"Pokemon Go" has sent the whole world into a Pokemon hunting frenzy. However, one must do the right things to get their Pokemon to get stronger. Here are 5 of the biggest questions for beginners:
1. How and where to catch Pokemon
"Pokemon Go" makes use of an entirely new system which would let a player roam around in searching for Pokemon. Niantic, the game's developer, has made exploring the whole point of "Pokemon Go" and has made the likeliness of catching Pokemon appropriate with its geographic area, says a post in Polygon.
For example, it is more likely to catch water Pokemon when near the beach or leaf type Pokemon when surrounded by vegetation. Once a Pokemon appears on the map, tap on it then the screen will change. Flick the Pokeball towards the Pokemon until it is caught, and there you have it.
2. What is a Pokestop?
Pokestops are notable locations in the vicinity. These include murals, statues, and other landmarks. Once the player is close enough to a Pokestop, he can get in game items like Pokeballs, revive, and sometimes eggs. The only things to be done is to tap on the Pokestop and spin the picture of the landmark used.
3. How to make Pokemon stronger
Pokemon get stronger as they level up. This can be done by battling it out in gyms or by powering up with stardust, says a post in The Bit Bag. However, it is also advised that one should not be too trigger happy in powering up with stardust, especially with Pokemon that are caught early in the game. One should wait until he is level 20, with Pokemon that are fully evolved with high CP and IV until stardust can be used.
4. What are gym battles?
Once a player reaches level 5, he can head to the nearest Pokemon gym, conquer it, and be proclaimed gym leader. Battles are done by tapping on the monster and swiping left and right to avoid attacks. This is one of the best ways to power up Pokemon.
5. What are some items that can help?
