Smashed an Aerodactyl last night using my Golem to claim a gym.

Just on gyms, I think they way they've done it sucks. If the gym has 2 Pokémon you should either have to beat it with two or whoever you beat it with has to stay there.

Yeah its super easy to take them over. Good idea on the 2v2 etc.

Yeah agreed. Golem smashed the Aerodactyl 1 on 1 though in the first round matchup before the mons rolled over - had about 1/8th health left after despite the difference in CP. Was proud of that effort.

Basically catch as many Pidgey, Weedle, Caterpies as he can because they only need 12 candies to evolve (so you get more xp for spending less candies)
stockpile said Pokes along with all your other generic rattatas, drowsees, eevees
ensure you have enough candies of said pokemon to evolve them all
use the magic egg, preferably at a pokestop with a lure down so any pokemon caught also gives double XP
evolve all the pokemon you can

hope that helps mate

So will I need 12 candies for each pidgey (have about 20) ?

Click on a Pidgey in the Pokemon menu and it will show you how many are required to evolve it (Pidgey only need 12 candy to evolve to a Pidgeotto).

12 candy for Pidgey, Weedle, Caterpie.

The more you have the more you can evolve, save them all up. You can probably get around 40/50 evolves in per egg, which is a lot of XP.

I spent 5 hours last night on a pokemon hunt at Kings Park. In the area there's around 300/400 pokestops and around 2000 people at any one time. Nice view of the city as well.

No AR, S7 Edge, 100% battery when I started, 20% when I finished.

Darkness down to minimal, charged it when we got in the car but still drove around for about an hour.

I'm almost level 17 and have yet to get a 10k egg.

Jelly.

If I have the game open and my screen locks does it still count my steps ?

Found an ace spot in town with two pokestops in a public park that gets amazing pokemon from lures, yesterday alone it spawned a Magmar, Electabuzz, Golduck, Rapidash, Ivysaur and Gengar among others, our little group of friends/family playing the game have been going down everyday this week to the in-reach barbecue area, taking turns shouting the snags and bread and spending hours down there shooting the shit and catching pokemon.

up to level 23 now with 106 logged in the pokedex, trying to resist the urge to spend money on incubators, I've chewed through the ones from rewards so quickly, even though i only ever put 5k-10k eggs in them.

Yeah I've found a few people that haven't had any. I've never not got them in my eggs, it's pretty crazy. Although I haven't had a lot of great ones come out. Well what I would call great anyway.

They're my least favourite of all the Pokemon. Hate the little pricks.

Should I sell any pokemon for candies ? If so which ones ?
