Thanks rayquaza and devify :smile: Do you get Pokémon coins or any other sort of reward for defeating Pokémon in the gyms? Also, what's the benefit to me of lowering the prestige of a gym? Does it pay to be there when the number is very low, so I can potentially be the one to swap out one of the characters?

You can collect coins every 21 hours. Per each Pokemon you have in a gym, you get 10 coins and 500 stardust. You also get some xp just for fighting.

If you lower the prestige enough, you could take over the gym, meaning that's another Pokemon you can leave and more rewards
I just downloaded it and oh em gee what do I do after I catch one of the starters?
Left my house with 0 pokeballs, returned with 131 pokeballs and 9 eggs. Successful trip

Wait until the other 570 are rolled out. Then you won't have to regret releasing them too early :wink:


That's a good point actually, thanks 😄.*

(Although, minus a few of them - those extra Pokemon are dead to me haha). *

Except if you want to GPS spoof, you have to go into your developer options and select the "Allow Mock GPS locations" option. If you do that, Pokemon Go won't fully load. It will load the game, but will say "GPS not found" and won't load gyms, stops or Pokemon.

I keep hatching 2km eggs hoping for Pikachu or Charmander (or even Squirtle for the candies) but I keep getting Weedle or Caterpie 😟


Chin up! Whilst you're leveling you want more of those candies anyway :biggrin:

Why would we deliberately stop doing the most fun thing about this game, and risk getting banned in the process :confused:

If you're just going to sit in your house and catch pokemon you might as well not play the game and just pretend you've caught them all

Thanks! I stopped at 4 gyms on the way home from work and took them all over! They all got kicked out before the end of the night but hopefully I got some XP from it, and I got 40 coins... It's going to take a while before I can afford anything with coins at this rate!

Yeh, I agree, I think I'd get bored with the game if I could just sit at home and do it. Takes away the whole point of the game
hey I'm thinking of downloading pokemon go to play on my walk to work ; any advice guys ??
