badge bonuses, hurray!
Friday, October 14th, 2016 11:52 pmI'm loving the badge bonuses from the latest Pokémon Go update. I've leveled up pretty far, and facing 300 CP pidgies who wouldn't settle down in anything less than an ultraball was getting frustrating (as well as absurd: pidgies!).
Everyone knows about this, right? All those type badges we've been accumulating now grant catch probability bonuses for their type of pokémon. We know that it's +1 bronze, +2 silver, and +3 gold — and that dual-type pokémon average your badges for their types — but I haven't personally seen the exact math set out yet.
I did succeed in setting my ~900 CP hitmonchan in a gym tonight, after picking up my snail mail. If you're training up that gym, be sure to field a squad where all 6 have ~450 CP or less, so that you get maximum experience and prestige against her (it's calculated from the highest in the squad now), and then flee before the snorlax stomps you. :-) I recommend fairy and flying types for training against a fighting type!
If you're battling the gym to take it for another team, though, leave my hitmonchan alone. ;-)
