You Only Need 124 Candies for Those 3 Evolution Pokemon

Come Join My Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/OpachiiO/

Ever evolve a Pokemon using every last bit of candy you have for it, and you go to look at it and see this one candy just hanging there? It's okay you aren't crazy, I have been paying close attention to the Pokemon I evolve. Not only that, but I have a theory as to why this happens. It doesn't seem to be a glitch or bug either.

Don't mind the 34% battery life left on my phone, that's not what we are looking at. In the photos above I show that I have 100 Cubone candies. I figured having 50-100 candies for a Pokemon that takes 50 to evolve would be easier to show you get candies from evolving. After evolving the Cubone, I should be left with 50 candies right? So why do I have 51?

Many know by now that you get a total of 4 candies per Pokemon catch. 3 for the catch and 1 for transferring. Do we really get 3 candies for the catch itself? I don't believe so. I think we get 2 candies for catching the Pokemon and a candy from the Pokemon itself, then another candy when, if we wish to transfer the Pokemon. How does this effect evolving, though?

When you evolve, you aren't only getting a good amount of experience, or possibly a new Pokemon in your Pokedex, you are getting a "new" Pokemon as well. This is why I believe you receive candy from the Pokemon itself. When I evolved the Cubone, I didn't transfer it, and it shouldn't register as anything such, but I still got an extra candy when Cubone became Marowak. Since I didn't catch Marowak, I didn't receive the 3 candies for catching a Pokemon, making me think that you only get 2 candies for catching.

What do you think? Do you get a candy for the Pokemon, or when you evolve do you think it means you are transferring the Pokemon of your choice? 

Who's That Pokemon? Johto Pokerap

 Participate in the poll➝

That's right it's time for Pokerap number 2 for the Johto Pokemon, soon coming to the game. Rumor is the new 100 Pokemon will be added on the 7th of December. I don't normally believe rumors, but as I recall, when the game first came out, I was talking with a friend and we both thought new generations of Pokemon would be released about every 6 months. 

I'm not sure if Niantic is still on this track, but they use to give us updates on Wednesdays. The 7th is a Wednesday, and the games first release date was July 6th... also a Wednesday. I would say it's a safe speculation to believe, but don't get your hopes up. Anything can change the release of the Johto Pokemon. 

My first Pokerap was poorly done if I do say so myself. I didn't know what to write, there really wasn't anything else for me to add to this article Pokerap Kanto Pokemon. That's different for this one however.

Shiny Pokemon appearing with the release of the new Pokemon; a rumor started a while back. I was disappointed that they weren't already in the game, but then it all made sense. Shiny Pokemon weren't added until Johto, the most recognizable being Gyarados. Though this is only a rumor, it is one I hope for. It would give me, and other players something more to do if the Pokedex is already completed; complete the Pokedex with shiny Pokemon.

The Unknown Pokemon, though counted as only a Single Pokemon, there are 28 of these letter shaped Pokemon two of them are the explication point and question mark while the others are the 26 letters in the latent alphabet. These ancient Pokemon are used as a lost language, and are fun to mess with or even use as means to communicate with friends.

The Egg Pokemon also known as Togepi might be something like Ditto. Togepi isn't like most other Pokemon and can be seen running around with part of it's shell still on. If I had to make a guess Togepi will be only obtained through hatching. This is just my thought so don't hold me too it. As interesting as it may be to only obtain a Pokemon through hatching Niantic may have other plans.



New forms to existing Pokemon will also appear which is why many have already seen articles over them. The new forms however will come from these already existing Pokemon.

Get Accuracy Bonus Throws Everytime

Come Join My Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/OpachiiO/

In one of my latest posts, I covered how to get the accuracy "Nice" throw every time. Though many disbelieved I wouldn't cover how to get great and excellent throws, and just leave it at the "Nice" Bonus. Well, the truth is, I still need to collect data for the other bonuses and wasn't expecting to come across them both as fast as I did. I had an idea on how to get a Great throw often, but why settle for that when I can say I figured out how to get Excellent throws often. Getting an excellent throw is still hard to do, even after knowing how it's done. 

Many believe it all matters on how big the catch circle is, though that stands true, that isn't everything needed in order to get a bonus throw. The key to getting a bonus every time relies on not only the circle but also rather or not the ball lands in the catch circle, which is why it is so hard to get excellent throws unless you have mastered this technique. I'm still unsure rather the button of the ball needs to be facing the Pokemon, the main reason why is it doesn't seem to matter when I try for a "Nice" throw, but great and excellent it seems to matter, or I could just be barely missing the hit box for the accuracies. 

In the pictures below shows about where the catch circles need to be. Nice seems to be the most accurate screenshot of them all, but it's hard to time the delay just right. For both great and excellent, the circles need to be a tad bit smaller (or so I believe.) After you get the hang of accurate throws, you can then master the curve ball for the slightly increased catch rate alongside the accurate boost. Not to mention the extra experience given could boost the rate you level. 

The "L" throw people keep talking about (where you drag your Pokeball to either side of the screen.) seems to make it easier to throw curve balls, and maybe that's why it was implemented in the game. Hope these tips are as helpful for you as they are me, my family, and friends.

How to Get a "Nice" Throw Every time!

I'm unsure if this is a glitch or if it's programmed into the game, either way, I got Nice throws left and right. Until I figured out why now I get the accuracy bonus almost every time I go to catch a Pokemon. The times I don't however, are because the circle that grows and shrinks isn't the right size. Yes, that's right, the key to getting a nice throw all depends on the size of the ring indicating the difficulty of the catch rate. Not only that but did you know that the smaller the circle the better chance you have of catching a Pokemon? 

Unfortunately, in this case, you want the circle to be the largest it can get. I have noticed that if it's just below the white catch frame circle then you still have a fairly high chance of getting the "Nice" throw, but not every time, like when the circle is on the catch frames shown in the picture above. I know it doesn't show that I got a nice throw, but try to get that screenshot was hard enough, trying to make sure everything was set. 

Either way, this may take a bit of practice, kind of like getting the curveball down (I still haven't mastered the curveball). If you are able to time things right when you throw curveballs, then this little trick will help you get not only a 10 extra experience for each catch but 20 extra points. It may not be much, but after level 20 any little experience is well worth it. Let me know if you are able to get nice throws left and right after reading this... friends are amused with me able to do this. Don't forget that curveballs increase the catch rate and so do accuracy throws, being guaranteed a nice throw should surely help in harder catches.       

How to Take Gyms Down Easily

With many new players, and even players returning to the game after a long break from Pokemon here is a list of the Pokemon and their types. There are a few new ones that have been added, but what are they all weak against? What Pokemon can I use to take out a Fairy type? Well here is a list of the types and what they are weak against. If that isn't enough below the typing list will be a list of the same Pokemon, only with their weaknesses. The x2 means the moves are super effective against they type, leading to more damage. x.5 Means the move isn't very effective against that type leading to less damage.
Corrections to be made: x2 is actually X1.2 and .5 is suppose to be .8

Show Some Love

Here is Illminded's newest Video but you should definitely check out his video of him taking over a level 3 gym with the lowest Pokemon being 704 Cp and the highest being a 1302 Arcanine... one of the strongest Pokemon in the game, and Illminded's highest CP Pokemon was a 603 Lickitung. This Youtuber definitely deserves some subs, also who doesn't love seeing Pokemon evolve? I know I sure do enjoy wanting my friends evolve their Pokemon to see what the CP becomes!

Pokemon Hotspot: River Greenway Bluffton Indiana

Walking the River Greenway in Bluffton Indiana with my mom, brother, and a friend, This is what we came across. I live in a more rural area than most people so to most this probably isn't a whole lot, but to me, this was like winning the lottery. If you live around the area then this spot is differentially worth checking out. There aren't any Pokestops (yet) so I would come with a good 100 Pokeballs per hour you plan on walking... yes I went through over 100 Pokeballs within an hour. 

I started from the beginning of the trail, which you can get to by turning east on the first road past Hardees, I walked for about 30 minutes and turned back around after reaching a red bridge. Walking that distance helped me hatch 5 2k eggs and 3 5k eggs within the hour. I also put 2 incenses up which I was lucky enough to get a Dratini off of. 

Pokemon Go Improved Traking

In this update, the nearby tab has been updated. There now is a nearby along with a sighting. Still learning a bit about the new tracking system, it seems they whole things isn't working for everyone at the moment. Some only see the sighting section of the new and "improved" tracking system, while other see both features. I can't say much on the nearby feature because it doesn't work for me. Hopefully, though things work and Pokemon can now be easier to track. 

 Along with implementing a new tracker, there is now a "safer" way for player who drive. All though anyone can just tap the "I'm a Passenger" to allow the game to work after traveling so fast, it was more of a safety for Niantic more than the players. By approving you are a passenger so you can still play the game on the road, if by chance you are actually driving and playing, then it basically waves Niantic from any and all responsibility from those who choose to play the game while driving. All though Niantic still wasn't to blame for people playing and driving, it's now official that Niantic can't be blamed for stupidity of the players, though it will still happen.

The accuracy bug was also fixed in this update. For those who don't know what the bug was, basically experience wasn't given to those who threw a nice, great, or excellent. At first many thought the feature was taken out of the game because people were leveling too fast (not sure how that theory came about leveling is balanced coming from someone who plays a handful of MMO's). 

Don't Evolve Your Pokemon Until You See This

Before you evolve your Pokemon, mainly the ones you plan on using for future battling, check out Pokeadvisor. This website will access your account, and by allowing it you can see all of you Pokemon's IVs, rated by a percent. Instead of just choosing your highest CP Pokemon, you may want to check it's IVs first. Evolving a high CP Gastly for the intention to use a Gengar to battle, it turns out it had really low IV rating. Though it would turn into a high CP Gengar, it would have been extremally weak.

An opinionated percent to start evolving your Pokemon would be a 90%  Pokemon. IVs are judged by the stats your Pokemon has, so you can see exactly what it's missing. The cap for the three stats; Attack, Defence, and Stamina, are all 15 for all Pokemon. If you could deal with missing a few points off these stats, then go ahead and evolve. 

Checking your IVs in the Manager tab isn't the only thing this website is good for. When you are in the "manager" tab you can search for the Pokemon you want and even sort by CP, A-Z, Number, and recent. If you have recently caught a Pokemon and you want to see what it's IVs are, you can hit the refresh button next to the sort by every 5 minutes.

When you first log in you will be on the trainer tab. With this, you can see your trainer profile like in the game. It will tell you how many Pokemon you have caught from the Pokedex, a total amount of Pokemon caught and seen, your catch rate, and the total amount of Pokeballs thrown. There is also a gym and other box within the trainer tab. The gym box tells you how many prestige points you have earned, how many training battles, and regular battles you have won, and it even lets you know if your defender bonus is ready.

Last but not least the Pokedex tab. There isn't much of anything special with this tab, it lists all the Pokemon in the correct order, and it tells you how many candies it takes to evolve, It also tells you the typing of the Pokemon if you click on one. If there is a specific Pokemon you are looking for you can type its name in the search bar and be on your merry way.

Capture and Flee Rates

These rates are effected by your level, this is a list of the base catch and flee rates gathered from the game data. Pokemon with a 0% catch rate are believed to be gifts or rewards later in the future, though it doesn't explain why they have a flee rate. Perhaps this is where the theoretical master ball comes into play?
