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

hm I thought each evolve is 1k exp?

ah ok thanks.

guess I utilize it well then, from lvl 14 to 17 in 30 mins

time to hunt for more bird

it was my first lucky egg as well today I think I only managed 40+, been a rookie making all those mistakes ( lvl animation, check time remaining etc)

Nope i did not use the Fav function, and i even spent time trading off pidgeotto to get more pidgey candy

pidget to pidgeotto, because it give you the volume with least candy required. (12)

regardless of how many candies you used for each evolve, you only get awarded 500XP (x2 with lucky egg). so spam the most 'cost effective' lvl up is spam on pidget, caterpie and weedle

Yes you get extra 500XP (x2 with lucky egg) if you evolve something you never caught

but your candy cost will be more than double to evolve pidgeot. (50 vs 12) You can effectively upgrade 4 pidgets (48 candies required) vs 1 Pidgeotto (50 candies required)

so my advise is still spam evolve pidget, as your aim is to get more XP and lvl up.

Once your level is higher you are bound to find these pokemon in the wild somewhere, or you can just evolve one for collection.

you can trade but it is registered on pokedex so no more bonus of 500XP

basically you can only register a new pokemon on pokedex once.

just prepare more, I think 80 is sufficient unless you do the restart thing. sometimes my phones longer than usual to log in so I just let the game flow.

mark all the pokemon you wish to evolve as favourite, you should do at least 50-60 easily depending on how many new pokemon there is.

magikarp - usually near sea or river. Cant speak for Msia but in Singapore places like Vivo / MBS area are magikarp nest. I just sit there (within 3 pokestops) and they spawn like sperms lol. I basically sit there 3 hours = minimum 50-60 magikarp. Now i have an IV 90 gyarados with perfect move set

Restart means once u press "evolve" then u kill the apps and reload because the evolve animation take away your precious time. But you need to make sure your phone load the apps faster that animation period.

Bro, after evolve pidget / weedle / caterpie I just trade them for more candies. You wont use these pokemon for figthing wo.

** I saw in the other thread you can actually readjust the time on your phone and the timer will follow the time on your phone? This is kinda cheating but anyone tried?

ok so ic may proceed, many thanks!

common to evolve a 13xx CP gyarados? The Magikarp was 13x CP and the IV calculator show min. 88% IV. So the only random is the move set?

i already evolved the magikarp earlier, no twister perfect move set.

now waiting for better IV magikarp, had a few 130 - 140 but the IV was sad.

Just saw a friend posted on fb his 171 CP magikarp end up having twister. he was going mad lol

means u kill the apps as soon as you confirm the evolve. Then click to load the application again.

you can trail run how many seconds you can kill and restart the app, if lesser than the animation then you can evolve more.

nope, it runs with the time on your phone

i have not personally tried it, we have a few user here shared they did it.

those of you who did the on/off method, on average how many seconds you need to close and open apps?

i did an experiment, my phone take 11 - 15 seconds

ok so I just tried the on/off method, managed to evolve 86 pokemons with 3 minues to spare!!

90 is easy, I made some small mistakes here and there

tips: for weedle, caterpie and pidget. keep the lower cp ones. if you keep high cp some of the lower cp you evolve will still have lower cp than the weedle / caterpie / pidget then you will waste time as they are mixed up.

I sort of time myself based on time remaining on the lucky egg, fastest was 15 seconds and average can count 18-20 seconds. Later phase will be slower cos u need to browse down the pokemon list.

phone dependent and seems like Androids are slower for some reason, my Huawei Mate 8 takes around 10 seconds. And i purpose restart my phone before i start.

dont think you can decide, just keep hunting. try lvl up faster to 22-25 I think you will see higher cp
