CP of wild pokemon found depends on trainer level. Pokemon type depends on location, not the pokemon level..

Highest CP in your pokedex is not a factor.

1 thing i hate about this game, they very kedekut xp.

negisf is correct. You'll only need 782 candies to evolve 78 Pidgeys if you transfer all the resultant Pidgeottos after the evolve.

782 will evolve 65 Pidgeys. Left with 2 candies and 13 Pidgeys.
The evolve and transfer will give 65+65 candies. So left with 132 candies

132 will evolve 11 Pidgeys. Left with 2 Pidgeys.
The evolve and transfer will give 11+11 candies. So left with 22 candies

22 will evolve 1 Pidgey. Left with 10 candies and 1 Pidgeys.
The evolve and transfer will give 1+1 candies. So left with 12 candies

12 will evolve your last 1 Pidgey.

But not recommended because the transfer of 77 Pidgeys will take significant time.

Of course, They don't have to be all Pidgeys. This is my last mass evolve.

1 Bellsprout	1 Bulbasaur	3 Caterpie
1 Dratini	7 Eevee	1 Ekans
1 Gastly	1 Geodude	1 Goldeen
1 Krabby	1 Nidoran ♂	1 Paras
32 Pidgey	1 Poliwag	2 Psyduck
11 Rattata	1 Slowpoke	1 Spearow
1 Venonat	7 Weedle	2 Zubat

Yes, when mass evolve pidgeys, even if it's CP is 10, it will still evolve.
I haven't evolved my Magikarp because it's 400 candies and I want to catch a good one first.

The player level determines the level cap of the pokemon caught. I'm not sure exactly but I think it's max 2 levels higher than trainer level. If you're lvl 16, the pokemon caught may be max lvl 18.

Indeed, nothing more disastrous than a Pokemon Go driver versus a Pokemon Go Pedestrian.

This game is so buggy/broken.

1) GPS is not accurate
2) GPS does not update your location as you move
3) GPS bounce your location all over, sometimes across the highway even

4) no pokemon radar
5) always hangs, needs to reboot always
6) phone heats up quickly

7) pokestop sometimes do not work, either white screen or ask you to try later when it is still blue (but after you tap it, it changes to pink without giving you anything)
8) no trading option, cannot swap pokemon and resources with another player
9) no difference between capture of low cp and high cp pokemon, reward system still gives the same xp points.

I wish
1) radar circle to be doubled, help make pickup easier
2) hatching eggs at any speed
3) fixed the game difficulty/reward system

I think different phones got different problems mate, and also if you use different Telco for the GPS problems.

My Xiaomi Note 2 can never register GPS properly and not accurate (using Maxis line) but my iPhone 6+ had no problem, accurate down to the last 10 meters even (using Celcom line). However Celcom line is finicky in my area so when I tether my iPhone to my Xiaomi every thing works proper but the Xiaomi still face problems. Also the Xiaomi Note 2 hangs more often while the iPhone hardly hangs. My friends Galaxy Note 4 also had same problem with GPS (Maxis line) and cant work properly inside the car while poke hunting. And my iPhone doesn't heat as much as Xiaomi (btw having phone calls for 15 mins heats it faster than Pokémon Go over couple of hours).

Pokestop does not work coz sometimes the lag between registering and moving fast. Happens to me when I drive fast past a stop. Never had white screen before (and I've swiped over 1000 pokestops).

Trading option coming soon according to website sources.

the rare pokemon will appear at the same spot?

Level 22 now which is the most gg, 100k exp needed, i think alot of ppl r stuck here. Anyway i have 3 lucky eggs meaning i only used 2 to get to 22

Could it be problem with your phone. Here we play on iPhone 6s, 5c and iPad4. The GPS ok. Indoors, it will jump but not much, maybe 50m down the road. It's good for hatching eggs. At times where there's "No GPS Signal Detected", I just toggle wifi off/on and it goes away.



For me on iPhone 6s, so far got 1 hang, I mean can still open pokemon bag but map cannot rotate. Had to quit and reopen app. The iPhone 5c runs very hot when playing. Other than that, quite ok, stable for me.



If I go to pokestop, spin and exit very fast, the pokestop will remain blue and "Try again later" if try to spin again. But actually the items is already collected. Check the journal.

My daughter is using iPhone 5c with 64kbps data (very slow). When playing with no wifi, she will get entire screen white when trying to catch a new pokemon. Just have to wait. I think is transferring graphics and whatnot.

Make sure you let Niantic know.

yes, dont transfer when u r doing mass evolve coz its waste of time doing so.
its dont hv to be all pidgey, any others pokemon will do as well

u wasted 1 egg bro.
should had use one at lv17 only

wah gg move set lehhh....
why power up?

but the move set kinda meh

Currently 22.8. Almost there. Still got 4 lucky eggs and preparing for 3rd mass evolve. Lvl 23-24 is 125k!

can u do 125 pokemon in 30min?

No way. Not for me. Best is 73/84.

Did some analysis of my PG XP for another thread. Posting the results here too. May be interesting info.

Counting Friday Aug 20 as day 14. As of this post, I have 428503 XP.


So my average is: 428503/14 = 30607 XP/day

I've used 2 lucky eggs for mass evolve (Tip #1) for 69k and 84k XP. If minus that, my daily average for catching, hatching, spinning and battling but not evolving is:
(428503-69000-84000)/14 = 275503/14 = 19679 XP/day

Money spent so far, USD4.99 for 2 x bag storage (Tip #10). It's for collecting balls when I'm out cause my house is not in range of a pokestop. I have a helper bot (Tip #18) which collects balls from pokestops as I drive pass them at certain times of the day and certain days of the week. For safety reasons.

Lucky egg evolves will contribute significantly. Other things that contribute to XP not taken into account here:
Every 100th same Pokemon caught bonus (Tip #6): 100XP
Pokemon Flee (Tip #16): 25XP
New Pokemon in Pokedex Bonus: 500XP (best save for lucky egg)
Every unique 10 Pokestop bonus (Tip #3): 50XP
Battle Win XP: ??? (I don't battle gyms much)

Aiming to do my 3rd mass evolve tomorrow. Was planning for today but I only have 71 evolves, I usually prepare 78. This will skew the above calculations even more.

how come i evolve under lucky egg only 1k exp each?

Normally you get 500XP for an evolve. With lucky egg, you should get double XP. So 500 x 2 = 1000. 1k exp each should be correct.

hm I thought each evolve is 1k exp?
