🎮 How to Play

Pokémon GO progression comes from efficient catches, inventory discipline and choosing where limited resources matter. Catch broadly for Stardust and Candy, appraise before investing, keep storage organised, and prepare counters and a safe real-world route before events or raids.

🎯 Tips & Strategy

  1. Play only where it is safe and permitted; never follow the screen across traffic or restricted areas.
  2. Use search filters and tags to organise trade, raid, PvP and transfer candidates.
  3. Save premium resources until the event, raid or upgrade has a clear purpose.
  4. Check official event times and bonuses because schedules differ by region and change frequently.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I power up every high-CP Pokémon?

No. Species, moves, appraisal, intended league and resource cost all matter. Decide the role first, then invest.

What should a beginner keep?

Keep useful raid counters, limited or rare catches, strong appraisal candidates and anything reserved for a trade; transfer obvious duplicates after checking.
