Understand the Basics of Pokemon Go

The objective of the app is to catch as many Pokemon as possible. Once you’ve accumulated your Pokemon, you put them into battle.

The Gist of Pokemon Go

To master any game, it’s important to understand the basics – and it’s no different with Pokemon Go. But there’s more to understanding Pokemon Go than you may realize.

To catch Pokemon, you need to visit PokeStops along the game’s map. These are real-life locations. Through the lens of your phone, they’ll appear as if they’re in the Pokemon Universe.

At the PokeStops, you’ll rack up your experience points. The more of these accumulate, the closer you’ll get to becoming a master. You’ll also collect more Pokemon Candy, which can help you evolve your Pokemon.

Items

You’ll not only come across different Pokemon at PokeStops. You’ll also be able to acquire a wide variety of items, too. These also help you perform certain actions.

For example, incense helps you attract more Pokemon when you’re at the stops. When your Pokemon get injured, you can heal them with potions.

Pokemon love berries and there are all different types that you’ll use to lure Pokemon. As you play more advanced levels, these berries change. You can even use Lucky Eggs to attract more Pokemon.

There are also ways to unlock Evolution items. These help your Pokemon become stronger and more advanced. Candies will help you collect more Evolution items and advance your Pokemon.

PokeBalls & PokeCoins

There are also different PokeBalls you use at various levels of the game. If you’re new to Pokemon, you throw the PokeBalls to catch the Pokemon. As you advance, you’ll start to use more sophisticated PokeBalls.

Not only will you rack up more Pokemon and points as you play, but you’ll also earn PokeCoins, which can help you buy special items.

For example, you can purchase clothing and accessories to dress your Pokemon in.

Catch As Many Pokemon & Items As Possible

When you’re starting out, it’s important to catch as many nearby Pokemon as possible. This is a good way to grasp the game while assembling your Pokemon collection.

Take every opportunity you can to catch Pokemon. If you take public transportation, try to catch as many along your route. If you commute by car, you’ll need to plan your PokeStop trips in advance.

It’s important to play frequently if you want to become a master. As you play, you’ll come across bigger and better Pokemon.

How to Catch Pokemon & Items

As soon as a Pokemon appears on your screen, you can tap and catch it. You don’t need to wait for it to move any closer. Even if a Pokemon runs off, it’s likely still in the area – so don’t give up!

Educate yourself on the different Pokemon and how to catch them. This way, you’re able to collect the items you need to do so.

For example, if you want to catch Zapdos, learn more about where to find it. You should understand its power of electricity and where it thrives.

You’ll find items at PokeStops in clickable bubbles. Instead of clicking them directly, you can X out of them. You’ll collect them in an instant and save time in the process.

When you collect eggs at a PokeStop, be sure to walk around for a little while. This will allow you to incubate the eggs more efficiently.

If you come across a higher level egg, be sure to incubate. These stronger eggs will help you catch better and rarer Pokemon.

Play with Friends & Train Your Pokemon

What are some other Pokemon Go tips you can practice?

Playing with friends is one of the most important Pokemon Go tricks out there. It makes the game more fun to play and helps you climb the ranks in the process!

How do you invite more friends to play with you? Don’t just send out an ordinary SMS message. Invite your inner circle to meet you at a PokeStop by sending a funny anime GIF.

If you want to expand your Pokemon Go circle, post about it on social media. You never know which family members, coworkers, or mutual friends play, too.

When you play with friends, it’s also easier to trade items in the form of gifts.

In need of some potion or berries to heal and catch more Pokemon? You can easily acquire some from a friend by trading or receiving a gift.

There’s more to Pokemon Go tips and tricks than catching Pokemon. To become a master, you’ll need to train your Pokemon.

The more Stardust and Candy you collect, the more you’ll be able to power up your Pokemon. By staying on top of this, you’ll be able to evolve and strengthen them. Plus, the more you frequent PokeStops, the more Stardust and Candy you’ll collect.
