It willl wait for
evolve_stack_limit=10 before start evolving

[casper-gh]

@FrancYescO I don't really understand what it means, but I have like 30+ Pidgeys and bot still doesn't evolve

[FrancYescO]

Sometime it will log "Pokémon ready for stack evolve xx" probably you need more candys?

[casper-gh]

I got Pokémon ready for stack evolve 0, but I have 5K + of Pidgey candies

[FrancYescO]

Pidgy is also here..

obligatory_transfer=DODUO,RATTATA,CATERPIE,PIDGEY

[casper-gh]

but doesn't evolve_before_transfer will evolve the pokemon first? So what you're saying is I cannot define the same pokemon in both obligatory_transfer and evolve_before_transfer ?

[FrancYescO]

How can a Pokémon be evolved if you "obligatory" throw away?

[casper-gh]

The thing is, the bot neither throws those pokemon away nor evolve it, all those pokemon are retained making my pokemon inventory full

[FrancYescO]

Post your Pokémon list

[casper-gh]

Sorry I manually evolved them all, will try to get the list when pokemon are full again

[casper-gh]

Ok I got the pokemon list here http://pastebin.com/87Y8RrcJ

You can see there's a lot of Pidgeys...

[FrancYescO]

and still Pokémon ready for stack evolve 0 ???? if you don't see this incrementing and reaching 10 (as you config require) you will never get an evolve.

[casper-gh]

that's why it's a bug?

[FrancYescO]

yeah but to me is working good, so wee need to find what's wrong with your config.

[casper-gh]

can you share your config?

[FrancYescO]

"obligatoryTransfer" : [ ],
"evolveBeforeTransfer" : [ "CATERPIE", "RATTATA", "WEEDLE", "PIDGEY", "ZUBAT" ],
"evolveStackLimit" : 70,
"useLuckyEgg" : 1,

butw probably somehow related to
#1088

[casper-gh]

So don't put anything in obligatory transfer?

[FrancYescO]

no, i don't want to obligatory transfer.

[FrancYescO]

also make sure to edit the json file if present and not proprieties one.

[casper-gh]

can you share the entire json template?

[FrancYescO]

i'm using develop with some pr merged so some config will be in conflict.

what can affect this issue is already up

[MacDogg]

Having the same issue.
Config info related to this:
obligatory_transfer=CATERPIE,RATTATA,WEEDLE,PIDGEY (this seems to be ignored because none of these are transferred, they are all still in my inventory)
evolve_before_transfer=CATERPIE,RATTATA,WEEDLE,PIDGEY
evolve_stack_limit=30
use_lucky_egg=1
I currently have 14 Weedle, 15 Rattata, 23 Pidgey and 9 Caterpie. When I start the bot with the above settings nothing happens, they aren't transferred, they aren't evolved.
I have 582 Weedle candy so I can evolve 48. I have 942 Rattata candy so I can evolve 37. I have 1256 Pidgey candy so I can evolve 104. I have 297 Catepie candy so I can evolve 24. I have 5 lucky eggs.
I even cleared the obligatory_transfer line and still nothing happens.

[casper-gh]

in my case, the config on obligatory_transfer works fine, just evolve_before_transfer isn't working

[FrancYescO]

the crucial thing is

"evolveStackLimit" : 70,

no evolve are done until we have enought pokemon to evolve defined by this value

obligatory_transfer pokemon are kept if also in the evolve_before_transfer (still a nosense to have in both list)

[casper-gh]

My new config looks like this:

obligatory_transfer=DODUO
evolve_before_transfer=CATERPIE,RATTATA,WEEDLE,PIDGEY,DROWZEE

But after 8 hrs botting, still getting full pokemon inventory because all the above pokemon are kept.

[FrancYescO]

if in your log you see

Stack of pokemon ready to evolve: 0

this is the issue but this can also mean you have not enought candy.. probably i need a full session log to understand something, also waiting for the next version might have solved this issue due to some changes done in the evolve func.

[th3n3rd]

I had the same issue with Drowzee, like 1k+ candies and fill up the inventory. I've also tried to put it in the obligatory transfer and also in the list of "evolve before transfer" but I got into another issue where I got an arithmetic exception (division by zero). I believe there is some problem with the candies evaluation. I am using 0.6 by the way.

[casper-gh]

Yes, that's what I have

[th3n3rd]

One thing that helps, just tried, is to use the max_pokemon_amount parameter. If you set the latter to 1 the bot will discard all the duplicate leaving only one pokemon per type but for the ones listed within evolve_before_transfer list! (unless you need candies of course).

[Sieberkev]

Can you get the most recent develop version (and not 0.6.0 release) and test it again? Several pieces of code for the evolving got improved.

[casper-gh]

I'm waiting for the release build, anyway I think the issue mostly happens if the bot is scheduled to restart periodically.

Question:

details.

Player want only 3 of each pokemon max.
Players wants to evolve at stack 30
Player obtains 4 pidgey, does bot throw away pidgey, or keep it knowing it is already doomed to be transfered after it evolves.

Realistically the player keeps it as it is a "evolve&&transfer pokemon", so hoping the bot is able to see this as well.

Sorry for hijacking this thread, I didn't see someone complaining for either side in the issue threads so I chose the closes one on topic to ask, however I am going to use these settings and see what happens.

[FrancYescO]

Will keep it.
