you cant get a dragonite from a 10k egg? wth

how am  I supposed to get this mother####er
Grinding it out is the best way. Find a lake or river with a bunch of water type spawn points and farm Dratinis. Majority of the spawns will be Magikarp but Dratini will be in rotation about 1% of the time. 

After a few weeks of collecting candies, I was able to evolve this bad boy.

It's surprising you haven't had any 10k eggs yet.  I would say the number of eggs you have hatched is more relevant than your distance walked though.  How many eggs have you hatched?

For reference, I have had 14 out of 168 (exactly 1 in 12).
I have hatched 48 eggs.  Am holding my incubators specifically for 10k eggs at this point in the event I ever get one so that I maximize the distance I get from them.

 
is there a way to throw away the eggs?

I was told to save the incubators and only use the infinite one.. would like to have room for 10km eggs

 
In 1200+ encounters I have yet to see a Charmander or Dratini in the wild, let alone the evolved forms.  So I assume my route to both a Dragonite and a Charizard will be through eggs.  Frankly I think the Charizard will take longer.

2k eggs are more common to get, but they produce only 6-10 candy.

10k eggs come less frequently, but they give you 16-32 candy.  With luck, you can to a dragonite by hatching just 5 dratini.
My coworker hatched a dratini with 52 candies, so in effect he hatched a dragonair cuz he evolved the dratini right away. Lucky.

I have a second 10k egg that I should be hatching on my lunch break walk today. I hope it's something mean looking.

 
I need 10 more coins for an incubator. It sucks having only the one infinite one going.

Maybe it's just me, but nothing in the game pi%$%s me off more than when the Pidgey keeps breaking free.

He just has this look. I wanna punch him in the bird face.

You keeping track of that, or is the game?
The game tracks the denominator portion (I have 160 on my breeder medal + 8 currently in inventory), but I presume you were talking about the numerator (14):

When that number was just a handful it was easy to remember, but yeah, I did jot it down once I realized I might lose track.  I also did not want to lose the candy data (something I was curious about).  

Code:
Magmar +25 candy
Magmar +16 candy
Aerodactyl +22 candy
Aerodactyl +16 candy
Pinsir +30 candy
Chansey +31 candy
Jynx +20 candy
Dratini +32 candy
Scyther +17 candy
Electabuzz +26 candy
Eevee +?? candy

ETA:
Onix +20 candy
Onix +18 candy
Kabuto +29 candy
Magmar +28 candy
Jynx +27 candy

I don't believe he got 52 candies.  Unless you have a typo and meant 25.  52 is way more than I have ever seen.  And dratini need only 25 to evolve.

But I was in the same situation, and many probably are, I hatched a dratini +32 candy which essentially is a dragonaire...

so with dratini candy you can evolve it into a dragonite?

k notes updated thnks

 
Anyone else having issues with the GPS tracking for hatching eggs?  I go out and rollerblade the local park, doing about 4-6 miles a night right now.  I turn on the app and keep it going throughout my trip.  Yet, when I get home it only shows maybe 1km or 1.5km traveled.  I know I went further than that, but nothing registered.  I'm not a fast skater - 8mph tops, and that's going down hills.  I checked my average speed and I'm sitting around 6.5mph.  Why wouldn't the app track this distance?

seemed to work today when I was stuck in traffic

Same reason it doesn't track well with running, hell it doesn't track all that well just walking for me sometimes.

 
Apparently you can pick which creature you want your evee to evolve into by changing its name?

At what point should I start evolving?

Are you doing loops around the park?  It seems to me the game periodically queries your coordinates, and determines your distance by calculating the difference.

The sample rate seems to me to be more than 1 minute, maybe 2.  I'm really not sure why it is so infrequent, but it is.

In an extreme example, if it checked your location every two minutes, and you happened to complete a lap around the park every 2 minutes, the game could assume you had not moved at all.

If you intend to go 6 miles, your best bet is to go out 3 miles straight, and make sure that distance is captured before embarking on the return leg.

ETA: I posted a few pages back, I rode my bike 11km out and back; and less than 2km registered each way.  I think the game also throws out any lengths where it determines you exceeded a specified speed (15mph?).   Because my 11km route was mostly straight.  Another factor which I am not sure about, is whether it references your device's pedometer.

Looks like a Whopper!
The original name I had for the Dratini that I was planning to evolve was Whopper Jr. >> Whopper (Dagonaire) >>> Double Whopper (Dragonite)

Double Whopper was too many characters so I switched to Big Mac

I have yet to even see a Dratini and I've caught just over 1,000 pokemon.  Been near lakes/rivers as well.  WTF

Interesting.  There's a loop, but it's a little over a mile long.  It would take me about 6-8 mins to cover the loop.  With that said, I do more of a "q" shape on the route.  If it queries every 2 minutes, I would be in a different spot each time.  I start and end on the straight path, which puts about 10-15mins in between the time I start the loop and the time I get back to the straight path.

Just odd. 

 
This one is really annoying because the app constantly loses me in buildings
Yeah, my GPS has a pretty wide margin of error sometimes. So if it sees you in the park, then halfway across town a minute later, then back in the park a minute after that, it's gonna think you're doing like 800mph and not give you credit for the distance you actually traveled there.

 
also just caught a 1813 arcanine. not sure if hes any good but thats my new highest  :thumbup:
My highest is a 1865 Arcanine, followed by a 1831 Arcanine, followed by a 1704 Arcanine, and then a 1433 Vaporeon.  I catch Growlithes like they are pidgeys.

 
I've held a gym for about 30 hours now. First time I've gone over 21
I trained it up another level after I got off work. 2 hours later someone drops an 1800 cp executor in there. Oh hell yes. I might open another spot if we're still holding it tomorrow 
I've collected on this gym 4 or 5 times and it's still going strong. Currently has a 1650 cp flareon, 1700 cp vaporeon, 1800 cp executor, 1850 cp snorlax, 2100 cp slowbro and 2200 cp lapras. It's too hard for me to train it up further though.

 
Don't think I saw this mentioned in here, you can force close the game on the evolve animations, then restart the game. Should be a little quicker than the evolve animation = more evolves per lucky egg. 

Saw a guy do about 130 evolves in 30 minutes the other night.

Woah, that's a lot.

does your pokemon get stronger the longer it stays there? or what is the benefit of holding it

was he evolving weedles & pidgeys?

 
High CP is only part of the equation.... You should be looking at IV stats on guys before evolving. You ideally don't want to evolve a pokemon with IVs below 70 or 80 if you can avoid it. Google pokemon go IV calculator to see how to look it up.

Level 23 here... nothing close to that yet... caught a 784 Nidorina on my lunch :bag:   Here's hoping.
Things had gotten boring, nothing new in a while, then the Snorlax appeared. The only other big guy I've seen since I've been playing was a cp??? Electabuzz and he ran away after one throw. Rare means rare I guess, unless you find a "nest" like some people have mentioned. I wonder if there is an online database that lists rare spawning sites?

It's a real grind to level up at this point.  I need 125,000 XP to get to level 24.  I have 435,000 XP right now total.  That's 30% of what I have already earned to get to the next level.  It's turning into a grind.

 
Other than my 882 Jinx earlier in the week, I really haven't caught anything exciting. 

I am soooo sick of Magnemites. I swear I catch more of them than Pidgeys and Rats.

This is so strange to me.  I have never even seen a Magnemite.  Seen Pidgeys(229), Ratattas (162) and Weedles(199) are the most common for me.  See a lot of Eevees too, 97.

Don't make it about leveling up, otherwise it will be a grind.  The slope gets ridiculous in the 20's and insane in the 30's.  I am L23 like you, and the math shows I'd need to keep up my 100k XP / week pace for about 4 more years to reach the (current) highest level.  No thanks.

For me the fun comes from filling out the pokedex.  Right now I have 105, and I think another ~10 are in reach.  

I don't really care about gym battles.
