Things to Do First
Last Edit: 2 months 3 days ago
Want tips and tricks for Pokemon Go? Find out the very first things you should do to succeed in the newest catch-em-all adventure! Read on to find
the absolute best tips for Pokemon Go.
Check in at PokeStops!
Look around on your map for the blue icons that denote Pokestops.
These blue icons are often landmarks, sculptures, noteworthy buildings and more, and getting close to and swiping the image that appears in the
circle will score you free items like Poke Balls to catch Pokemon, Eggs to hatch Pokemon, and upon reaching level 5 - Potions and Revives to heal
your Pokemon from Gym Battles.

5 Things to Do First in Pokemon Go

01:55
Got feedback on our player?
We want to hear it.
To use the Pokestop, you must move your character near enough to activate it (there's a ring around your character that shows how close you are).
Once you have it activated, you must tap on the blue icon, then swipe to spin the blue disc that shows a picture of the spot on your screen. This
will release items. You can either tap to collect them, or simply exit the Pokestop and they will be collected anyways.

8 Things Pokemon Go Doesn't Tell You

04:16
We want to hear it.
Note that you must remain near the Pokestop to obtain the items, which can be difficult in moving vehicles!
Popular Places Equal More PokeStops

If you're in a pretty lonely area, consider taking a trip to a local park, mall, or other hotspot where you are likely to find more points of interest that will
in turn give you more free items.
Turn on Battery Saver

This may seem like an obvious one, but Pokemon Go is, at launch, quite the drain on your phone's battery.
Some light searching in the tall grass of your surroundings should be fine on a half-charged phone, but for long expeditions along local routes, be sure
to go out with a fully charged phone and maybe even bring an external charger along in case things go bad while catching a Pokemon.
The app also includes a "Battery Saver" option in its Settings menu, which darkens and minimizes the game when the phone is upside down
(preferably in one's pocket) but still tracks and alerts when Pokemon or PokeStops are encountered.
UPDATE: As of the July 31st update, most devices no longer have the Battery Saver option in the settings, and it is unknown if this feature will return
10/12/2016 5:06 PM

in a later update.
Personalize Your Pokemon

GO retains one of the main Pokemon games' most important options renaming your Pokemon.
Even after you capture a creature out in the wild, simply open up the "Pokemon" option in your menu, click on a particular one, and give it whichever
name you'd like. (And yes, at launch, you can include curses in your Pokemon's name.)
Track Pokemon (and know your Pokemon Shapes)

Pokemon Go: Map Trick for Catching New Pokemon

01:40
We want to hear it.
UPDATE: As of the August 8th Update, the footprint indicators have been replaced in the game.
Pokemon Go will give players an idea of the Pokemon in the nearby area with icons appearing the bottom right-hand corner of the app. They remain
shrouded in shadow when you haven't yet caught that type. The mystery keeps things fun and resembles the unknown of wandering around in the
original Pokemon games but having an idea of which Pokemon are available to you could make all the difference as as you collect and train to be
the very best like no one ever was.
Now, instead of footprints, you'll probably see "Sightings" unless you're part of the small subset of users who are testing out the brand-new "Nearby"
feature.
Under Sightings, you'll see images of Pokemon with tufts of grass behind them, indicating that they are somewhere in the wild but not directly next to a
PokeStop.
The Nearby feature shows Pokemon with images behind them, indicating the PokeStop they are nearby. Tap the Pokemon you want to track, and you
will see the precise location you need to travel to in order to find it!
This feature is only being tested right now, but hopefully will be rolled out to everyone in the near future.
Transfer Your Doubles

When you catch Pokemon, you have the option to transfer them to Professor Willow. Doing so will get you Pokemon Candy for the Pokemon you
transfered, which you can then collect to eventually evolve that Pokemon, or power up their Combat Points. Click on the Pokemon button, then
click on a Pokemon and scroll all the way down, past the small map that shows you where your Pokemon was caught. Here you can touch the
Transfer button and confirm you want to actually get rid of the selected Pokemon.
However, before you transfer a double (or triple) to the professor, analyze the Pokemon's stats and compare it to the other Pokemon of the same kind
10/12/2016 5:06 PM

that you already have. Which has a higher CP? What attacks does each have? Which weighs more? Figure out those, then transfer the weaker of the
two.

instead of activating low power mode, you could just easily pull a giant electric generator behind you....

Also of note about the tracker list:
The three rows shown are also organized by distance: The bottom row of pokemon is the furthest away, the middle row is closer, and the top row is the
closest. This makes it easier to figure out if you're going the right way to catch something.
