Pokémon GO! - (Savage)

There's no reason to waste candies pre-evolve in any situation.

Catch -> Check IVs/Rating -> Evolve + Check moveset -> Decide if worth to power up or not.

Uh?

People seem to have a misinterpretation of CP to effectiveness. While yes, CP is an overall gauge of a pokemon, it's not the end all be all. For example: Gyarados has a much higher CP than a Starmie, yet Starmies base attack is higher of a Gyarados. What puts Gyarados ahead is its stamina value in the formula.

Formula below (Credit to CPMultiplier [Reddit])

First, look here for all the new Pokemon Go base stat values. The new values follow these formulas exactly (Credit: /u/Fourier864):
-BaseStamina = 2 * Hp
-BaseAttack = 2 * ROUND(Atk^0.5 SpA^0.5 + Spe^0.5)
-BaseDefense = 2 * ROUND(Def^0.5 SpD^0.5 + Spe^0.5)
where HP, Atk, Def, SpA, SpD, Spe are all the base values in Gen 6.

Take TotalCpMultiplier = CpMultiplier + AdditionalCpMultiplier
TotalCpMultiplier is approximately 0.095 * Sqrt(PokemonLevel), where PokemonLevel increases by 1 every power up.

Note: See this post to see how much (TotalCpMultiplier)2 increases every power up. After level 30 (or PokemonLevel = 30 * 2, since two power ups per level), each power up is about half as effective.

Then take
-Stamina = (BaseStamina + IndividualStamina) * TotalCPMultiplier
-Attack = (BaseAttack + IndividualAttack) * TotalCpMultiplier
-Defense = (BaseDefense + IndividualDefense) * TotalCpMultiplier
(no rounding). The IVs range from 0 to 15. Finally,
-CP = MAX(10, FLOOR(Stamina^0.5 * Attack * Def^0.5 / 10))

(btw, the "Uh?" I posted above had nothing to do what you guys were discussing, I completely agree with Jiko's insight on not wasting candies pre-evolution. What I was looking at was the "km/candies" column in the link, talking about the new "walk buddies" stuff to come).

Update!

Update prevents root users from logging in. Rootcloak and other similar apps do not seem to work.

People saying systemless xposed works using magisk manager to hide root while PoGo works. Cannot confirm myself yet, but will be trying shortly.

This game continues to take one leap forward, three backwards. Why do they focus all their attention on trying to make the game uncrackable, and in the process, affect legitimate players who aren't even cheating? Niantic seems to be doing more to stop cheating than improving the actual game. Even if that comes at the cost of some collateral damage.

I just don't understand this company anymore.

So I have to remove the root on my phone to continue playing?

Terrible planning, announcing the update and then not being available for 24+ hours for iOS, and only as APK download for Android...

I want my buddy D:!!

Not technically. There are apparently workarounds.

Are you running xposed? There's apparently a systemless version of xposed that allows you to disable root systemwide when certain apps are up.

I haven't gotten the update or bothered downloading the APK because I don't want to go through the trouble of it but apparently it works. It's also possible that someone will churn out something for the regular, system-based xposed that works. I'll post if I see anything pop up on XDA. But yeah, this is ridiculous. The game was already barely worth draining my battery life for, and I think this just about did me in.,

The two very obvious things from the update are:

1) Buddy system
2) Analysis is a lot bigger (takes up half the screen)

Currently have my Dragonair following me, 5 Pokemon Go kilometres per Dratini candy ;;

God 5 kilometers for 1 freaking candy? I'd rather just play chance with eggs and get a Poliwrath that way. That's *** stupid.

Not sure what Poliwag candies would be, if I were to hazard a guess, I'd say 3km.

Some are 1km, 3km and 5km

You're welcome.

Remember, you use this at your own risk.

lol still no update for iOS.


I'd be having so many good times with my buddy right now

Sister got her update on iOS, I got mine on Android.

Looks like it went out in the last hour then? Definitely wasn't available earlier this afternoon lol

Update got pushed for me as well.

Can't login and don't care enough to find a work-around and definitely not unrooting just for this game.

Just as I got an office in range of a pokestop too... rip

In the same boat. Reddit is also pretty upset as well. I hope they reverse this dumb update when they realize how silly it was. I feel like this might encourage emulator use more now

Got the update, so Pokemon don't walk with you in the field? That's a pretty big disappointment.

Yah I thought so too. Really a huge let down lol, but oh well :(

tbh I don't think I'd want there to be a Dragonite (or whatever else) on my screen all the time--I'd look down and constantly get myself all excited thinking one had spawned. XD

rightfully so, this was a terrible move. i dont think theyll be changing it tho

They could have done walk 5 km spawns a dratinis

Was really hoping my poliwag would be bouncing behind me as I walked, but I think with all the let downs lately I'm gonna just bow out of Pokemon go...ill just wait till something pulls me back into the game :/

^^ totes agreee ^^
