jumping into the world of Pokemon go here's what you need to know to get
started
that's you at the bottom
the map is all around you and it's based on the real world
if you walk around in the real world will also walk around in the game
the circle around you is your search area and those leaves rustling are
hidden pokemon any Pokemon located inside that circle are within your grass
when you see a Pokemon tap it then you're in capture mode capture a Pokemon
by hitting it with a Pokeball put your finger on the ball and flick upward to
throw if you hit the white circle around a Pokemon you might capture it
if you hit inside the colored circle you can score bonus points
sometimes a Pokemon will escape from your pokéball but no worries just hit
them with more pokeballs and eventually you'll make the capture when you capture
a new pokemon it will be registered in your pokedex check there any time to see
how many types of pokemon you still need to hunt
tap the white bar on the lower right corner to see all the pokemon nearby the
number of footprints indicates their distance from you and the more
footprints you see the further away it is dropping incense attract pokemon to
your location and last 30 minutes but a better way to draw them out is with
lower modules
those must be attached to focus tops parking stops are indicated by blue map
markers
they're usually attached to local landmarks when you're close enough tap
the circle to zoom in
spin it with your finger and the pokey stock will spit out supplies like new
pokeballs potions and other power-ups a good strategy is to stay in a place that
has many nearby pokey stops salem massachusetts for instance is loaded
with historical landmarks
if you tap enough pokey stops you might find a Pokemon egg
these need to incubate before they hatch each incubator hold one egg at a time
you always have one unlimited use incubator but you can acquire additional
limited usefulness
Pokemon eggs only incubate when you're walking so keep up that hustle
poke you stopped raining pink hearts has an active lure module more modules
attract more pokemon to that poky stop so in a popular area you may find many
lower modules running at once that beans
pokemon bonanza once you've captured some pokemon you want to train them to
fight
tap the pokeball at the bottom of the main screen then tap pokemon to see
everything you captured tapping a specific pokemon shows its stats see P
stands for combat points basically how strong my pokemon is every Pokemon has a
week attack and a strong attack with different damage the bar next to the
strong attack shows how much time it takes to charge before it can be used in
battle you want pokemon that have high CP and powerful attacks and the best way
to do this is to involve your pokemon and then power them up making Pokemon
more powerful requires candy and each type of Pokemon has a preference you
earn pokemon specific candy whenever you capture a Pokemon of that type
you can also earn candy by transferring Pokemon - professor willow you can
easily cash in your duplicate pokemon by scrolling through the master list always
transfer the ones with the lowest CP first when you have enough candy the
evolved button becomes active
try involving multiple pokemon simultaneously and then checking the
status of each one
they're not always equal five different pg's will not turn into the same five
Pidgeotto toes
one of them might have higher CP and stronger attacks keep the best one and
transfer the rest for more candy evolving pokemon generates a lot of
experience which allows you to level up one item you can earn from leveling up
is a lucky addict
it doubles your experience points for 30 minutes
so a great strategy is to save your evolutions until you have a lucky egg
then evolve them all at once from a ton of extra experience . the power of
option uses Stardust which you learn when capturing any kind of Pokemon it
also uses a very small amount of candy
the ark above your Pokemon represents how powerful it can become every time
you use the power of ability the white . moves a little further to the right and
add CP
it's best to wait until after you've evolved a Pokemon to power it up
this ensures you don't waste precious Stardust on one that is randomly
underpowered
now you're ready to fight for your team Pokemon gems are easy to find a tower
over everything else they will always be color-coded yellow blue or red to
indicate which team owns it
once you're close enough tap the gym to see its level and which Pokemon are
guarding it
you'll have to defeat them all if you want to take control if the gym is
already controlled by your team you can donate a Pokemon to help defend it
you won't be able to use that Pokemon in battles while it's on guard duty but the
more battles your team wins at the gym
the higher its level rises and the more pokemon can guard it before you battle
make sure your best pokemon are healthy oceans and revives the heal them and
both are located in your items back potions and super potions restore hit
points
select the potion and then tap the pokemon you want to heal provides bring
back pokemon that were defeated in battle
once your pokemon are revived and healed it's time to arrange your battle order a
default grid of six pokemon show up but you can tap any spot to mix things up
when you attack a gym you'll be fighting all the pokemon defending it
so plan wisely when you're ready for battle tap the Go button
your first attacker will face the gyms first defender your health and attack
meter are in the upper left when a Pokemon loses all its healthy it's
removed from battle and the next one on deck steps in fighting in pokemon go is
fairly simple tap the enemy quickly to launch your weak attacks as you land
weak attacks your strong attack will charge up the strong attack meter is
right below your health bar when it's full tap and hold the enemy to unleash
your strong attack
you can also dodge left and right to avoid attacks this is very tricky and
it's not always effective the game lads
it's easiest to dodge when you're facing a slow-moving range attack that you can
anticipate you can run from a fight by tapping the retreat button and the
double arrow lets you change the order of your fighting pokemon on the fly
advanced players can use this to take advantage of weaknesses in their
opponents lineup
we hope this helps you get started on your Pokemon go adventures and if we
missed anything or you'd like to learn more advanced strategies in a future
