Evolve not properly working?

[rubyShell]

Can someone point out a good working configuration for evolving pokemon?

I want to farm all pokemon, have them evolve, and then transfer the evolved ones out. Just to get mass xp gains. I set specific ones in evolve_list and the evolved ones that I want released in the release config.

The transfer/release stuff is working fine but I can't seem to get the evolve portion right. Am I missing something or did I configure something wrong in my evolve section?

Bot is running and working but Evolvable never updates even though I've caught several pokemon in my evolve_list. Thanks!

[Jcolomar]

did u read docs about evolve?

The evolve all mechanism evolves only higher IV/CP Pokémon. It works by sorting the high CP Pokémon (default: 300 CP or higher) based on their IV values. After evolving all high CP Pokémon, the mechanism will move on to evolving lower CP Pokémon only based on their CP (if it can). It will also automatically transfer the evolved Pokémon based on the release configuration.

[rubyShell]

@Jcolomar Let me try it out. I totally kept skipping over that paragraph in the evolve documentation thinking it was just about tweak parameters. My bad.

[rubyShell]

Okay, I added evolve_cp_min = 1 but nothing is working now.

Does this stanza look right?

Transfer pokemon is enabled and my release configuration is solid.

I keep seeing this...

[2017-03-30 08:40:46] [EvolvePokemon] [INFO] Evolvable: 0/1

Even though I have plenty of pokemon to evolve :/

[rubyShell]

I had the evolve list in brackets which I updated at some point thinking it didn't like my list. I have removed it and it appears to be working now. Just want to ensure the transfer is still working and I'll close this out.
Thanks @Jcolomar

today i started to test evolvepokemon and i have this setup:

{
"type": "EvolvePokemon",
"config": {
"enabled": true,
"log_interval": 360,
"evolve_list": "all",
"donot_evolve_list": "none",
"first_evolve_by": "iv",
"evolve_above_cp": 9,
"evolve_above_iv": 0.99,
"logic": "and",
"min_evolve_speed": 25,
"max_evolve_speed": 30,
"min_pokemon_to_be_evolved": 2,
"use_lucky_egg": false
}
},

Only for evolve iv = 1

[rubyShell]

It only evolved a few so I added some more parameters based on your configuration.

        "type": "EvolvePokemon",
        "config": {
            "enabled": true,
            "log_interval": 30,
            "evolve_list": "mankey, psyduck, sandshrew, marill, slugma, cyndaquil, doduo, krabby, cubone, pidgey, rattata, natu, ekans, meowth, wooper, venonat, geodude, paras, spearow",
            "min_evolve_speed": 25,
            "max_evolve_speed": 30,
            "use_lucky_egg": false,
            "evolve_cp_min": 1,
            "evolve_iv_min": 0,
            "evolve_above_cp": 1,
            "evolve_above_iv": 0,
            "logic": "and",
            "donot_evolve_list": "none",
            "min_pokemon_to_be_evolved": 1
        }

[Jcolomar]

i hope it works now

[rubyShell]

This final configuration worked. I'll make a PR to update the documentation as they aren't too clear.

great
