Hatched a 15/13/14 shiny ralts like 3 hours after community day ended lol. Not sure if I want to evolve to gardevoir or gallade. I could use gardevoir with fairy moves as a dragon raid killer since I only have 2 glaceons for that right now
Also 13 candies away from a 15/15/15 togekiss.. not to mention I need a sinnoh stone. I got one from last weeks research box but from what I remember they aren't guaranteed

You can PvP three times a day or train once against an NPC trainer for a possible Shinnoh stone. That's how I get most of mine.

well boys, i finally bit the bullet and download it yesterday morning
lvl 8 already lol. there's 2 pokestops and a gym near my work close enough that I don't need to get up from my desk to hit them. Then there's another 2 stops right next to my house that i can reach from my house
That being said,I have absolutely no idea what i'm doingso I'm just catching every possible pokemon that pops up and maybe when I hit like lvl 20 I'll figure out what I actually should be doing. I obviously don't have any good pokemon to beat a gym or anything so I'm not bothering until I have something 2k+
For now, I'm just transferring any weaker duplicate I catch and accumulating items

I figured to not bother caring too much for now because I want to save my startdust for
1) good pokemon in the top 50 or so in terms of strength
2) my favorite pokemon. Like i don't care if i have a 4kcp groudon, I'd still run hitmonchan since he's my #1
So I shouldnt really care about wasting stardust on evolving a zubat for example right?
Spoiler!
is anybody has a good shiny hitmonchan, i'd consider buying it off u
or porygon z

that being said, don't feel in a rush to power anything up if it won't be of help for current raid boss or if you have a decent substitute for attacking gyms. you might find something better with time, so don't power up until you need it.
EDIT: another detail worth mentioning: if you are at a low level (below lvl 30), avoid powering up as much as possible because the higher your level is, the higher potential CP a wild pokemon will have (this is applicable up to level 33, i think, but i could be wrong).

For instance with the rayquaza raids up now, a team of 6 high CP glaceons are powerful, second best pokemon you can use for the fight. vaporeon is a strong water type, jolteon and flareon... meh, espeon is great for psyhchic....Brahs can you help me?

The nice thing about building out an eevee army while you level up is that you can just toss them as you get better options. I just levelled up a 3rd account. It took me a few weeks to get to 30 and all I did to make it useful was complete enough raids to get 6 machamps, 6 ttars, i evolved my high CP eevees and I pick up a different legendary each week from research tasks so i have 2 decent groundons, etc... Wound up getting something like 275K dust that I haven't used. Anyhow, that's how I would start and by the time you get there you should know what you are doing well enough to sort it.

it took me about a week of playing to get there thanks to friends and the new research
from there, my priority is grandfathered moveset pokemon > shiny pokemon > high IV > CP
everyone seems to always have a ton of stardust, so having high CP to start doesn't matter
and with friendship now, you can get trades that are guaranteed 80+ IV, so just level a 2nd account and trade yourself and boom all of your Pokemon are god tier

Note that this is technically against the rules, and requires at least two devices, but it's the only way folks who live out in the sticks and don't get into town much can complete those tasks.
