The world map shows PokeStops, Gyms, and wild Pokemon near the player. Rustling leaves in an area indicate where Pokemon are roaming. If players enter this area, wild Pokemon should start turning up after a few minutes. Note that Pokemon can still show up outside of these areas. If a PokeStop is raining pink petals, it means someone has used a Lure Module, which increases the frequency of wild Pokemon appearing near that particular stop. Stay close to a PokeStop if you want to get the most out of its Lure; even better, get between two overlapping PokeStops with Lures on them for a greatly increased rate of wild Pokemon showing up.
The graphic in the bottom right area of the screen indicates some of the types of Pokemon nearby, with the number of footsteps indicative of how far away they are from you. To track a Pokemon, tap the bar to bring up the full list, select a specific Pokemon to highlight it, and then start walking. The footsteps will either decrease, or increase until the Pokemon disappears completely. If the number of steps decreases, it means the Pokemon is getting closer.
This method can be used to track a Pokemon until it appears. If you walk in a direction and more steps appear, try turning around and walking in another direction until the Pokemon gets closer. When the Pokemon is down to zero steps, it means it's very close to you!
Simply select it, and wait a few seconds for it to appear. You'll also notice pulses that emit as you explore the map. They indicate when major changes have occurred in the availability of the area's Pokemon.
When engaging a Pokemon in battle, throwing the ball at the inner circle when it's at its smallest is the best way to go. The colour of the inner circle indicates how hard a Pokemon is to capture. Green is the easiest, orange is harder, and red is the hardest to catch. Razz Berries can be fed to the Pokemon to lower the difficulty for the next catch. If the Pokemon breaks free, you'll have to feed it another Razz Berry to lower it again. Once a Poke Ball has been thrown, it cannot be picked up again. If a Poke Ball throw hits the inside of the color circle an experience bonus is granted, depending on the size of the circle.
You receive 100 XP for Excellent throws (Small), 50 XP for Great (Half), and 10 XP for Nice (Full). You can also spin a Poke Ball around in circles quickly and toss it, which activates a curveball bonus if the throw lands. Take the time to throw the ball properly; a Pokemon engaged in battle will not run away based on time. What triggers the run-away is the act of breaking out of a Poke Ball. Bringing up the item bag cannot interrupt runaways.
When a wild Pokemon is caught, it also adds two things to the inventory: Stardust and Candy. Candy is specific to the earliest evolution stage of a Pokemon species. For example, catching a Pidgey gives Pidgey Candy, and catching a Pidgeotto also gives Pidgey Candy.
A Pokemon can also be 'transferred' (i.e. Sold forever) to Professor Willow for one candy.
Pokemon require an amount of their specific Candy type to evolve. The amount of Candy needed varies, but basically if you want to evolve a Pokemon, catch more of it to build up that Candy collection! Candy can also be used to strengthen a Pokemon by raising its Combat Power.
This stat dictates how a Pokemon performs in battle. Evolution also raises the CP levels and CP cap of a Pokemon. While Pikachu is an iconic Pokemon, it's surprisingly difficult to find it in Pokemon Go. However, there's a trick that allows you to obtain a Pikachu as your starter. To do so, start a new game and get to the point where Professor Willow allows you to catch Charmander, Squirtle, or Bulbasaur as your starting Pokemon.
Instead of catching any of these, walk away (in real life) until your phone vibrates and the starters reappear. Repeat this process multiple times until a Pikachu spawns in place of the three starters. As you encounter PokeStops, you'll often be rewarded with Pokemon Eggs. These eggs contain a random Pokemon with more Candy and Stardust than what you'd normally get if you caught it in the wild.
Pokemon eggs can be found on the second tab of your Pokemon roster page; you'll notice each egg lists a specific walking distance that must be travelled before it hatches. To start the process of hatching an egg, simply choose one, select 'Start Incubation,' and choose which Incubator you wish to use. Then all you need to do is to start walking the required distance while the app is open to hatch the egg. It's worth noting that an Incubator can only house one egg at a time, so if you want to incubate more than one, you'll need additional Incubators, which can be bought at the Shop or gained through leveling up. If you want to accelerate the process, riding a bike in real life is a great way to quickly rack up the required kilometers. Be wary; driving your car does not have the same effect, as any speed beyond 15 mph isn't tracked by the app.
When you reach level five, Professor Willow introduces you to gyms and the option to choose your affiliation-Instinct, Mystic, or Valor. There is one of three scenarios that may appear when you are close enough and can tap on a Pokemon Gym. Either the Gym is unclaimed (white), owned by a rival team, or owned by your own chosen team.
If you interact with a gym representing your team, you can either train your Pokemon for XP by battling others or store them there for bonus Poke Coins and Stardust, which can be claimed once every 21 hours. However, when you encounter an opposing team's gym, you can only do battle with its Pokemon. If you defeat its entire roster, you'll take a large amount of Prestige Points away from that gym. High-level gyms with a large amount of Prestige Points may need to be defeated multiple times before they can be claimed. While it can be entertaining, try not to get too caught up taking over the gyms of rival teams. Rather, make sure to strengthen your own team's gyms by choosing the 'Train' option. This allows you to battle Pokemon that are stored at a gym by your allies.
Doing this raises a gym's Prestige Points, which increases the number of Pokemon that can be stored there, thus making it more challenging for rival teams to take it. In addition, training raises your XP, regardless of whether you win or lose, so long as you defeat at least one Pokemon, and Pokemon won't won't need to be revived if they're defeated by a friendly trainer. Aside from battling, your team's gyms gives you the option to store your Pokemon, which adds it to the roster that defends the location from opposing trainers. You can only store one Pokemon at a single gym, but you can defend up to ten gyms. This feature provides you with 10 Poke Coins and 500 Stardust per stored Pokemon every 21 hours.
To redeem these rewards, simply tap the shield icon that appears at the top right of the Shop section. Keep in mind; the Pokemon you store at a gym will be tied to that location, and cannot be used or recalled until it's beaten. If it is defeated while defending a gym, it will be returned to you damaged, and in need of healing. Prepare to go to war. You can tap in and scroll right to see what lineup of Pokemon the gym has defending it. Battles will start with the lowest-CP Pokemon in that Gym, before moving on the next strongest. Like in the original games, Pokemon elemental types should be considered-water beats fire, fire beats grass, grass beats water, etc.
To engage in combat, the player can repeatedly tap the screen to perform basic attacks, which builds up a special meter underneath the health bar. Different types of special moves have different amounts of meter, which can be saved. Each Pokemon has different basic and special attacks. When the meter is full, pressing and holding the screen can unleash a special attack. Swiping left or right can dodge special attacks. This can usually be timed by observing when the screen flashes yellow and the Pokemon rears up, indicating an incoming attack, but we would suggest focusing on belting out as many attacks as possible instead of wasting precious seconds to dodge.
You can also attack a Gym with members of your same team-the defending Pokemon will take damage from all attackers at once. Teaming up with more people will definitely help with getting a Gym's Prestige Points down faster! Defeating at least one Pokemon in the gym will lower the amount of prestige points the Gym has, which will eventually lower its level, meaning that less Pokemon will be able to defend it. Once all Pokemon are kicked out, it will be ready to be claimed by the victor's faction. From there, you can place a Pokemon in there to defend it, and train at it to raise its prestige and Gym level. If a rival faction takes your Gym away, feel free to get right back in there and fight to reclaim it.
Report this ad Earlier this week, Pokemon GOreceived an update that added. For example, players are now able to sort their friend list by name and even choose nicknames for their pals, which is both useful and just plain fun. Though, these aren’t the only features that the update added and some fans are raising concerns that the game may have just introduced a major security issue. The feature in question regarding the game’s gifting process. The update introduced the ability to see exactly where a player sent a gift from, highlighting the exact PokeStop on the map. Previously, players would have access to limited information about where another player sent a gift from. They would get the name of the PokeStop but not its exact location, meaning that players would have to do a little bit of digging to find it if they really wanted to.
But with the update, the location is pinpointed exactly. The reason that this is being seen as a security risk is that it would allow a potential stalker – or any other unwanted person – to easily pinpoint someone’s location. Since Pokemon GO launched, there has been no shortage of reports about crimes being committed in places where players frequent. In 2016, police alerted the public about a who were using Pokemon GO to lure in the victims. The police department warned players about alerting strangers to their location; this new feature seems to be antithetical to that. I absolutely love this feature of the latest update.
You can now see the location of the pokestop your gift came from. Again, this is making me want to pay Japan a visit — Ismael Rosado TL: 40 (est. 7-7-16) (@Sn3ak3rFr3ak3r) As players will only be sending gifts to those on their friends list, some may argue that this isn’t such a big deal. It is inadvisable to add strangers as friends on Pokemon GO in the first place as by doing so, players will open themselves up to all sorts of invasions of privacy like those outlined above.
Plus, the and the benefits for making friends and sending them gifts (e.g Stardust discounts on Pokemon trades) are designed to reward actual friends, not random strangers aiming to wring rewards out of the system. Pokemon GO developer Niantic may also argue that the new feature is useful for highlighting the many places in which its game is enjoyed. As the tweet above shows, it may even encourage some players to take a trip around the globe, visiting some of the Pokestops where their gifts have come from. But others will argue that the feature isn’t something that many fans were asking for and it feels like an unnecessary invasion of privacy. Not everyone will agree with that assessment but the fact that some are discussing it at all shows just how much of an impact the game’s updates can have and just how careful Niantic has to be when introducing new features. Pokemon GO is available on Android and iOS devices.
