You know, I actually like that they're not giving any tutorials. Games used to be like that before, it makes you want to research and discover all the things the game has.

Then the Internet happened.

+The Guy Who Shot Nino Brown so true
I guess all those booklet manuals that were bundled with virtually every retail game (so basically all of them sans preinstalled ones) were just in my imagination, huh?
-Same Type Attack Bonuses (or STAB) is a mechanic in the game. Meaning a Pokemon of a specific type gets an additional attack bonus when using the same type attack. This is actually more valuable than just comparing CP. This is one of the reasons why the Eveelutions are so absurdly strong.
-The three dominant stats in Pokemon Go are Attack, Speed, and Defense. There is no special attack or special defense.
-Finding Pokemon in certain areas are relatively canon to where you would find them in the gameboy games. But, there has to be either a gym or Pokestop nearby to recognize the area.
-Pokemon defending gyms attack in set 1.5 second intervals, regardless of speed.
-Each team has an unlisted perk: Valor can catch high CP pokemon easier and attract higher CP pokemon., Mystic gets bonus CP when evolving pokemon and more CP when powering up ones that don't evolve, and Instinct's Pokemon hatch with 90% of their CP bar filled and significantly more candy.
-All wild Pokemon cap at level 30 and hatched ones cap at level 20, so save your stardust for endgame to power up your favorites. (Unknown how team perks affect this)
-Pokemon Go generates a lot of junk files and cache. Get an app that can automatically clean these files up to save valuable memory space and prevent unnecessary crashes.
-The ceiling fan "trick" doesn't work for hatching eggs. Stop being lazy and travel.
when a comment is more insightful then the actual video...
ty.
i.e. a water type Pokemon using a water type attack gets a damage bonus? As opposed to say a water type Pokemon using a ground attack?
+Alex Pegington Yes. It's not enough to match types, you have to match moves. If a Pikachu is fending off a Staryu, it needs to use an electric attack. Something like Quick Attack won't deal extra damage just because Staryu is weak against electric Pokémon. Basic game rules since the beginning.
Ravyn Liam
True, but what I'm talking about is a grass type will deal more damage with a grass move than another type that uses a grass move. Or a grass/poison will get a bonus to their grass and poison moves. But a normal will only deal the base damage with a psychic or ground attack. Kind of why Snorlax with Bodyslam is more powerful than one with Earthquake. Their Zen Headbutt won't deal as much damage as a psychic type with similar CP.
Source that hatched ones cap at 20? "All wild Pokemon cap at level 30 and hatched ones cap at level 20"
Battery saver mode = guaranteed way to get the game to crash when you flip it up again.
holy crap, I thought I was the only one! it's so frustrating!
Doesn't crash for me but it stops allowing me to tap on anything until I restart the game.
Me 2, i hope they will patch all these bugs soon..
I've got a LG G3, my friend a HTC M9 and my other friend has the same phone I have and we all have experienced that problem of the game freezing and not allowing to tap anywhere on the screen, So to the Rude bitch on top, you have no idea what you're talking about.
+God Damn yeah same
these aren't "hidden" most are obvious and simple
They are hidden. Lol the game itself does not tell you any of this
They actually do... for example combat is explained when you first arrive at a gym.
Catching pokemon is explained at the beginning of the game.
oh wow you are soooooo smart omg I'm so impressed with you damnnnnn. you must know everything!!!!
+TheDarthJesus
You named only a few things, he said "most" which is completely untrue. Majority of what was discussed in this video are indeed hidden.
SSGSS4 Gogeta
You want me to go through their entire list and tell you where in the Game it explains these things to you?
Seriously?
The one with the google maps download is total horse shit according to one of Niantics developpers. He was asked on twitter if the tweak actually works and is response simply was "There is no way". Turns out the app is sandboxed, so it doesn't share resources with other apps to prevent malicious usage of the app.
I tested it myself, since I live at the border of 2 other countries, I downloaded the maps of surrounding areas and then crossed the border to get a cell connection to a german provider. The Pokemon Go app kept showing me moving on a green area (it couldn't download the map) while the google maps app still used the downloaded map.
I was curious about that. Thanks for the heads up!
thanks, almost downloaded the entire state of ohio
I was wondering, because usually apps are sandboxed, on iPhone that would had been a feat to allow this feature.
Thanks Man!
This! Classic games journalism. "We'll just guess something and print it as fact"
14 hidden mechanics Pokemon go never tells you about but you don't need a brain to figure out
Oh really? So you knew the Eevee trick from the start?
+cheesesteakphilly 13*
Everything is just fucking click bait now
True
+cheesesteakphilly what eevee trick? the one that doesnt work?
Good to see that everyone is still reiterating the same generic info over and over again. Let me know when you have some info that's worth listening to.
That's because everything in Pokemon Go is pretty much straightforward. There isn't going to be a lot of secrets. At least not now. It just came out.
I hate these no talent cookie cutter youtube channels.. Everyone just watches the same video and copies it.. This one is worse considering you gotta hear the way this paddie says "poke" every other word... Be original or gtfo of the youtube racket..
Well there is IVs. Look it up if you want to know what it is.
+Daniel Gitelman Don't always evolve the highest cp and check the IVs first with an IV calculator
+Emrah Melez right. I love how this girl misses the fact that the Eevee renaming is actually an easter egg
dat jolteon is the antichrist.
ikr
LMFAO TRU
Lol my magmar was also that same cp
youre an idiot
Dino Man its a joke you scumbag
Google engineers have officially said downloading local maps won't help.
That's bs, I've seen it in action, it used to really kill my battery before I downloaded the offline maps, now it kills it at a slower rate
+ripa9 probably, I haven't seen any myself, I just know that I've seen a noticeable difference in battery consumption after downloading the offline maps of my area
Link? It's been working for a lot of us.
He posted about it on twitter, he said not only no but noooooo. This video is pretty fucking bad to be honest. She gives awful advice for anyone who is trying to have the strongest Pokemon
Can you point us at the article / release where they said that?
I nominate you for the Most Annoyiny Accent Award 2016
I nominate it as the most fuc- Hand holdable accent.
It's super fucking annoying
+Rapps Ho it's still annoying
I thought it was just Scottish people that found our accent annoying
Shit dude
Personally, I'd nominate a strong, southern American accent
"Hidden game mechanics" a.k.a. "Things you will know if you've been playing for more than a day"
Not to mention the things that are just wrong on this video.
you should rename this video to:
Things people who knew nothing about pokemon before go should know...the rest of us know...
I knew all but the GPS data saving option, but that one trick was WELL worth the watch. Thanks!
If you're talking about the maps downloading from Google, may I ask if it actually changed anything for you? I never looked at the difference, but someone important said it wouldn't work.
+Gator Bait haven't tried it yet, will get back to you!
+Gator Bait cant u get banned for that
Same!
+James McPherson no you are thinking of GPS spoofing
Hidden mechanics? More like beginner tips..
ikr like everyone know this
i didnt knw to download my work areas from google maps to help the map in my poke
Lol yeah
and misinformation too. cp doesn't mean shit if the IV for the mon is shit. check your mons in the silphroad's IV rater first. powering up a good IV mon is far more valuable than having a high cp mon with trash IVs.
"PO-KOH-MUN"
"PO-KOH-MUN"
"PO-KOH-BOWL"
"PO-KOH-BOWL"
her pronounciation pissed me off so much
It's called an "accent". You have one too.
As others said, it is indeed called an accent.
And I rather enjoyed it, myself.
no shit, but am i not allowed to be annoyed?
chimpokomon
5:10 Sparky is the Devil confirmed
omg I see it
lol!
once you see it
I named mine satan cuz of 6.66 weight and it turned to a flareon lol
most of these are common sense.
You realize common sense isn't common anymore. Its like a legendary pokemon in pokemon go atm.... it doesn't really exist, lmao.
+Lokim23 what are you even talking about?
+Jake Ratliff you just proved my point...
+Lokim23 stop trying to be funny, the guy is right.
+Lokim23 yeah dude you sound like a dumbass lmao
when i use battery saving mode the app always freezes
same
Mine does too
I'm using a note 5 and use battery saving and have no problem
It's because Pokemon Go is designed to waste power.
+Ethan8or true
but sometimes when I use battery saver, my game doesn't allow me to select anything:(
Another glitch :(
It's a glitch , turning on battery saver causes your game to freeze I recommend not using it till they patch it
I had that problem too, but it got fixed after force stopped Go, and cleared the cache from my phone.
Only happens if you touch your phone too soon. Wait a half second and it won't freeze.
I love your accent.
Im from scotland and i hear this accent everywhere
i always hate the sound of a scottish accent on tv and youtube. i shouldnt as well coz im scottish XD. i cringe at the sound of my own voice on my youtube vids XD
+Ryan Anderson that's unfortunate
+Bradley Shankster I'm from Australia, don't hear it much anymore.
+Ryan Anderson sounds like me with my voice.
Using power save makes the game freeze after the screen goes dark
Fucking hate that!
i still dont get how touse it
Doesn't even work on my phone
makes mine freeze
Some people have said that waiting to tap the screen after it brightens solves that issue.
Your first tip is wrong, you get a bonus based on how close to the centre of the Pokemon you hit, ranging from "Nice!" to "Great!" and then "Excellent!", think of the Pokemon as a marble, and you want to aim right for the nose to get the best bonus
battery saving mode is little bugged. I never can tap on anything afte I get out of battery saving. And I have Xperia Z2 and Android 6.
Same here, missed out on a scyther the other day bc of this
Yup, I'm in the same boat. I'm using the same phone and have noticed the same problem.
can u explain how to use ot
Same except I have an iPhone 6s
Yeah, I have the same problem with my iPhone 5c.
"The higher the CP, the better the evolution" no, definitely not XD
It's evolved CP is directly related to its previous evolutions CP
+Eli Cochran no it's not, it's related to the position of the circle on the bar around the Pokemon
That's very true, what do you mean. 😂😂
The position on the circle is the pokemon's CP as a percentage, so yes it is.
+Anthony Fawcett Wow. Well then. Thank you.
2:30 it's official Jolteon is Satan
666
lol i thought i was the only one yo notice that
+Angel Gallaga *to
lol didnt even notice :p
MAY THE POWER OF CHRIST COMPEL YOU!
Razzberries don't expire until your pokeball hits the pokemon
Use real money to buy the bag upgrade (lucky eggs and egg incubators are also helpful). Having extra bag space is worth it to hold more pokeballs!
If you plan to not challenge gyms, delete most your potions and revives so you can hold even more pokeballs!
Walk when you have the incense on. It gives you way more pokemon than if you stay in one spot
Refrain from evolving pokemon to their second form when they also have a third form. It's actually better to wait until you're a high level, but at least wait until you have enough to evolve straight to the last third form.
When you're running, make sure the game is still working. The loading symbol should be disappearing every now and again. If it doesn't disappear, the game probably isn't loading correctly. Close the app to reset.
Tell us something we don't know
Menibor1 I would, but I have no idea what you do or don't know :P
+Yanly touché
2:15, Eevee is mispelled... Anyone notice that?
Yep, and there shouldn't be an apostrophe there either. If you're gonna make a video, at least check your spelling and grammar.
+Albond Furthermore, if you want to be technical, then you should know that "gonna" is not a word. You likely meant to say "going to."
+Albond wrecked
+Salem Allen But a UA-cam comment isn't the same thing as a UA-cam video is it...
+Zhuanghui I agree, but I wasn't correcting you. I was making fun of the guy who did correct you.
it's spelled eevee, you scrubs
14 hidden mechanics you should have noticed by the end of your first day.
Did you notice the Eevee naming thing day 1? Without looking it up.
NeoBlitz13 Nope, but I should have
The Eeveelutions tip has been disproved multiple times.
No it hasn't. It's fact. It only works once per type.
+bmore it legit been proven to be false. you tuber were just lucky to get the Pokemon they wanted I have 4 vaporeon called pyro.
You have to use correct capitalization when you do the trick, otherwise it won't work.
+Alex Loomis I have correct everything and named my eevee Pyro and I got a joltion
i've used it and it worked the first time. After that it didn't work again.
Putting different types of Pokemon in a gym isn't a mechanic of the game - it's a strategy for how to play the game.
I love how they don't mention how laggy/buggy the gym battles are *even when it shows in their recording.*
1:25 THAT SNORLAX IS FINISHED YET IT'S STILL DRAINING PIDGEOT'S LIFE
Been told how the type mechanics works shows how many sheep are playing the game because it's "cool" to play Pokemon......
It has always been cool to play Pokemon 😎
I'm not picking on people for playing as it can be very addictive to the right consumer however I hate people who hated Pokemon playing Pokemon go.
Me: playing 3DS Pokemon
"Hipster": you still play Pokemon on a Nintendo handheld? Lol
Me: 😒🖕
"Hipster": Ooo, an onix is nearby
Me: seriously WTF, Pokemon go is a shit version of Pokemon.
+VaultBoy-Repair I miss the the battles and xp and turn based attacks. Gym battles suck and you can't battle or trade with your friends.
+VaultBoy-Repair
well you said Pokemon go is a shit version of Pokemon
+Elias Elonheimo
yea I was in the wrong sorry
sorry dude
For one handed zooming, double tap on the map portion of the game, and on the second tap hold and move your finger up or down to zoom.
I thought I was the only one who knew that.
I wouldve name the 314 eevee "Pi"
Another trick is that at the beginning when you pick you 3 type Pokemon do not pick any.If you carry on walking you should see pikachu and then you can catch that Pokemon. It is weird but it works!😃
She sounds like freaking Amy pond
Yay for kissograms from Amy Pond!
+Simon Cornelius P Umacob You are totally right
Amy WHO??
+Ash Ketchum Amy Pond
+Simon Cornelius P Umacob
*whoooooosh*
Bruh. Nobody knows about this tip, but if you click the pokemon you want to find, then click the compass, it should point in the direction of the pokemon nearby. Refreshing the app several times should increase gps accuracy.
Holy crap this is so good to know!
Uhh tapping the compass just points you towards north and if you tap it again it points you in the direction your character is facing.
actually, I tested it and if the compass points "north" try rotate your phone, and if the point of view changes, then you must re do the steps above^ and some point your point of view wil stop changing.
"XP points"?
So... experience points points?
"Name your Eevee's" doesn't need an apostrophe, either. Did anyone proofread this crap?
Somebody's triggered
"Eevee" is also spelt wrong in that sentence.
One of my favorite tips is to save up as many candies as you can, particularly Weedle, Caterpie, and Pidgey candies, since those pokemon only require 12 candies to level up. Once you've collected enough candies for at least 30+ evolutions (some people go as high as 60+) and a Lucky Egg, use the egg and start evolving them as fast as possible. Each evolution with the Lucky Egg active will give you 1,000 exp, and at lower levels, it means you'll go up 3+ levels in under 30 minutes depending on how many evolutions you did.
People who throw pokeballs with their thumbs cant be trusted
The yellow flash around the side of the screens is the dodge indicator. Don't wait for the attack to start, just wait until you see the yellow flash. Try to time your attacks to avoid attacking in the middle of a yellow indicator so you can dodge.
If you see the pokemon you're fighting stop attacking for a brief moment, resist the temptation to get in extra hits. Wait the extra second because it's charging up it's super attack which will likely do massive damage, even if you're of the opposing type. Wait until you see the yellow, then dodge to minimize the damage received.
also that one hp glitch on that gym part
RIGHT!?
So dumb I hate it every time its fucking unfair.
Still think the 3 step glitch is the worst, lost a lot of good Pokemon for that
+HercuLex pokevision.com , you're welcome
Jalen Tom oh please stop with that poke vision nonsense, just fix the damn glitches!
1. you can also zoom by double tapping one finger and then swipe up or down. 2. curve balls can be thrown more accurately if you swipe your finger towards the three arrows on side of screen (the arrows don't always show up). 3. extra exp. during a throw is achieved by bull's-eye and the size of the ring determines nice throw, great throw, or excellent throw.
This helped me more then I expected
really? this was extremely basic information in my opinion. I found all of this out the day the game came out except some of the gym stuff
+dave longsdorf Good for you. Still, the fact that there isn't any tutorial or guide built in-game, there are many stuff that people will learn about the game from others. That's pretty much how life works, too.
+dave longsdorf
I did figure out a lot of this stuff on my own but not everyone does, making this a pretty helpful video. Especially for new players.
+MrAnimeHelp I think that was done on purpose in order for the players to interact with eachother and figure out the game together.
+Diana Todorowa yes.
You must type: "Pyro", "Rainer" or "Sparky" for Eevee, it won't work, if you type: "sparky", "rainer" or "pyro". Just tip.
you also must close out the game after you rename it
not always. I've done it w/o re-opening the app
+Michael Neese most of the time but not always
+Michael Neese lol no you dont
I;ve had it work 9x without closing the app. It's just a safety precaution in case what you see on your phone and what is on the server aren't in sync.
"Name your Evees"
You missed the biggest actual hidden mechanic: IVs. They are in this game, too, which means higher CP isn't necessarily better; higher CP could simply mean the Pokémon is at a higher level - another actual hidden mechanic.
Generally, you want to keep the Pokémon with the highest HP and CP at the same "upgrade" cost, because you can have, say, a 50 HP/150 CP Zubat with a 1000 cost, and a 51 HP/151 CP Zubat with a 1300 cost, and the one with the lower cost will have significantly better IVs. (It was an exaggerated example, but you should know what I mean.)
The 'download map" thing has been debunked by google employees.... -.-'
please do a bit more research before making more BS vids
"BS vids"? Cause that one fact that was accidentally presumed true, that turned out false, totally trashes the video huh? Have you never made a mistake in your life? Grow up kid.
Agreed with Ashton. Not to forget the fuckton of "if you miss a pokeball but touch the pokeball before it disappears, you'll get it back!" kind of info in older pokego videos
Ashton Engebretsen one? i count atleast 2 or 3 utter mistakes that they could've checked before releasing a *CLICKBAIT* video. and a bad one at that~
just saying, do NOT use power save feature. it is bugged at the moment so that when you turn the phone upside down, yes, the screen goes back like it supposed to but when you pick it back upright, the screen comes on but you can't rotate it or even tap it, it stops recognising touch. so you won't be able to catch the Pokemon you see. this is the case for every android I've seen, might be different with apple os
so you guys are saying that downloading an offline map from Google maps doesn't improve anything for Pokemon go?
according to Google....and multiple videos online.......it does not make any difference......except that it takes up more memory
What T_On3 YaBoi Phimma said.
+Kio Kurashi Your comment was incredibly relevant. Thank you for your services.
It would help people a lot more if u mention evolving pokemon gives a specific multiplier number.
Ex: growlithe cp 100 evolving to an arcanine had a 2.35x, so 100x2.35 =235 is the end result of ur arcanine.
Eevee*
to add to the zoom in and out tip: you can double tap and hold and then move your finger up or down. In other words, one finger zoom as opposed to pinch and spread.
Why is type matchup a hidden mechanic?
Because it doesn't tell you
Its a hidden mechanic on GO for noobs who don't know type match ups. It someone never played a pokemon game before or didn't know of the slight shifts over the years they wouldn't know what Poison or Dragon types are weak against. More specifically it wasn't explain in the app so that earns it the title "hidden" mechanic.
It is for the people who never played pokemon before.
What these guys said, not to mention some of the type matchups might not be obvious for people not familiar with Gen 6 typing. (this game uses a modified gen 6 model)
wow the DLing map locations what something i never knew about! video was worth a watch just for that!
how are these hidden? these are day 1 basics of being a pokemon master!
No not really. Half of these things aren't even mentioned...like at all.
+MetalGreek if you actually watched the show as a kid then you would know. ashe always threw his pokrballs in a curve, and in the gameboy game it was always better tp level up your pokemon before actually evolving. so you can lesrn different moves.
pokemon master since 87`!
This is mostly mentioned in the help center in the settings, but the Eevee evolution fact was actually pretty cool.
Your Eeveelutions are weak AF.
Are mines weak to?
TOO*!
+duma zuma
Toooo?
+duma zuma too* its the end of a sentence and the the "O" are not captial.
+Keith Burns, your comma usage could use some work.
Turning Off AR makes the catches easier, saves battery and you can play on the bus, train or back seat on a car (don't drive and play please).
You can zoom in and out by double tapping the screen and holding on the second tap.
Using the power saving feature on some phones can also save battery.
"xp points" *facepalm*
walk away from the starter pokemon three times in order to get a pikachu
Name your evees lol wow.
2:16
Until you have a few of each then the name trick stops working
Thank god I wasn't the only one who noticed that 😂
evee's
this video made me so mad because she's so stupid and these facts are common sense besides like 2
If u tap an area on the map and then quickly tap and hold another area, you can drag in and out to perform the zoom in and zoom out action. Saves you using two hands and you can just use ur thumb
does anyones game freeze when they catch a pokemon?
Sometimes happens to me and I have to restart the app, then check my journal to see if i caught it. But it doesnt happen SO often that I'm raging left and right.
they need to fix that, i cant even play it
you must be New
you must be New
you must be New
You can also, with your teammates, attack a rival gym together. You'll see the other Pokemon as you duke it out with the Pokemon in the gym
Omg she sounds like the narrator off Embarrassing Bodies
omfg yh
Turning AR mode off makes it so the Pokemon doesn't move left and right
Rapidly flicking your finger up at the start of a catch makes the Pokemon appear right at your face then once it zooms out you instantly hit it with a ball (good way to get those nice, great, and excellent throws)
You can also zoom in and out using just your thumb instead of pinching
for better one handed operation
tap the screen once on an "open" area (where there are no obstacles such as stops or gyms)
immediatley tap and hold
scroll up to zoom out
scroll down to zoom in
Spinning your pokeball before throwing it also increases your odds of catching time it with the ring and you can get just about anything on the first try with a great ball
TIP: Say you're in the car and playing Pokemon Go (not driving) you can get multiple pokestops, when you bring up the the stop and the spin the coin...once all the items pop up hit the little X on the bottom and you will collect all items at once.
tip 1. avoid 70 cp Pidgey and Ratatat because it is considerably harder to catch these Pokemon at that level for some reason, tip 2. when facing a high level pokemon it automatically thows a curve ball just to be safe throw curve balls, tip 3. taping the screen when facing a Pokemon will drop the Pokeball, tip 4 its almost impossible to track pokemon so just head for gyms and stops, you'll find pokemon on the way,
tip 5 since it is summer you should bring water bottles(mine is a 1.5 liter bottle witch i tack to my local McDonalds and ask if i can fill it up with water and ice,
tip 6 keep calm and catch on
Can confirm that the Eevee naming thing isn't 100% true - my sister has named two Eevee's 'Pyro' and both evolved into Vaporeons. The move also had no effect either. It's just a 33.33% chance thing that a lot of people have somehow been lucky with.
A couple things I've noticed while playing:
When I evolve caterpie with any cp... Like cp112 or whatever, the metapod it evolves to always has a cp around 50 or so.
Also, evolving actually costs one candy less than what it requires. For example, pidgey costs 12 to evolve. If I have exactly 12 candies, I'll still have 1 left over after the evolution.
is not that it cost one less candy, instead you get one candy for every evolution.
So you still need 12 candies to evolve a pidgey but after it evolves it will reward you 1 candy, plus the XP points for evolving it.
I hope this helps
You can also zoom by touching the screen once getting that blue spot on the map and then holding your finger on the screen and moving up or down. Good for one handed use
The Eevee name works once per evolution. You can't evolve a Sparky into a Jolteon more than once.
yes you can, you just need to change Sparky's name to something else than rename your next eevee sparky.
what Mike said... you can do it more than once, but you can only have it work with one name at a time- so after you do it once, rename to something else before renaming a new Eevee to Sparky/Rainer/Pyro
+Mike Dye I tried it. didn't work.
+Mike Dye i had only one named sparky and it evolved into vaporeon.
+Magicarpmaster did you restart your app
Once you have a Pokemon in a gym if you click on the shop button in the top right corner will be a gym defender button only active every 20 hrs after use better to have more than one Pokemon. In a gym 1 Pokemon gives you 10 coins and 100 stardust
As far as holding gyms and pokecoins, far as I've been able to tell it only matters once every 21 hours when it's time to collect, then you only need to ensure you keep the gym long enough to cash in. But I've never been able to hold a gym longer than an hour, so feel free to enlighten me if maintaining control gives bonus coins beyond the once every 21 hours.
"Hidden Mechanics" must nowadays mean obvious advice.
Best battery life tip ever:
- Don't walk in the sun, and make your screen brightness as low as possible so u can still see.
- Don't use the AR
Done
As far as renaming Eevee's go for evolving them, I renamed an Eevee "Sparky" at least 24 hours before evolving it, closing and reopening the app several times, so can be pretty sure it's been saved on the server and it still evolved into a Flareon. Didn't so much log out as just closed the app like normal, so don't know if that makes a difference.
The higher your trainer level, the stronger the pokemon that appears. So you need to level up to like 10 to 15 , to catch stronger pokemons, there are also hidden ratings on your attk/def/hp called IV, it scales based on your trainer level (check the silph road), a strong iv has roughly10-20% higher stats. Another strong determinant of your pokemon is his special abilities which gets bonuses from (STAB normal special attacks with a normal pokemon, water special attacks with a water pokemon) and special skills has a dps rating. If you're lazy in getting stab or evolving till you get a superior special skill, just use normal move psycho cut (Kadabra and Alakhazam) coz it's dps is superb for a normal move.
I wonder how the narrator looks like 😍
I love your accent. I also learned a few new things from the guide. Thank you.
It's pretty well known to save up your Pokemon to evolve a bunch with a lucky egg activated. However I favorite the ones I plan to evolve when there's enough candies to evolve them, this way I can easily count how many are ready to be evolved and can sort my Pokemon so my favorite are at the top so I don't have to go looking for them.
Put on your lucky egg when evolving your Pokémon or battling gyms, will give you double the EXP which helps you level faster. If you have a bicycle and your as lazy as me, just, drive around :) Way faster and better then just walking. Max 15 km/u! Also, put out the AR-view when you are in certain area's or are trying to catch flying type Pokémon, will make it easier because the background will turn normal game like instead of the stuff behind your camera.
That's the tips I've picked up in the past few days.
What you don't mention is that Vaporeon is weighted in CP much higher than Flareon and Jolteon while having better attacks. Why does water gun get a 10 but thundershock and ember are 5s? Also the better move set a pre-evolution pokemon has the worse an evolved version will have. IE a Pidgeotto with wing attack will get steel wing as pidgeot and the opposite is also true.
Its because Jolteon has a better typing as of now. If you look at the amount of certain types in just gen 1, there are less pokemon that are super effective against electric compared to water and fire. Vaporeon has weaknesses out of its ass, and Fareon isn't that much different, but if you look Jolteon doesn't have a weakness to the other eeveelutions so there is no reason to make its cp just as high making it easily topple others.
yah but from what I've done the uhm jolteon 1200 that I have that evolved from a stronger eevee then my 1500 vaporeon is beating all these water fire type mixes easily.
making the circle smaller while catching a pokemon does make a better catch, but only if your pokeball is within the circle
you can regain a pokeball that is thrown to catch a pokemon if you miss and see it rolling away, you tap on it quick before it disappears and it goes back into your inventory.
myth
That was a myth that was debunked. If you look at the number of balls you have it keeps going down regardless.
"NAME YOUR EVEE'S"
1. This only works once.
2. You showed its name in the video and still spelled its name wrong.
Also, max level is 40. Wild pokemon's CP maxes at level 30. You get Great Balls at 12 and Ultra Balls at 20. If you want to get lots of exp, get hundreds of candies for Caterpie, Weedle and Pidgey, catch a few dozen of them, use a Lucky Egg, then go on an evolving spree (*don't* evolve the Metapods, Kakunas or Pidgeottos).
Pokemon are attracted to trainers. the more trainers in an area, the greater the number of pokemon. If you, as a trainer, occupy an area devoid of pokemon for a turn of the clock, day to night, night to day, some will start to appear at the next turn.
You can close out of a PokeStop after you've received your items rather than popping all the bubbles to collect all the items.
XP points...
XP stands for experience points
im an old school gamer and i knew almost all of these games through playing go and learning as i "GO" ;), Also Catch every Pidgey, caterpie and Weedle as you can for lucky eggs, they are the cheapest to evolve and easy to find, also you can gain A TON of xp if you do this early on, ive seen someone go to 8-15 in a half hour because he just caught every pidgey, caterpie and weedle he could. It sounds like a lot but if your just starting out justr catch every one of those pokemon till you hit lvl 10+ then use the egg and go nuts with evolving all your pokemon, then you can use a random egg on other things like catch new pokemon that you havent caught or catch as much pokemon as you can in that half hour, you can GO to lvl 20 in a week if you do that trick.
Also look up pokemon go nests in your area, you might get lucky and find great nests of pokemon in your area
I actually tested the naming theory several times and ended up with a few jolteons and flareon named ranier. apparently the naming theory only works if you don't already have that evolution in your pokedex
fun fact: the reason battery saver turns on when you turn your phone upside down is because when you put your phone in your pocket it's most likely down
um, one quick tip to make friends is to stand in the middle of a highly populated area and/or park and scream out "Dragonite" or "Snorlax". Once you do that, you'll have friends in no time. Just make sure that when you do this to be wearing heavy suits like, football pads, bullet proof vest, full body armor. you know what, wear all three. that is a quick and easy tutorial on how to make friends, now go make some friends
All of this are good tips for starter players, except for the Eevee evolution, since version 1.0.3 you are not longer able to choose what Pokemon Eevee will evolve into just by naming it.
The Google Maps tip was one I never heard before and am definitely gonna put to use!
A pokemom has a weakness a strength. "hidden fact"
