Pokémon GO – Tips, Tricks, and More!

Hey, everyone! I've decided to put together a page on Pokémon GO that contains all the tips you might be looking for. Have any that you don't see here? Post them below and I'll add them! • Pokémon GO only tends to use about 8MB of data per hour of open use (i.e. not when put away). If you find that you're using more, try closing other apps. It'll save battery, too! • Catch lots of Pokémon, even if you have them. The items they give you can be used towards you main ones. • You can start off with a Pikachu by walking away from the starters four times. • Poké Stops refresh every five minutes or so. • Gyms can be challenged with other people on your team near you and they don't have to be on your team, so long as they aren't on the same team as the one that holds the gym. Up to six people can battle against a gym at the same time. • Pokémon size may influence its max CP. More details on this as they come, but some say the heavier it is, the higher the CP can go. • Spin a ball around before throwing it to do a curve ball. • The smaller the circle is around a Pokémon, the higher the bonus you'll get upon catching it. The colour of the ring relates to its aggression. Lower aggression (green) means it's easier to catch while higher (red) means it'll be harder. • Save your stardust for higher levels. • Turn on power saving mode and flip your phone upside down to let it keep tracking while using a lot less power. • Naming your Eevee Rainer will have it evolve into a Vaporeon, naming it Pyro will evolve it into Flareon, and naming it Sparky will evolve it into Jolteon. [b][u]Make sure to quit and restart the app for it to properly register this. Wait a bit, too. Additionally, this seems to only work once per evolution (one Jolteon, one Vaporeon, and one Flareon).[/u][/b] • Catch a large number of Pidgeys and Rattatas. A very large number. Then, use a Lucky Egg. Evolve them for 1,000 Exp each. • Gyms can be challenged by more than one person on a rival team (in relation to who owns the gym) at a time. • Rather than evolving a low CP Pokémon with two evolutions and then evolving it again later, wait until you have enough candies to evolve it twice. By then, you'll have caught more than enough of that type of Pokémon to catch stronger versions of it and, thus, you'll save some candies.

  • [quote]• You can pick up poké balls by tapping them after you miss. [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYURo2WOg2o](Video proof)[/url] [b]NOTE: You have to do this at a very specific timing which is hard to master..[/b][/quote] Everyone I know who believes this failed to notice the number of balls they currently have still decreases when they "picked up their pokeballs". [i]So post video showing the number of balls you have prior to and after each throw and I will believe it[/i] [quote]• Pokémon size may influence its max CP. More details on this as they come, but some say the heavier it is, the higher the CP can go.[/quote] The max CP of any pokemon can be increased by training them at gyms. [quote]• Wait until the circle around a Pokémon is as small as it can be before tossing a Poké ball. This gives you the greatest chance to catch it![/quote] The circle is actually a skill shot. If you throw a ball and land it inside the circle you will get a bonus. Full size circle - anything greater then 50% = Nice! ; Nice Throw 10 xp 50% - anything larger then ~10% remaining = Great!! ; Great Throw 50 xp Any throw that hits the very center when the circle is about to disappear = Excellent!!! ; Excellent Trainer 100 xp [i]Scoring these bonuses increases your chances if catching the pokemon on the associated throws.[/i]
