>my old napkin calculations post from the early days when evos were slower
For every lucky egg session, I can pop maybe 70 evolutions.
70 evolutions => 840 candies => 227.5 Pokemon captures (since I need to keep 70 of them so not all are 4 candies each.)
So every lucky egg I use will get me:
(228 caps * 100 xp/cap) + 2 * (70 evos * 500 xp/evo)
= 92,800 exp per lucky egg
I'm lv 18, I need ~1.8 mil exp to hit lv 30, ~19.8 mil exp to hit lv 40.
1.8 mil xp / 92,800 xp/egg = 19.4 lucky eggs => 1 lucky egg pack => 1250 coins
19.8 mil xp / 92,800 xp/egg = 193.97 lucky eggs => 8 lucky egg packs => 10,000 coins
Might need less if more levels give me more eggs but whatever.
Also need 15 storage upgrades * 200 coins each = 3000 coins to hit cap.
My autism probably will make me get 13 backpack upgrades * 200 coins each = 2600 coins just to make them match.
I get 20 coins from gyms per day because I don't have a car and 2 gyms is the max I can hold before some other walker fag comes by and caps it. So I'm going to need:
(10,000 + 3,600 + 2,000) coins / 20 coins/day = 780 days of walking (26 months) to max out on current caps, 500 days if I skip out on upgrades but I'm going to run out of space just on the 70 Pidgeys if I don't so might as well. Need 2 months to get my first pack of lucky eggs. Little under a year (343 days) if I decide to stop at lv 30. If I pop 1 lucky egg a week, it'll actually take me 4 years so I guess I'm not in a rush since 228 mons/week is the time bottleneck, not the coins.
I only get maybe ~100 mons a day if I don't work overtime so 200-400 mons a week is the realistic estimate for me anyway so I guess it really doesn't matter if I get only 20 coins a day. I'll probably hit lv 30 in 7 months. I think I can be satisfied with my progress at 30 and probably quit then.
Heaven forbid Niantic increases the trainer level cap before I hit lv 40 if I commit to that.
