Yeah, savor that shit. Don't know about the rest of you but if I'm out and about catching for the purposes of grinding out XP / stardust, magikarp nests are a gold mine. They don't seem to give much fuss when compared to virtually everything else as far as staying in balls are concerned.

Half the posts for the last week have been about IVs. Posts meme saying nobody cares. Gets negged by me for either arrant stupidity or a profound failure to be funny.
Anyway this will be my first time evolving a pokemon for long term use as opposed to trash pokemon for lucky egg leveling. I just evolve the exeggcute and see what moves he gets right? Same with my eevee ---> vaporeon?

I know you're half kidding here, but three points:
1. The higher level you get, the harder it is to level up the steep, exponential curve. This means that soon, each ~40cp increase to your top 'mon come at a cost of dozens of hours of leveling. So a level 30 trainer who has a 50%IV exeggutor will be equally matched to yours when you're level ~26, even though that level 30 might have spent twice as much time leveling as you!
2. Pokemon games are all about finding rare pokemon, and the "serious" pokemon scene has been about min/maxing for decades.
3. This is a min/maxing forum.
Does it really matter now? Not really. The PvP scene is totally under-developed. Maybe they'll add trainer battles before we all quit, and those battles will be with a non-terrible system. Or maybe they won't. Still, nobody wants to be stuck having spend 40k stardust leveling up a gimped mon.

It's also the only way to have more powerful pokemon. It's like in Marvel Heroes, where a piece of gear with 99% rolls sells for exponentially more than a piece of gear with 95% rolls, despite the insignificant difference in actual gain to your hero. In Pokemon Go, farming for high IVs is the only thing you can do that affects the strength of your pokemon.

Aaand, of course, a guy at the park told me during lunch break: "Want dratinis? Go to La Vilette, get about 10-15 per hour". Plus Magikarps by the bushel and a few Evees...There used to be a Dratini spawn spot in the street next to home, at 3mn walk. One Dratini every 30mn.
It stopped yesterday. Since then, no spawn at all there
(there's also apparently a sweet Magmar spot on the way to work, need to check)

I didn't realize that was actually your exeggutor. In that case, fuck you for having an exeggutor with perfect IVs and perfect moves!!! Just evolved mine, zen headbutt/seed bomb. So the better fast attack but the worst charge. At least it wasn't confusion/seed bomb though, and it should still wreck vaporeons. Got hydro pump on my vaporeon which is good enough.

Do IVs stay once a pokemon evolves? I know size modifier doesn't (watching an XL morph into an XS was sort of funny).
Also, does anyone else think Drowsy is the creepiest pokemon? The finger waggles are just sketchy. Try it yourself and see how candy-van it makes you look.

IVs stay with a pokemon. From what I know there is zero correlation between current moveset and evolved moveset, but it's rumored there is some correlation.

Here's something else that's fucked up. The Attack part of IV for wild pokemon appears to be strongly correlated with the Pokemon #.
