We have already seen how to play Pokemon Go on iPhone and Android, the augmented reality game set in the real world, where you really have to move on foot to find the adorable little beasts to evolve to challenge other players in combat. After understanding the basics, it's time to get good and discover all the tricks to find and catch Pokemon and to level up and overcome others in prestige and fame, setting up a competitive Pokemon team in challenges.
Pokemon Go, in fact, contrary to what it seems, is not a simple game at all; if you do not want to waste time in research and if you do not want to pay to buy the Pokeballs that are used to catch Pokemon, you must know how to move and know the hidden tricks of this game, which is set in the real world and has the world as a map whole .
1) How to find Pikachu immediately as the first Pokemon
At the beginning of the adventure you must choose the first Pokémon to be captured from Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle.
However, you can also find Pikachu, the electric Pokemon protagonist of the cartoon, with a "simple", though tiring trick.
Although according to some people Pikachu can be found by walking away from the first three that await us and then returning to them several times, it is sure that Pikachi can be found by walking forward until he appears on the screen.
If you really want to have Pikachu, you may need to walk for 20 to 30 minutes with your cell phone.
2) Walk to find Pokemon
In Pokemon Go you have to walk or run on foot and you cannot play at home while standing still.
Pokemon Go does not use the accelerometer or even the gyroscope, but only the GPS detecting the real position of a person.
When the smartphone vibrates, there is a Pokemon ready to be caught.

3) Pay attention to the fingerprints to find the Pokemon
Tapping the button in the lower right corner of the screen opens the " Nearby " window to see which Pokémon are nearby.
In this list you can count the footprints under each Pokémon that tell us how far it is from our position.
One footprint means that there is a Pokémon very close, two that is further away while if there are three footprints it means that it is out of reach and you will have to walk or run further to find it.
Then touch a Pokemon and walk to reach it keeping an eye on the screen to verify that the footprints do not increase.
If the footprints increase as you walk, you have to go back and try in another direction.
Checking these footprints makes it much easier to catch new types of Pokémon.
NOTE: Some Pokemon are rare and can only be found after a certain level of experience or going to particular places.
In some cases, catching rare Pokemon requires the use of enhanced Pokeballs such as MegaBalls and Ultraballs.
4) Find Aroma to attract Pokemon and make them appear in front of us
There are some items that can be collected in the game, in Pokestops.
The most useful one is Aroma, with which you can attract wild Pokémon to our location for 30 minutes.
The only problem is that you have to leave the application open all the time because the timer goes on even if you close the game.
To use Aroma, since there are two free at the start of the game, touch the ball in the center of the screen and then go to the Tools.
Trick : The best time to use Aroma is when there are a lot of Pokemon nearby and together with Fortunuovo faster evolutions are obtained.
5) How to pull the PokeBall to catch the Pokemon
Before trying to catch a Pokemon, look at the circles around the Pokemon when it appears on the screen and the distance.
When you meet a Pokemon and it appears on the screen, you don't have to throw the ball at random, but look at the circle surrounding the Pokemon that becomes smaller and smaller when you hold down on the ball.
To catch the Pokemon you have to pull the PokéBall when the rings are smaller.
While making betting is more difficult, the Pokemon is less likely to dodge the ball.
Before throwing the ball at the Pokemon, also check the number at the bottom right of the display to know how far it is and how strong you need to throw the Pokeball.
The color of the circle around the Pokemon tells us how easy it is to catch that Pokemon: very easy if it is green, less if it is yellow and difficult if it is red.
Trick : to shoot better, disable AR by tapping the switch on the top right.
Trick a : Catching a Pokémon is not too difficult, as mentioned, you just have to swipe up with your finger to pull the Poké Ball (and pray the application does not crash).
You can get more experience points by turning the ball before the shot (touch and hold it and then nadare left and right quickly without taking off).
However, this trick does not increase the probability of success in the capture and, on the contrary, the shot is less easy to control.
6) Ask other players where they found the Pokemon, especially the rare ones
Pokemon is a social game and collaboration between players works to find places to catch Pokemon.
To find out where a Pokemon was found tap the red ball at the bottom of the screen, tap on " Pokemon ", tap one of the captured beasts and tab then scroll the tab down to find the map where it was found.
7) Find the Pokestops
Pokestop stations are places where you can find items like L'Aroma, such as Eggs or other things.
Pokestops are shown on the map and should be visible in the distance and are always specific points of interest such as shopping centers, parks or famous restaurants and monuments.
To reach them you will have to walk until we have arrived and you can open touch to see what objects are inside.
8) Enhance and evolve Pokemon
As you can see later, the Pokemon do not improve and do not evolve with the fighting, but only by paying with the candies that can also be collected in the game by capturing other Pokemon or in the Pokestops.
Basically, to evolve a certain Pokemon like Bulbasaur, you will have to catch other Bulbasaur until you reach the necessary candies.
An expert tip is to not spend candy to improve a Pokemon's strength before it has evolved to the maximum.
For Pokemon that evolve 2 times, 25 candies are needed first and then 100.
Pokemon that have three evolutions like Weedle, Caterpie and Pidgey need 12 and 50 candies for the 3 evolutions instead.
Pokemon with 1 evolution only need 50 candies, except Magikarp who wants 400 while Rattatta and Eevee only 25.
Keep in mind that Pokemon can be freed to earn candy.
The latter, Eevee has a particular evolution that changes according to the name given to it:
if it's called Rainer, the evolution will be in Vaporeon.
If it's called Sparky, it becomes Jolteon.
Renaming it to Pyro, it will be Flareon.
Trick : On the Pogotoolkit site there is a tool that allows you to know how far the Pokemon rises after an evolution.
9) The Eggs
In Pokestops you can find the Eggs that can hatch to become new Pokemon only by walking at least a kilometer or two away from where it was found.
One might think that this kilometer can be done by car, but in reality PokemonGO, thanks to GPS, knows how fast we go and the distance doesn't matter if we go faster than 20 km / h.
However, nothing prevents you from cycling, always without exceeding that speed limit.
MAKEUP: The Fortunuovo tool allows you to double the experience points gained for 30 minutes.
It is better then not to evolve the Pokemon until we have accumulated enough rare candies to make as many evolutions as possible and activate an aroma and Fortunuovo.
10) Find Gyms and face challenges and fights
After reaching level 5 you can enter the gyms that can be seen in various points on the map.
When you go to a gym (always walking physically), you will be able to meet some other players live who can be challenged.
If you find an empty gym, you can conquer it and place a Pokemon to defend it or even allow other players on the same team to put their defense Pokemon.
If, on the other hand, the gym is occupied, it can have one of three colors: yellow, blue or red, depending on the team that won it.
The teams to choose are, in fact, three and are that of Instinct, Wisdom and Strength.
If the gym is of a different theme from ours, it can be challenged, otherwise you can place our pokeom in defense which is also a way to earn coins.
You can also challenge a gym of our own team, for training, to level up and gain experience points and to increase the prestige of the gym.
The higher the prestige, the more pokemon can be placed as members of the gym to protect it.
In the case of fights with different team gyms, each of our victories decreases the prestige of that gym until it reaches 0 to conquer it.
Trick : Every 20 hours you earn as much money as Pokemon you have in gyms so it's a good idea to fill a gym every day before making purchases.
As for the fights, the dynamic is quite simple and repetitive, not really the best fun in my opinion.
To attack a gym, walk on foot until you reach it and then touch it to enter.
Up to 6 battle pokemon can be deployed and can be chosen or picked at random with the melee button.
Once you press the glove, you start fighting and there are three types of actions: the fast attack, the dodge and the special attack.
The special attack requires the Pokemon's special power bar to be fully charged.
When a Pokemon is hit, it loses health until it passes out.
Beaten Pokemon will be rehabilitated with Potions and Revitalizing found in the Tools menu.
11) Save battery while playing
Pokémon Go is an app that devours battery power more than any other app, also due to the use of GPS.
To save battery there are three important things to do.
First of all, turn on the battery saver option.
Touch the ball in the center and then, in the Pokemon Go menu, go to the settings to find the option.
In addition, it can consume less battery and also reduce the chances of the game crashing by turning off augmented reality when meeting a Pokemon.
The AR switch that turns off augmented reality is in the upper right corner of the screen when you see a Pokémon ready to be captured
Deactivating the AR is also a way to make Pokemon easier to catch as the pet remains in the center of the screen in this mode.
The third thing to do to save battery is to download a portion of the map of the area where you play.
To do this, download the map in Google Maps so that it is available offline.
Trick: You can also play Pokemon Go on an Android smartphone with the screen off to save battery, by installing the Battery Extender GO app.
12) Other tricks
As for other tricks to win Pokemon Go easy and level up I found several more or less advantageous attempts.
For example, you can play Pokemon GO from home on your PC using an emulator like NoxPlayer for Windows .
As a bisto it is also possible to falsify the GPS position on Android to try to find and catch Pokemon without walking and without leaving home.
On the Pokeassistant site there is a collection of useful tools for all the trainers, to do calculations on the evolutions and find out how each available Pokemon behaves.
Keep on....
