I believe it uses the phone's pedometer to log kms. Although I did have some steps register while I was in the car as an egg hatched while I was driving!

Pokémon Go developer working on a fix for iOS account permissions | Android Central (http://www.androidcentral.com/pokemon-go-security-concerns-are-ios-only)

We recently discovered that the Pokémon GO account creation process on iOS erroneously requests full access permission for the user's Google account. However, Pokémon GO only accesses basic Google profile information (specifically, your User ID and email address) and no other Google account information is or has been accessed or collected. Once we became aware of this error, we began working on a client-side fix to request permission for only basic Google profile information, in line with the data that we actually access. Google has verified that no other information has been received or accessed by Pokémon Go or Niantic. Google will soon reduce Pokémon GO's permission to only the basic profile data that Pokémon GO needs, and users do not need to take any actions themselves.

Only with stardust and candy to increase CP. Best way is to catch a better pokemon and/or evolve it.

[Armind]

I still haven't evolve or use any of my stardust yet lol

[Hondaracer]

Best Pokemon I've caught was like a 260 cp shelder I'm currently level 6. Should I try and increase its CP or just wait for a better Pokemon?

I think its better to save your stardust and level/evolve until you hit like level 15+

heard thats when you catch the rarer,stronger pokemon

[Zordon]

as you level up, the pokemon that appear are way stronger. I made the mistake of wasting stardust early on. I would just wait.

[unit]

I still haven't evolve or use any of my stardust yet lol

wait until you get your first lucky egg (lvl 8 i think), then start saving/farming some of the monsters that are cheap to evolve.

once you have lots of the right kind of candy, pop your lucky egg and evolve like crazy. evolving gets you experience, and the egg will double it. this might be the fastest way to lvl up in the game. also do it in an area where theres a double or triple lure and you can catch pokemon in between, and get double xp for that as well.

don't waste stardust because when you're in higher levels you'll be finding pokemon with like 1000cp and that sort of thing.
since you don't really need to battle much as part of the game right now anyway, there's not much point to upgrading weaker pokemon.

Vancouver Police have received reports of large groups of people seen gathering in parks and on city streets and other public areas, at all hours of the day and night.

The groups appear to be searching for something, many holding cell phones in their air, while others appear to be in a zombie-like state, eyes glued to their phones, as they walk down the street or ride their bikes and skateboards.

Our initial investigation shows they are in pursuit of brightly coloured creatures that don’t appear to be from our world. They head to “gyms” and “Pokéstops,” where they are often seen congregating, in search of the elusive “Pokémon.”

does anyone know if the CP/Pokemon are predetermined at the moment you receive the eggs? (The Level of your trainer when you receive them) or is it based on when it hatches?

So what do you guys do when you're almost maxed out on pokemons (250)? Do you just keep the highest CP version and transfer everything else for candy?

Initially, I thought about keeping the 10CP XL/XS versions in case I want to raise one from scratch. But seems like it's a waste of stardust, and the XL/XS stats seems to change once you evolve.

[mos_skeeto]

A few guides I read said you should keep the shitty pokemon and use a lucky egg. Then evolve them all in a 30 minute span for super XP.

Then transfer them out (or evolve them further during lucky egg time).

[van19]

^ Yeah. Evolve the shit outta your weedles and pidgeys (only 12 candies needed) and level up fast.

even walking it doesn't usually register the full distance, around Burnaby lake and back home for me is about 12.5kms it rarely registers more than 8

Some claim it’s 12 mph. Either way, you’re probably not going to make any progress if you’re driving.

serebii.net
There’s an easier-to-read version of this list here. However, this list isn’t 100% accurate, and you might find Pokémon in a 2 km egg that’s listed here for 5 km eggs, for example.

4. That curve on your Pokémon’s profile indicates its potential and should factor heavily into your decision to evolve or not.

5. There is a way to get Pikachu as your starter Pokémon.

Niantic / Via kotaku.com.au
If you continually run away from your first battle with the starter Pokémon you choose, eventually Pikachu should show up as a starter option. Check out this video for a full guide.

6. The app uses a combination of your step count and GPS location to hatch eggs, so the stuff in this rather silly video won’t work.
People are trying to attach their phones to bicycle wheels, Roombas, and their dogs in order to hatch eggs. But unless you actually move around enough for the GPS to register it, you won’t see any progress. Maybe tie it to your dog’s collar and set them out in the yard?

7. Turning off AR (which can be done when you encounter a Pokémon) will save battery life.

If you already have a spot at a gym, you can train instead of battling the other Pokémon there. When you do, you’ll use only one of your Pokémon, and your Pokémon won’t faint (but it will lose HP). You’ll get a little bit, but not a ton, of XP and Gym Prestige at the end.

10. There’s a new update out today that helps fix some of the annoying bugs present at launch.

The fixes include not having to log in again every time you quit the app (thank goodness) and correcting the data that the app has access to in your Google account (much less than before).

11. Stock up on Lucky Eggs and use them right before you’re about to hatch a lot of eggs or evolve a lot of your Pokémon.
Stock up on Lucky Eggs and use them right before you're about to hatch a lot of eggs or evolve a lot of your Pokémon.
Niantic / Via ign.com
If you want to level up fast, make sure you have at least one Lucky Egg. Then, get a bunch of candy and incubate some eggs until they’re just about to hatch. When you pop the Lucky Egg, you’ll get double XP for 30 minutes, so each Pokémon you evolve will get you 1,000 XP instead of 500. Additionally, if you hatch those eggs and get new Pokémon out of them, you’ll again get 1,000 XP each.

12. The cheapest and easiest Pokémon to evolve are Weedle, Pidgey, Caterpie, and Rattata.
The cheapest and easiest Pokémon to evolve are Weedle, Pidgey, Caterpie, and Rattata.
Niantic / Via businessinsider.com.au
Each of them only needs 12 candy of their type to evolve, so it’s good to stock up on them for XP purposes. If you have a Lucky Egg, you can potentially evolve a bunch of them at once for massive XP gains.

13. Eevee evolutions are completely random.
Eevee evolutions are completely random.

No matter what your Eevee’s starting moves are, the “Eeveelution” that they end up with seems to be totally random. Just keep your fingers crossed for that Vaporeon you’re hoping for.

14. Gyms can be one of the best sources of XP if you run away a lot.
Gyms can be one of the best sources of XP if you run away a lot.

Go into a gym battle, defeat the first opponent, then run. If you still get XP from the encounter, then you should be able to hop back in and do that indefinitely for a decent amount of XP per hour.

15. Consider renaming your most-used Pokémon with their types and/or abilities so you know which ones to pick in your gym battles.
Consider renaming your most-used Pokémon with their types and/or abilities so you know which ones to pick in your gym battles.

Since battles are real-time, it’s tough to grab the right Pokémon for the matchup quickly. Naming your Pokémon in this way will help you make a snap decision. Sure, it’s not as fun as the hilarious meme-based names you used before, but are you trying to be the very best or not?

16. You’ll need to travel outside your area in order to complete your Pokédex.
You'll need to travel outside your area in order to complete your Pokédex.

The Pokémon in your area are different from the Pokémon in other neighborhoods. You might need to go to a different town, state, or even country, depending on how close the border is, to actually catch ‘em all.

17. Factors like the weather and time of day will affect what types of Pokémon you encounter.



Dark and ghost Pokémon reportedly come out more often at night, and water-type Pokémon are more likely to show up in your area if it’s raining. So Southern Californians might have trouble getting any water-types.

18. You can collect your gym rewards once every 21 hours.
You can collect your gym rewards once every 21 hours.

Once you have a Pokémon guarding a gym, check the shield icon in the top-right corner of the Shop for Defense Bonuses. As long as you’re stationed at that gym without being defeated, you’ll get coins every

21 hours that you can spend on items.
19. PokéStops refresh about once every five minutes!
PokéStops refresh about once every five minutes!

When the color turns back from purple to blue, you’re good to go collect more items…and that happens a lot faster than you’d think.

20. Avoid evolving a three-tier-evolution Pokémon unless you can do both evolutions right away.



Let’s say you have a Ghastly, and you evolve it right away into Haunter, but that leaves you with zero Ghastly candy. By the time you earn enough Ghastly candy to evolve your Haunter into a Gengar, chances are you’ll be a much higher level and will already be catching higher-CP Ghastly and Haunter that will be much better candidates for evolution.

21. If the game freezes while you’re capturing a Pokémon and you have to quit out, just check your Journal when you log back in.
If the game freezes while you're capturing a Pokémon and you have to quit out, just check your Journal when you log back in.

Your Journal keeps a log of all your encounters, so it’ll tell you if that Pokémon was caught or ran away while you were cursing and restarting the app.

Simply because I won't or don't have the time to:
1) Chase down pokemons
2) Sit 30 mins at a time at lure sites
3) Camp at a gym

If this game doesn't introduce obvious features like PvP outside a gym, it's going to the junk bin soon.

Mew and Mewtwo aren't in the game iirc. I think Moltres, Articuno and Zapdos are but are being held until they do an event.

Mew, Mewtwo, Moltres, Articuno, Zapdos, and Ditto are in the game, but you cannot catch or hatch them, at least not yet. Most likely being held for some sort of special event(s) in the future.

So right now the max different pokemon you can catch at the moment is 145/151.

Why are Dittos so special that they are not catchable right now? :s

I wonder how they will implement legendary pokemon... since if they want this to feel more "real" (lol), then only ONE of each legendary pokemon exist around the world. Or, ONE per region/server. I aint gonna fly across Canada to catch a legendary >;[

And if that mewtwo video is any indication, it might mean people can't actually catch them? only battle and add them to Pokedex?

And if they allow EVERYONE to catch the legendary once, then CP becomes an issue, unless they have an 9999CP cap by default, and you don't need candies to train etc. Or you may end up with a garbage Mewtwo ;s

Ahhhhhhhhhh I'm just spewing random thoughts, I'm sure they will do it right ;p

Based on what I tested (briefly), and read online, going into your inventory and using items triggers that glitch.

Some people thought it was because it is a rarer/harder to catch pokemon, but it's usually in those situations where you'll go into your items to throw a berry or switch to a better ball. Then you watch as all your balls fly off the screen V____V...

[mos_skeeto]

Tip for new people. Don't bother upgrading your pokemon at the beginning since what you catch is based on your level. Any candy or items you use now will be better later on.

[murd0c]

Is it a good idea to turn Pokemon you have more then one of into candy and just keep the Higher level ones?

[mos_skeeto]

Not too sure since I'm still stacking them but if you do make sure you activate a lucky egg for double XP. I saw a youtube video where they use a lucky egg and upgrade all the useless pokemon in the 30 minute time span for a 2 level jump.

If it says "Not effective" over YOUR OPPONENTS pokemon, you are doing less damage to them; vice versa, therefore if it's over YOUR OWN pokemon, the opponent is doing less damage to you.

haha I probably walked past you a few times unknowingly. I was there for an hour or so walking around the pond with my wife. It's gotten busier and busier I noticed (I live where I can see the lures there). That doesn't count the people that stay in their car in the center parking lot as well :O

murd0c- just keep enough of your duplicates that you can evolve. the rest can be traded in for candy.

Then as mos_keeto said, crack a lucky egg at a lured trispot and just sit there and evolve all that you can. You'll level up like crazy, and since you're in a tri spot you can take advantage of all the spins to get 200xp each time. AND as you catch more pokemon you can try and evolve more while trading in if you need to.

[blkgsr]

ok hold on, break that down into simple english...

- keep duplicates to evolve? i thought you just keep the highest CP one and trade the others info candy? haven't really done anything other than transfer in lower level duplicates for candy

- lucky egg? where/how do i get those? i have eggs that i'm incubating? you mean once i've reached the 2/5/10kms do that while i'm at a lure? then i need candy to evolve them right?

tri spot is just three pokestops close together right?

It's a matter of efficiency for XP; levelling 4 weedles will use 48 weedle candy, but will net you 4x more xp than levelling a kakuna to a beedrill, which uses 50 weedle candy.

Lucky eggs are given to you at certain levels. I think 8 is the first one. If you can time for your incubating eggs to hatch while you have a lucky egg, then you get double xp. Doesn't have to be at a lure spot.

Tri-spot, yes - there are a few quad stops around town.

Forget the spin lol its annoying

ok so i do want to level up but only for the XP, not to actually use them for anything

Yup - you'll catch stronger pokemon as you level up.

You can evolve, then transfer to eke out a bit more candy as well.

Leveling up once you get to 18-20~s is such a grind the scale is ridiculous. 20+ is 75K xp then 30->31 500K XP.
