There are rumors that electric Pokemon spawn by powergrids, during a storm, while the wind is blowing at 23MPH, and you're walking downhill north. I've found no evidence supporting this.There are areas where some of the more basic Pokemon appear more frequently than others, and I'm sure there might be a couple Pokemon with some crazy google map algorithm.You can find almost any Pokemon anywhere other than extremely rural areas. Q: Should I use stardust to raise the CP of my Pokemon?A/O: I don't believe that anyone should be powering up Pokemon below level 20-25. Your main focus should be on leveling up. As you level you will find stronger base CP Pokemon.Everyone will enjoy playing their game differently. It has just been my experience that it is a waste of stardust to power up something you will replace. I spent stardust until I was level 12 or 13. I pumped all of my dust into a Poke and then replaced it 3 levels later. Q: Should I boost the CP of my Pokemon before or after I evolve it?A/O: All information that I've found shows that this doesn't matter. A Pokemon will still max out at a certain CP based on your level. However, it will likely cost significantly less stardust to boost a 350 Eevee to 450 than it will to boost a 900 Jolteon to 1150. Q: When you take a gym, how long before you're able to claim the gym rewards?A/O: You can collect your rewards immediately. You do this through the shop menu. There is a shield icon with a number in it representing the amount of Pokemon you have holding Gyms. Gyms reward you with 10G and 500SD for each Pokemon controlling a gym up to a max of 10. You can collect this reward once every 21 hours.I normally collect at night right after I'm done for the day. Q: Does incense stack with a Lure Module?A: Yes.Lure module: Everyone in the area is able to see Pokemon that spawn from the Lure Module.Incense: Only the player with incense active will be able to see these Pokemon. They will spawn with the pink incense ring around them to signify that they spawned from incense.Note: Multiple players in the same location with incense active are able to see the same incense spawned Pokemon. Q: What is the fastest way to level up?A/O: The most common method is to get the most out of your lucky eggs. To do this:Save Pidgeys, Rattatas, Weedles, Caterpies, etc. (Any common Pokemon costing 12 or 25 to evolve)Use your lucky Egg right before your eggs are about to hatch.While your lucky egg is active evolve all of the Pokemon you can. Do not evolve Pidgeottos into Pidgeots unless you need them for battling.Use the remaining time to catch all Pokemon that you see as well as hitting any Pokestops you pass by. Double experience applies to all of these. Also, if you're able to, you can attack a Gym once.Since it is asked a lot:4 Pidgeys = 48 candies = 2k XP // 4K with Egg1 Pidgeotto = 50 candies = 500XP // 1K with EggThis is why you want to only evolve Pidgeys if you're going for XP and not gym pokemon. Q: My bag keeps getting full and I'm running out of Pokeballs, what do?A: Delete your extra Potions, revives, and Razzberries. You don't need 90 of any of them, ever. At lv20 you'll have 3 different types of Potions and Pokeballs. I never keep more than 60 total potions and 40 revives on me. I delete excess. The rest of the room I keep for Pokeballs. After level 20 you'll start having CP56 Pidgeys escape Pokeballs and running frequently. You have to have a large surplus of Pokeballs.   Now, for the PSAIf your local park, cemetary, etc. closes at a certain time; LEAVE. People not knowing when to call it quits will create a huge problem for the rest of the players. Police shouldn't have to feel like they're wrangling cats to get people out of a location. If you're at a resturant/bar with a Pokestop PLEASE be aware that you're sitting on someone's livelyhood. It's ok to sit around and I'm sure they won't mind, but if you're going to stay at a table for long after you've finished your meal please leave them a good tip. You're taking up a space for them to seat another guest. If you're in a metropolitan area (I.E. Downtown Nashville), or anywhere for that matter. Pick up large items of trash and throw them away if there are trashcans readily available. I'm not saying to grab a spike and head out with a Hefty bag, or pick up every cigarette butt, but don't just pass the stuff up. Everyone needs a little extra karma and we definitely need less trash on the streets. The above can also be applied to Cemeteries. If you see flowers blown off of a grave from a previous storm or wind, pick it up and set it on a grave that needs it. You don't have to hunt the matching flowers down. I've heard of people at parks being pretty vicious towards players. Upset due to bike paths being crowded, people walking through golf courses, etc. Do not react with violence. Try to get away from these people. If necessary call the cops.Check to see if your local park also includes a disc golf course. If you see metal baskets with chains, try to keep an eye out for players playing. If you notice that you might be in their way, try to be quick about what you're doing.   Hopefully someone finds some kind of useful information in this rambling. If you have other questions just ask. I'll be glad to answer it, or find and answer for you if another member of the sub doesn't beat me to it.BE THE VERY BEST!
