Mine is doing it even when the sightings list didnt change. It was doing it almost constantly at the airport so I had to close the app while walking around cause it was driving me bonkers

How do you place a Lure Module at a PokeStop. I want to but everytime I try it says it cant be used.

I was wondering if anybody knew when generation 2 will be officially coming out? Every time I try to look it up online I keep getting topics about the egg event this past holiday season.

There's been no official announcement. You probably keep getting such topics because the only Gen 2 Pokemon available hatch from Eggs.

Yeah that's all I've been getting. Oh well, I guess we gotta keep waiting then, haha.

I'm just curious about this, but does your specific location actually determine the pokemon that appears? Because every time I log on the game in the computer lab, a bunch of Magnemites would surround me, but then I'd get Goldeens despite not being near any water. I don't know if it's because the computer lab is registered in the map, or because Magnemites are just common around universities/colleges.

There exist nests, specific areas within a species of Pokemon appears a lot. These change once a while, probably every 15 days when updates happen. However some Pokemon may indeed be more common around universities/colleges too, Magnemite seems quite like the kind of Pokemon that could be common there considering it is related to science more than your average species.

I've yet to find any Magnemite on my campus though, unfortunately. On the other hand, we get a crapton of Pidgey in the science building, which is infested with IRL pigeons (not inside of course), and I find a lot of Psyduck where the real ducks hang out on campus.

I hatched a 2k egg today and it was an Abra, which suprised me. It seems like the eggs have been shuffled around again, does anyone know the details of the change?

Thanks

Is it feasible to just play the game walking around catching Pokemon? Because I don't have much interest in battling and the gym-side of things. I'd like to get as many Pokemon as I can, but I'm wondering if some are locked out if you don't take part in gyms and the like? (Some of my family and friends have been pestering me to get into GO recently, so I'm not very far and want to know in advance whether I'll be disappointed by not being able to get some.)

It might in fact be more feasible to just ignore Gyms altogether. They only help a bit with EXP and Coins. In practice you couldn't do anything at Gyms until Level 20+ anyway. No need for Potions and Revives (just toss them) or Stardust/powerups.

Awesome. Thanks!

Honestly, the only time I use gyms are when there's one nearby of my team that has a slot open to deposit a Pokemon (or close enough to levelling up where i can spend like 2min fighting the gym Pokemon and then put one of mine in) and then immediately grab the defender bonus from the shop and move on with my life.

Gyms can have Pokémon that you haven't seen.

Anyone know any good IV calculator apps? Got an android phone.

True, but you can see those by just checking the Gym from afar without battling it. Besides there are lots of people who only count caught Pokemon, not seen Pokemon

They say that shiny Magikarps were reported to be caught. Will it evolve into a shiny Gyarados?

I guess this will be the first time I've been happy that the canal behind my house is infested with Magikarp. Gotta find a shinyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Whenever I open a gym Pokemon selection screen, the default Pokemon chosen are always the ones with sub-par species. As I'm mostly in a car and time is less, I often need to battle with these subpar Pokemon, but it'lol be great if the UI always chose my 6 highest CP Pokemon as default ones. Is there a way to do this?
