    Hooray, 3 Bidoofs (Bidooves?)

    In a game that doesn't have HMs, they are now completely useless

    The plural of a Pokemon's name is just its name. 3 Bidoof. 5 Pikachu. 100 Rattata.

    3 Bidoofen so far. I prefer dumb pluralizations.

    I see a turtwig but I'm stuck at my desk at the moment

    I've seen shadows for about 8 different pokes, but aside from bidoof, none of them have spawned while I am at their supposed pokestop

    /shrug

    edit: I'm annoyed they didn't expand the bag capacity like when they released previous generations

    In case you're curious, here's how the balance changes affected CP, at least in the first gen.

    The big takeaway is that very slight nerfs are most common, though none of the top Pokémon got a really significant nerf. Rhydon, Chansey, Alakazam, Gengar, Gyrados, Machamp and Mewtwo all saw great boosts. Most grass-types other than Venusaur got relatively noticeable nerfs.

    ...and the 20 new gen 4 Pokémon now out. Looks to be mainly starters, Pidgey and rat-equivalents, and Carnevine and Chatot.

    Just to be clear, those were the effects of the 2017 rebalance.

    The 2018 (reverted) rebalance didn't change anything about attack: https://pokemongo.gamepress.gg/explaining-october-2018-stat-change

    Does Go IV need updating or is the stats to come conversion still the same?

    You will need to update when Niantic switches the stat rebalance back on. You probably also need to update for the Gen 4 mon. CalcyIV has the latter already, I don't know about GoIV.

    GoIV is being super dumb to update to gen 4:

    I really disagree with their decision here. I have to use other scanners in the meantime.

    So, looks like we've got this gen's new region exclusives already. Chatot is in South America, Pachirisu is in Canada and Alaska, and Carnivine is in the southeastern United States. Which means that parts of southern Florida will apparently have access to FOUR regionals (Tauros, Corsola, Heracross and Carnivine).

    I don't mind if it's only a few days. Any Pokemon that doesn't get 'amazing' in a regular appraisal can be ditched anyway

    Meanwhile us here in the midwest are stuck with just Tauros... *sigh*

    Eh, I just discovered CalcyIV can do renames, so I think I am ditching GoIV. It always does a shit job scanning for me anyways. Renames was like the one thing I kept it around for.

    Listen, I get it, Florida is a jungle...but let other people have some fun. I'm still over here with just Tauros, and people in Canada don't even get Tauros.

    edit: apparently Canada gets Pachirisu now! Great. Florida still doesn't need 4 regionals.

    I saw a map someone drew of Carnivine spawns too and it's literally like a box around Florida... I don't get it... it would be one thing if it was "below X longitude line" and Florida just got lucky because they basically got Mexico's spawns... but nope...

    Chatot is all southern hemisphere I think, since I am getting them over here in Australia.

    Also got a 100% weather boosted mewtwo yesterday. Caught it on the last ball.

    Edit: Also don't know if their spawn changes are live yet or if it's just the water event combined with new pokemon, but I am seeing a lot more diverse pokemon spawning lately and more evolutions.

    I'm seeing a bigger range of pokes too, not just the new ones. Caught an Ekans this morning, which I haven't seen for months.

    It'd be cool if these gen4 pokes spawned at some point. aside from a bunch of bidoofs on day one and a couple of what I assume are the gen 4 starters, I've seen nothing.

    I've seen more gen 1 and 2 starters than gen 4 the last few days

    There's only like 15 Gen 4 right now and you have to think half of them are evolutions

    Yeah, it's just the "route 1" pokemon (starters, bidoof, starly) and the regionals, afaik.

    Also it's weird Carnivine is something that's notable now because that was never the case before.

    Edit: Like I'm one of those people with an encyclopedic knowledge of Pokemon and I literally forgot Carnivine existed, and would have absolutely gotten the gen wrong if you asked me. I'm still shocked it's apparently Gen IV.

    Weirdly enough, I love that 1* and 2* raids have some cool Pokemon featured. Shinx, Sneasel, Kirlia are all Pokemon I don't mind dropping a raid pass to get.

    Shinx are out in lowbie raids at the moment? I'll have to keep an eye out for that.

    Kirlia was great for raids, I've soloed probably 20+ of them over time to build up Ralts candy.

    cloudeaglecloudeagle Registered User regular
    Yeah, near as I can tell you can ONLY get Shinx in raids, and since they have two evolutions you're going to need to grind.
