Waldo Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 I don't think I've hatched a Pokemon over CP 300 yet. My top 3 are all over 1000, top 15 are all over 600. 1 Quote currently cutting battle log challenges: 21,20, 19,18,17,16,15,14,13,12,11,10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 don't panic! Link to comment
miss_marissa Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 My strongest hatch was in the 600s (lapras from a 10k egg) which I then powered up to over 1000. My strongest catch right about the same (pidgeot) I have yet to do any evolves or power ups other than those so hard to say... 1 Quote Current Challenge # 39 | #38 | #37 | #36 | #35 |#34 | #33 | #32 | #31 | #30 | #29 | #28 | #27 | #26 | #25 | # 24 | #23 | #22 | #21 | #20 | #19 | #18 | #17 | #16 | #15 | #14 | #13 | #12 | #11 | #10 | #9| #8 | #7 | #6 | #5 | #4 | #3 | #2 | #1 | Battle Log Instagram | Goodreads Link to comment
Mike_d85 Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 I guess the radar is lying to me. I keep taking extra long walking home from work trying to find the Charmander and Meowth it keeps showing me and I can never pin down the locations. Just in case on my way home I will have to check pokevision because that charmander seems to be there every night at the end of my commute. I might open a Safari page on my iphone and refresh to see if it pops up. Charmander is the only starter pokemon I don't have. I hatched a Pikatchu this morning. Pretty strong too, just under 300. My squirtle is only 30. I think my bulbasaur might be even lower. 1 Quote My Battle Log I'm on Strava for my running now. Check out Kick! too. You unlock gear with your progress on Strava.

karinajean Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 aw, you guys, you should ALWAYS battle a gym. I mean, even if it's levels above you and you don't think you can beat it if you are attacking you will get to use 6 pokemon and you can take down stuff! plus if you're like me and totally rudimentary about pokemon then it helps understand who beats who. plus you've probably got dozens and dozens of revives and potions, might as well use them up too. 4 Quote 2014! #1 | #2 | #3 | #4 | #5 2015! #6 | #7 | #8 | #9 | #10 | #11 | #12 | 2016! #13 | #14 | #15 | #16 | #17 | #18 | #19 | #20 | #21 | #22 | #23 | 2017! #24 | #25 | #26 | #27 | #28 | #29 | #30 | #31 | #32 | #33 | 2018! #34 | #35 | #36 | #37v1 | #37v2 | 2019! #38 | #39 | #40 | reference materials | academy battle log mermaid ninja assassin. on a motorcycle. with swords. and knitting needles. and kittens.

Marauder Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 My highest 4 are all evolved, then captured, then evolved for most of the rest of the top 10. I think my 10th position one was a capture. My eggs stink so far as far as CP goes. I've gotten some unique pokemon that way, but never very high powered. I've only had one 10km egg though. 2 Quote Rangering since Sept 2015 Link to comment

Marauder Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 because Niantic explains it better than me... from their site. "A Gym’s level is determined by its prestige. As a Gym earns prestige, it increases in level. The higher a Gym’s level, the more Pokémon can be assigned to it, which makes it harder for rival Teams to capture. A Gym’s prestige increases when you assign a trained Pokémon to it, and also when teammates assign additional Pokémon." when you are viewing the gym screen, you can see it's prestige... like 4500/8000 in the top left (on iPhone anyway) 1 Quote Rangering since Sept 2015 Link to comment
Raincloak Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 Gyms can have up to 8 Pokemon in them I believe. Fight an allied gym to boost its Prestige (make more room), fight an enemy gym to lower its Prestige (kick out its Pokemon) and eventually empty it). Use potions and revives to heal pokemon injured in fights. When you assign a Pokemon to a gym, quickly open up Shop and tap the shield icon to get 10 free Pokecoins. You can do this every 20 hours. You can use Pokecoins to buy stuff like extra Pokeballs or a bigger storage bag. If you assign Pokemon to multiple gyms you can get more coins, but leaving a gym unattended makes it pretty likely someone will come along and kick out your 'mons, at least around here... Hand raised Pokemon are stronger than wild caught ones. Every time I hatch an egg the Pokemon that pops out is at or near max CP for my trainer level. Next best is raising a good level 1 caught in the wild with candy. Catching a wild level 2 or 3 Pokemon usually isn't worth the Pokeballs unless it's very rare, cause they're weak. I just ignore the Golbats and Fearows that turn up around here unless I'm bored. Though I did toss a berry and one red ball at a wild Poliwhirl just for fun, and it snuggled right into the ball. Guess it really wanted to come home with me... if only higher level Pokemon came with more candy. (I have plenty of Poliwags cause I live by the beach!) 4 Quote Every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future. Hylian Assassin 5'5", 143 lbs. Half-marathon: 3:02It is pitch dark.

I haven't caught a fighter since a 620 Kingler back at level 14 (a few minutes after that Kingler I also caught a 600-ish Pinsir), both of those were when hanging at a triple lured spot. But....

As I get higher level I get better stuff from my eggs (but not max CP necessarily, usually mid to high range.) A rattata from a 10K egg is just mean! From my reading about on the Pokemon Go reddit, some people surmised that what you get from an egg is based on when you got the egg, not when you hatched it, so I suppose if you got the 10k egg earlier on and hatched it later you could get a sad lame Pokemon that way?
