Question #1: there are freaks that spend all day wandering around the mall that has like twenty poke stops. Will they always be unbeatable due to their nolife playstyle?

Question #2: the mall has multiple close poke stops with those hubs that attract Pokemon for 30 minutes for everyone. Do these stack? As in, will two close by points that are both used as beacons attract way more Pokemon than just one? Again, back to question 1, how do I compete with no lifers that are by those points?

1. App will drain their data and battery
2. I Don't think the lures stack. But lure + incense does.

There will always be someone bigger and stronger in every game you play...take what you can get though, I'm up in north Dakota and pokestops are miles away and I have to buy all my own incense...just do your best and have fun!

There are some people on this forum that will do pokestop/farming services for you for FG.

Those no lifers will quickly get shamed once mommy and daddy get a hand on their phone bill. Unless the mall provides free wifi, then you might be hurting.

Yeh I noticed the game uses a lot of data. Like 50mb per hour.

I luckily get 2gb per month but... That's not enough for regular play without wifi.

What really matters right now is your character level. I'm around level 21 and I get 1200-1700 pokemon from Eggs. I also find ~500-700 CP eevees, bellsprouts and others that turn out to be ~ 1200-1500 after evolving. It will be hard to beat gyms once they get like 7-8 pokemons in there above 1000cp with high hp (high hp is very helpful).

If you have 3 pokeshops and all 3 have Lures, you will get 3 times the pokemon as long as all 3 are in range. They will spawn at 3-4 at a time. Thats how I farm most of my XP. There is a 3 shop spot near me, people often pop 3 Lures and we all camp just capturing mostly Pidgeys, weedles, caterpies and other 12 evolve candy cost pokemon. Save a ton to evolve and then pop a lucky egg for double xp. I've been getting close to 50k xp / hour with this method after evolving all at once.

Dont even bother with spending any stardust yet. I got like 100k saved up and wont use any of it untill i get higher level to get a good grasp on how high CP spawns can go.

Whaatt? Ive lost like 50 mb after playing a half day

same i've used like 178mb since launch and i've played alot on my 4G ATT (I do have unlimited grandfathered tho)

I have to call billshit on this. I just hatched a jynx last night 10km egg at level 19 and it was 763 cp. The cp of pokemon in eggs is not going up that drastically. I'll know more in about 2 days because I'll be level 21 and I hatch about 8 eggs a day.
