don’t forget that you can also gain candies by trading. Anything that you don’t want to keep but you might need the candies for (couple examples: machop, eevee, dratini, scyther, bagon etc etc.) is worth trading because the IV get’s rerolled. I got atleast 5 100% Pokemon since the trading system came out. Keep 12 candy and 25 candy pokemon (which only have 1 evolution) for mass evolves with lucky eggs for lots of xp, then transfer them all at once.
For IV checks you might wanna use an app. CalcyIV or PokeGenie are best. You can use sites too but it takes up too much of your time that way.
No need to wipe them when you level up. Just Change your level in Poke Genie. Anything you Power Up you want to put through the Battler should be re-checked and it will over right the existing one. Not sure how it knows or does this but I know from experience it does.
Can’t understand why Niantic could not just give the numbers (stat DEF ATT STA) instead of having players use third party software to just approximate it. just 3 bunches of 15s (15 15 15) is not much burden to the system, I think, than using those 3 Gym Leaders who talk same things most of the time and not even come to exact numbers better than PokeGenie or Calcy IV.
Hate when games get so much going on you need a 3rd party app just to make sense of it. IMO that’s a game flaw. A well made game shouldn’t need 3rd party apps… at least not a small game like this.
Reminds me of Borderlands… when you have room for 1 more gun and you need to get a calculator out to decipher which shotgun is better.
Few small changed I’d like to see made to the game. That being one.
That’s a poor reason… implies the original was so good it never needs improvement. It can obviously be improved, or else why is everyone downloading 3rd party apps.
IVs were always meant to be hidden and only matter for the competitive, they probably didnt want to confuse people with IVs, EVs/DVs and others
Thats why they put in appraisals/characteristics
I dunno… needs to have something a bit quicker to look at than having to click appraise and go through 5 screens of blah-blah-blah. I saw a YouTube video that said you can skip through the appraisal quicker tapping the screen with X number of fingers at once but, never worked for me.
I think the line under the character that says HP ##/## should simply include the other numbers as well.
I do understand your point there, maybe they really JUST want IVs (ATT DEF STA) OBSCURE.
But on the other end, there’s a lot in there in Pokemon details that I think does not matter that much in the game, not like IVs as I have known just late in my pokemon go experience.
Here’s some of those details:
Weight
Height
Gender
if caught or hatched
placed caught or egg picked
date caught or hatched
Others that matters specially in battling
CP
HP
Type
Attacks
Others
Candies
So just thinking if they could had just used the data for IVs instead of the weight, height and gender? Just a wishful thinking…
Gender sorta makes sense, some evolve differently (Nidoran) but I would rather the male/female symbol next to the name than and actual spot on the screen that says gender.
But ha, stuff like size doesn’t seem to affect anything. I thought maybe it was a factor, like… smaller is quicker, larger is slower but more damage per hit… but nope… having to have a screen where the appraiser tells you it’s colossal is just another screen to skip.
That’s the point… unless they have something for “THOSE” in the future…
Regarding the Nidorans, I believe both gender have their own entries in the Pokedex, so it is too a sort of redundant, as Nidoran with a female gender evolves into Nidorina and then to Nidoqueen and the Nidoran with male gender evolves into Nidorino and then to NidoKing.
I just look now in my inventory and looks like blues are all females and purples are all male
The only one where you really need to know Gender currently is Ralts/Kirlia.
Female will evolve into Gardivor
Males will evolve into Gallade (not currently available but any week/month now they will turn that one on as part of the Gen 4 roll out)
Breeding may come into the game later so it’s importace will change.
The size/weight has relevance currently for the Youngster and Fisherman Medals. Tiny Rattata for the Youngster and Big Magikarp for Fisherman
Yeh currently.
I should have written that a bit diffently in that’s once they make the rest of Gen 4 active the Males evolve to Gallade and the Females Gardivor.
So far this method has been working out well… especially after the community day. I catch one, immediately appraise for nothing more than to see if it says ‘wonder’ and if it does, I fav it.
End of the day, I go home to my tablet, open up the list sorted by recent and just transfer off everything without a star.
Once a week I plan to sort by name, look for duplicates and that’s where Poke Genie will come in handy.
