This is a request for you to brag. I want to see where I stack up (I don't expect that I will compare favorably to many). Please indicate your level and playing style.

Lvl 33, I mainly train friendly gyms anymore, I've narrowed my regular area down to 10 gyms in which I will prestige or knock out the opposition of that I encounter or can without going too far out of my way in a daily basis. Not quite as gung ho as I used to be, I'll pass right by these gyms sometimes with opposition in there if I'm already in 10 and don't feel like battling. I'll always prestige a strong gym and stick a mon in it no matter where I happen across it. I put a lot of work into Snorlax, 786 KM, so those would be my pride and joy.
Lvl 31, started on 11/3. The wife (who is also 31) and I are having fun exploring parks and different places when we travel. We probably have pokes from a dozen different states
We aim to collect on 10 gyms every day and have had pretty good luck. All coins have been from gyms and we both recently got both backpack and poke storage maxed out and are now buying incubators when we can.
Haven't had a lot of luck in the poke department. Highest CP is a 3029 88.8% IV draggy, could go higher but has been in a gym for a while. I also have a 93.3 draggy that I'm leveling up as I get the candies. Unfortunately both got SW/HB moveset, bleh. Next highest is a 2909 91.1 Rhydon, then a 2894 93.3 Gyra with bite/twister. The first 4 Gyra I evolved all got that same crappy moveset. The most recent one got DT/Outrage though My best Snorlax is 2870 75.5% with L/EQ (again bleh). I did catch a 42.2% one in the wild with L/BS that I'm leveling as I get candies.
My only Blissey so far got zh/psychic but I recently hatched a 88.8 chansey and hoping for better moves when she evolves. I've got a 2786 vape with HP for attack and 2761 with AT for gyms. Also have a 2555 eggy with solar beam for attacking and a 2538 with con/seedb for gyms.
This is really the 1st game she's played and enjoyed, I've played Pokemon since gold/silver and other video games for years before that and she always thought the same thing. My daughter convinced her to dl and try it and we played when we on a trip to Florida. My main phone is Windows phone (for the games) so I couldn't play on my own phone at the time.
When I got home I borrowed my wife's old android phone which promptly died so I ended up picking up a used Iphone5 that I tether to my main phone when we go out. Works great.
It is really nice having 2 players when you taking out gyms and when I'm driving she can keep an eye out for pokemon and gyms that we can take or add to.
And when we go places with my 2 daughters there are 4 of us playing which is a lot of fun too and gives us something in common to talk about.
Level 35 free player (spent $0 on in-app pokecoin purchases). Have collected free pokecoins on 10 gyms every day in 2017, and averaged probably 6-7 per day from Sept.-Dec., 2016 (started playing July 14).
Top 6 lists, based on best/favorite/most used (these are arbitrary, and my opinion could change tomorrow):
Attackers:
3073 Dragonite DB/DP
2629 Exeggutor ZH/SoB
2832 Vaporeon WG/HP
2943 Gyarados B/HP
2344 Jolteon TS/TB (Gyarados specialist)
2128 Lapras FB/B (D'nite specialist, caught wild)
Defenders:
3021 Dragonite SW/DC
2771 Exeggutor C/P (100% IV's)
2500-2800 numerous WG/AT Vaporeons
2500-2800 numerous B/DP Gyarados
2613 Snorlax ZH/EQ
2598 Alakazam C/P
Prestigers:
1500 Tangela VW/SoB
1478 Blastoise WG/HP
1471 Piloswine PS/A
1503 Wigglytuff P/HB (one of many)
1456 Raichu TS/T (with Santa hat)
1434 Umbreon Sn/DP
Misc.:
2456 Charizard WA/DC (100% IV's)
2217 Scyther SW/BB (100% IV's)
2216 Kingdra DB/B (100% IV's, super fun vs. D'nite)
2034 Aerodactyl SW/HB (current buddy)
1136 Charizard WA/DC (caught wild)
773 Chansey ZH/HB (caught wild, completed gen 1 dex)
I'm in a suburb in a water/ice biome. Swinubs are everywhere, and wild piloswines are common enough that I often don't bother catching them. According to my pokedex, I've caught 31 Piloswines, and I'd guess about half were evolved, half wild. Currently keeping nine between CP 1081-2024, four with PS/A, and five with IS/A. Top two are CP 2024 and 1913, both with PS/A.
I actually like to use the 2024 Piloswine and the 2216 Kingdra more than the FB/B Lapras for attacking into Dragonite, but the Lapras is more reliable, due to its tankiness.
Lvl32 here.
I would say this guy, with legacy Mud Shot has been a long term fav.
He is not the strongest or the most versatile, but he has been with me for a long time, and we have been through many battles together. He has steamrolled many bigger meaner Snorlax over time.
I try to find a way to get him into battle, even though there are usually better options...even since the last moveset change took him down a notch.
His animation is just cool (at least I think so), and he has always been fun to use.
He isn't my 'best', but he is my favourite.
Level 34 tomorrow or the next day.. (about 15k xp away), try to stay in 10 gyms every day, and hurl balls at anything that moves, just to farm the stardust.
I'd go with my couple dozen Hydropump Vaporeons and my 10 Blisseys. I only have one dragonite, and a handful of Snorli, but I'm fine with that. I love my Vaporeons, almost as much as a certain individual here loves his Pinsirs.
It used to be my army of 33 Arcanines back in the day. But they don't get out much anymore.
