Go pump the panadols and then hunt...hahahaah
Sigh... I miss target yesterday also. Larvitar spawn everywhere except my 10km radius....

Need 80 more candies to hit my target.... provided RNG dun fucuk with me.

Can one.. 2 days with pinap more than enough time.
lol.. Not if niantic releases gym update immediately.

A quick update about the new "shadowbans" that Niantic has implemented starting sometime around May 20.  This refers to the recent change by Niantic where accounts that are suspected to be illicit are not outright banned but instead are flagged so that rare pokemons are no longer visible to the account. 

Currently we don't know the trigger that causes your account to be flagged, but this "shadowban" seems to be hitting bots as well as mappers.  So far, the best guess is that the shadowban is triggered by a multitude of factors, with some of the important factors being long activity time (3+ hours online) and distance walked.  Walking more than 100km (assuming per day limit) seems to increase the risk of being shadowbanned.  So bottom line is that if you suddenly notice that your account is not catching any rares, then your account is shadowbanned.

Dunno.

Less ppl, spoofer, bot battling gyms = last longer.

Nice one!

Off the top of my head.... assuming can bring 6:
1) Tyranitar Bi/Cr (still don't have one) or Bi/SE
2) Gyarados Bi/Cr (still don't have one)
3) Umbreon
4) Scizor / Scyther
5) Gengar
6) Backup - Exeggutor (with SB), D9 (DT/OR)

A lot of glass cannon up there... LOL.

Huh...means I can boost up my ttar all the way!  Ok will get ready then!

I updated and played. No difference also.

BAN WAVES INKAMBING!!!!

take that spoofers and flyers and botters!!!!

muahahahaahahahhaha

My local gym will be very much peaceful finally

Ppl just need something new to talk about.. Lol.
Freaking drop a new feature.
Bro, assuming niantic does stop all type of cheaters ya, then part of this exercise leaves us in a conundrum as well.. I.e. No more trackers/scanners/calculators...

So, if we look at existing legit players in isolation, without trackers etc, would the crowd increase or decrease?

My plan is the opposite of yours

With the limited play time, I'm gonna junk the excess pots/revive inventory (maybe keep 100 max revs and 50 max pots) and prioritize balls especially greats and ultras and pinaps while building up more dust and XP.

Also as practice for great and excellent throws which I've not been able to do with great success lately.

Coins can always just buy. After all, 550 coins cost less than a frappucino in starbucks here.

The rework is just a couple days away, I'm sure the power ups can wait and we'll only know what they come out with by then.

As for new players... the mechanism for levelling up faster is already there no? ... ie: Lvl 36 to 37 takes the same amount of XP as Lvl 0-30

But as it is now, its so incredibly boring and demotivating for new players and frankly... adding more complexities like breeding wont' interest anyone that's not already in the game.

So that's the uphill task for Niantic here... gen 2 release and all the events so far had done little more than getting existing players active again for a short while. Nobody plays forever, even you and me. 

A social game needs a huge player base and they need to get new players in

Just curious, what can Niantic do (if any), besides a good gym rework to get you re-excited or more excited about the game?

How's the event and grind been for everyone so far?

To make things worse... I've been pinap'ing like crazy.... swinub I pinap, charmader also pinap, 1.4K lapras sumpah tak kisah pinap also, 2K snorlax also no kasi face pinap also. Now pinap left 30 only.

Basically if a mon (based on your experience) should be caught with the appropriate ball and throw but still escape, its time to go out and masuk again.

Depend on how deep is your bench and candy reserve.

Personally I'm pinap-ing swinubs cos they are super rare in my area, firespin overheat flareons (even with crap IV) for prestiging and trying to get a high IV FB/Bz Lapras. And maybe some charmanders on the sideline for my charizard project

According to the forecast, its gonna be raining 24/7 like this until after the event so things are looking bleak. I've got 300K+ XP to go so buying loads of incubators just to somewhat participate in the event.
On another note, finally have enough candies to evolve and max 3rd blissey.

Current Blisseys

3098 P/DG @ 38.5
3075 P/HB @ 38.5

Candidate is 91% 12/15/14 Chansey which should hit 3103 @ 39

Should I evolve now? Or wait? What do you guys think?
