Main Points

 * Nick’s seven day streak, got a Dragon Scale
 * Hatched Gastly, Aerodactyl, Drowzee, Smoochum, Phanpy, Shellder, Misdreavous
 * Caught Matine, Phanpy, Magcargo, Skarmory
 * Cassy hit level 30
 * Eeveelutions determined on catch? Evolving an Eevee normally won’t get Umbreon/Espeon—have to walk 10K with them and evolve in day/night
 * Percentage of hatching Gen 2? Each pokemon has its own hatch rate
 * Best Gen 2 gym defender? Blissey
 * How rare are evolution items? Don’t know the rate yet, but pretty rare
 * Pinap on evolved, more more candy? Yes. Second stage got 20 candy with Pinap
 * Favorite Gen 2? Celebi
 * Baby pokemon only in eggs? Still in eggs, not confirmed if they’re in the wild
 * CP system only giving few gym defenders thoughts? It’s awful, more in a future episode
 * Gen 1 vs. Gen 2 which is stronger? Compare pokemon, not generations
 * With storage at 50% price, is now the time to max out? Yes
 * What evolutions should we prioritize? What you like. Scizor > Steelix, Slowking > Politoad, Bellossom > Sunflora CP-wise
 * What’s the next step for Niantic? Legendaries and events on different timelines. Likely trading first
 * Thoughts on “weird” moves? There as defensive movesets
 * Mareep’s family super rare, Nick regrets not catching a Flaaffy spawn trying to pace himself
