Hey guys, so in today's episode, I'm going to share with you guys a few tips of high-level
-
Pokémon Go players, and a few mistakes that were made all across the bord. So in this way,
-
you start your Pokémon Go journey the right way.
-
So the very first thing is: Pokémon Go has no built-in chat. There is a secondary app that
-
you can download called Pokémon Go Chat, and it is available on Android, and it will be
-
available on iOS by Thursday. So guys, make sure you download this app; it's going to help
-
you guys a lot through your Pokémon Go journey.
-
Now let's say you've just started your Pokémon Go journey and you've just logged into the
-
game. You will see your first three starters as you login. Now, here's the first mistake
-
most people make: If you do not see all three of them, do not catch any. If you want to
-
choose your starter, you have to walk around a little bit, until you find the one you
-
actually want. Guys, if you do catch any of the starters, all other two will disappear,
-
but either way, the starter is not something you have to worry about. Because it would
-
soon be useless. Trust me, guys, I will talk more about this later on the video.
-
Okay, so if you had a chance to actually earn some Pokémon Coins or actually spend some
-
money on the game, I would advise you, right now, to just buy a few lucky eggs. Even
-
though Incense and Lure Patch will also help you on your journey, Lucky Eggs are the most
-
important items as you start your Pokémon Go. So here's an example on why you should use a
-
Lucky Egg at the beginning of your journey. Every new Pokémon you catch that you did not
-
have on your Pokédex will get you a 500 XP bonus. If you had your Lucky Egg with you, that
-
would be 1000. So guys, just by having a Lucky Egg, you're getting 500 extra XP. That
-
does not sound like much, but it is, guys. XP is very hard to come by, for an example, for
-
beating a Pokémon Gym, wasting items, and the health of your Pokémon, you only earn 100
-
XP. So that's how you can see how important a Lucky Egg is at the beginning of the game.
-
Another very important thing is really throwing the ball well. And I do have a tutorial,
-
that is down by the description, on how you can earn excellent throws, great throws, nice
-
throws, curved throws, and how that works. If you want to check that out, it will be down
-
by the description.
-
Okay, so whether you have Lucky Eggs or not, you are going to your first Poké Stop. At
-
Poké Stops, you'll be able to find Poké Balls, Revives, Potions, and even Pokémon Eggs.
-
Now, if you didn't know, Poké Stops have a cooldown of around 5 minutes. So a good way is
-
to plan ahead. Guys, find a Poké Stop that has a nearby Poké Stop of 5 minutes walk or
-
less. This way, you can keep switching from one Poké Stop to the other, and earning items
-
every 5 minutes. Now, if you did have a bit of money invested in the game, you could use a
-
Lure Patch in any of the Poké Stops, and it will draw Pokémon to you, and this way you
-
won't have to walk at all. But it kind of loses the purpose of the game. I still like the
-
walking better, and you can catch just about the same amount of Pokémon if you're walking,
-
as if you were using Lure Patch. But, as you can see from the image, by using a
-
combination of Incense and Lure Patch, it's possible to have many Pokémon all around you.
-
As you can see by this picture, this guy has 10 Pokémon all around him for him to catch.
-
If he didn't spend any money on Poké Balls, he could run out of Poké Balls really quickly,
-
so it is important to visit different Poké Stops and get more items.
-
Now let's go back to your starter and weaker Pokémon. Now guys, even though you might be
-
tempted to waste Candies and Stardust on those weak Pokémon, please don't, because soon
-
enough, you'll start finding randomly high CP Pokémon of the last evolution. And for
-
those Pokémon, you definitely will need more Stardust and more Candies. It is a common
-
mistake made by a lot of players: You spend your Candies trying to evolve Pokémon that
-
you're not going to use, and then when you have the final evolution of the Pokémon, you do
-
not have any more Candies, or even Stardust, to level up. So guys, save all your items.
-
Do not spend anything.
-
So the last thing I've left for this video is: Avoid Gyms at all costs. Gyms will be very
-
expensive at the beginning. If you try to battle enemy Gyms, you will waste Potions on
-
weak Pokémon, you will waste Revives, and you will need those items later. So my advice
-
here is: Try to go as fast as you can to find Gyms that are not taken over, the gray
-
Gyms. Place a weak Pokémon there, or find Gyms that are all by your own team, and place
-
your Pokémon there. You do not need to have the highest CP Pokémon at that Gym in order to
-
earn the defender bonus. As long as you have one Pokémon there, you will still earn it.
-
So find said Gyms; do not, do not, do not place your strongest Pokémon, guys. A lot of
-
other Beta testers made this mistake. You do not want to place your strongest Pokémon,
-
because you will need it to battle later.
-
So as we've seen an announcement made by John Hanke today, it is very important to team up
-
with friends. So gather your friends, team up, in order to beat a Gym. Don't try to be the
-
solo hero, because you will waste more than you will gain. So the main focus of the game
-
is: Team up.
-
So I hope you enjoyed these tips. There are other tips in a previous video, that will
-
also be on the description, on how you can level up really fast in Pokémon Go, and,
-
obviously, how to throw effectively in Pokémon Go. So, for now, guys, please subscribe,
-
stay tuned for more tutorials, and daily gameplays once the game is released. I thank you
-
all, and train on.
