Erhmm....

"evolve_only_with_lucky_egg": true,
"evolve_count_for_lucky_egg": 80,

So; only evolve when we have a lucky egg AND 80 Pokemon to evolve. No problem there.... BUT! When the optimizer won't transfer Pokemon, he needs those Pokemon to evolve later. So it can happen the optimizer can't transfer any Pokemon because he is waiting for enough Pokemon to evolve with a lucky egg. To combat this I have configured it differently;

"evolve_only_with_lucky_egg": false,
"evolve_count_for_lucky_egg": 60,

With this config, the Optimizer will still try to get to the number of Pokemon to evolve with a lucky egg (yes I know my number is low) BUT when there isn't enough room in the bag left, the Optimizer will start evolving anyway (without lucky egg!!) and then clear out the bag of evolved trash so the bags are clean again and the bot continues to work. I hope this info helps.

[pogarek]

yeah. but I have 500 slots in bag.... so 80 pokemons to evolve shouldn't be a problem, right ?

[davidakachaos]

I know, but it appears to be a problem according to the line

Skipping evolution step. Not enough Pokemon to evolve with lucky egg: 69/80

I see you have the debug log enabled, there should be a file under data of the optimizer with logging of the rules and such; maybe that will tell you why some pokemon aren't evolving?

But I agree, having 500 space should be enough.....

[pogarek]

so let's add another run. the same account, the same bag, just some time later (and I've transfered some pokemons manually in game) :

So this time optimizer transfered some guys. Also upgrade doesn't happen, but I've create another issue for it.

[davidakachaos]

Very strange indeed, I have 3 accounts running each transfering and upgrading Pokemon without much of a problem.... I'll see if I can dig into this a bit in the weekend...

[MerlionRock]

That's why I'm slowly upgrading my bag to 1000....

Surely I'll have enough to transfer...
