be stronger than if you evolved it when you caught it. Instead, I'd change the wording to:
Obviously this needs editing, but I can see how it is confusing.
Did I just saw a stealth release on Facebook in Egypt and they didn't even announced it themself...
Same with no official annoucement about asian countries so it's "hidden" in the comments

I love this game. But at the point servers should be better.
I'm in CST and I can tell when west coasters wake up because the servers become horrible. Before that everything is so speedy lol

You know what just dawned on me.
The reason Ditto isn't out yet? They're going to be implementing breeding in some way.
Breed your Pokemon (or maybe just with Ditto) to get another of that Pokemon in an egg. Then you can hatch it or give it to a friend to hatch...or maybe even leave them at PokeStops.

pls?
I gave my trainer a yellow jacket and I'm already blonde so for some reason any other team besides Instinct just seems wrong. + Zapdos rules.
I think most people are basing their color after the version they had as a kid. Not many people got yellow version comparatively.

I've resorted to this as well... I fear I will soon break down and buy some BP upgrades. But 2 bucks for 50 slots feels ridiculously overpriced

Giving up that quickly instead of facing a tough challenge? Yeah, Valor sounds like a good fit for you.
That's exactly what I meant, I will rephrase it
Just saw that Quonny put together some clearer language as well, thank you. I want to mention the curved bar for sure so people don't get confused. And I really appreciate the feedback guys. Maybe not so much the being told I fucked someone, but I want the answers to be as helpful and complete as possible. Barely anything is explained in-game and I think threads like these should try to be really welcoming to new players.
This was the question I'm amending the answer to:Quonny said:
So I think it fits, right?
Saw a reply on the facebook page saying any technical problem should be send through that page: https://support.pokemongo.nianticlabs.com/hc/fr
Pretty much where I'm at. After getting up very early for work and doing all the things I need to do to prep for the next day, it can be a chore to will myself to walk out of the house. Getting out and having 5 minutes of time playing before the servers crash is really demoralizing, even more so when it's pretty much every day.
This is becoming WoW: TBC levels of bad servers...and I'm not sure how they can fix it. You would have assumed that for the straight novelty players, that effect would have worn off after a week. I'm sure they've jettisoned plenty of players by having server issues all afternoon Sunday and yesterday, but it's actually gotten worse tonight.

So I just caught a Sandslash. It has 78CP. My highest Sandshrew is about 168CP IIRC (Servers down so I can't check). I have 100+ Sandshrew candies. Should I use the candies on the Sandslash or evolve one of the higher Sandshrews? Unfortunately, this Sandslash has 2 ground moves. What would you guys suggest?
Evolve to save yourself the Stardust.
evolve da sandshrew cause it also gives you xp
edit: ^Well, he's also gonna use the remaining candy he has on the new Sandslash I would imagine
Third option, wait until you caught a higher CP sandshrew?

Apparently there is a gym in a hard to reach location in Magic Kingdom in Orlando and there is a giant line around the park for it.
Evolve a higher level Sandshrew. It will save on stardust and it seems like you have plenty of candies. If you evolved that Sandshrew it would probably end up being 300-400 CP. Sandslash will only get ~25 CP per upgrade so just imagine how much stardust it will cost to level your 78CP up to a comparable power.
holy shit awesome

Either that or they'll touch on the fan-favorite theories that Dittos are failed Mew experiments when they introduce Raids.
I was thinking about this actually the other day and I think breeding could be really cool. Either you yourself get the eggs or you're able to pass them on to other people.
This was brought on by the fact that I think this is the first Pokemon game where you can hatch Pokemon like Electabuzz, Magmar, and Jynx from eggs.

I requested a refund (and received it) for ALL the money I've spent on this game so far. Did it through iTunes.
I suggest anyone using PTC accounts do the same. This second mistake is too ridiculous to ignore.
I'll be back and likely make more purchases after it's been stable and fuck up free for a few weeks. I do very much want this to succeed and be fun. I just don't feel they should get away with taking money for a job they apparently are unable to handle.

So I fought my own team's gym, defeated one of the pokemon, lost to the second, and I guess I raised it's prestige while getting some XP?
So how do I put a pokemon in the gym to help defend it? And will I be able to use that pokemon to fight other gyms while it's in my team's gym.?

Two ground moves is good. Generally speaking, you want Pokemon to have to moves of the same type. Because you are limited in when you can use charge moves, fast moves are probably actually responsible for most of your damage output, so you want them to be SE, but if your fast move is SE, you're going to want your charge move to be as well because you have limited opportunities to use it and are going to be picking attackers based on the SE status of their fast move. So unlike the actual mainline games, doubling up on the same type is best.

How do I keep running put of Pokeballs 300 XP before level up?
This is the third time.
This is the third time.
So after hours of experimentation I decided to do a little write up about CP so people can understand it better. It's a bit long, so bear with me.
Above your Pokemon you will find 2 CP Indicators.
1. CP Number = That big number above your Pokemons head.
2. Percent Bar = The white semi circle above your Pokemon that fills up.
The CP Number is your Pokemons current Combat Points, and Percent Bar is the maximum amount of Combat Points your Pokemon can obtain.
Example: If your Pokemon has 50 Combat Points, and the Percent Bar is at 50%, then the maximum number of Combat Points he can obtain is 100. This will fill the Percent Bar to 100%.
Every time your character levels up, the limit of your Percent Bar will increase by about 10%. So Pokemon with a 100% Bar will drop to 90%, but his CP will remain the same. This also effects all Pokemon that you catch! So as you level, you will start catching Pokemon with a much, much higher CP Number.
How does this effects leveling? The amount of Stardust and Candy needed to level a Pokemon is based on the Percent Bar! In other words, a CP 1000 Charizard with a 90% Bar, will cost the EXACT same amount of Stardust and Candy to level as a CP 500 Charmander with a 90% Bar.
How does this effect Evolution? When you Evolve a Pokemon, the Percent Bar remains in the exact same spot as it was prior to Evolution. A 70% Bar Pidgey will evolve into a 70% Bar Pidgeotto, but since the Pidgeotto has a much higher CP Cap, his CP Number will be much larger.
What does this mean? There is absolutely NO REASON to level up a Pokemon prior to Evolution. The amount of Stardust and Candy you spend to level up will be exactly the same Pre and Post Evolution.
Additionally, the amount of Stardust and Candy needed to level a Pokemon can go down as your character level rises. Since every level increases your Percentage Bar by 10%. A Pokemon that cost 1600 Stardust to level at 10 will only cost 1000 Stardust to level a level 15.
If this has already been posted, sorry. Just wanted to clear things up for anyone with Questions about CP.

Good luck getting service up there. Had no service the three days I was in Yosemite this summer. Which was grand.

Thanks, guys. That option sounds pretty sane. I'm also gonna get to lvl 9 soon, so I guess I'll hold off until I get to that level to see if I can find a better Sandshrew.
As for moveset, what should I be looking for? Variety like in the main games or is having 2 moves of the same type fine? Also, whicj secondary moves should I aim for? The weaker and faster ones or the stronger and slower ones?
Edit: Seems like this answers it.

Just hit level 11, still have no pokes above 350CP. Niantic pls.
Yep, that's what happened. You have to raise the prestige to a certain level (the denominator in the prestige) and then you'll be able to place a Pokemon there. And no, you can't use that Pokemon until it's knocked out of the gym.
That's legit and a good way to handle it. I do expect that they'll be focusing on some of these issues, and they're certainly hiring: https://nianticlabs.com/jobs/
