How many Pokémon in the game

Remember the sensational in the 90s Pocket Monsters: Red & Green, released by Nintendo? So this was the beginning of a whole series of games involving Japanese cartoon monsters. Then they were, no more, no less than 151. With the release of each new game, the number of Pokémon has increased, so today, according to Pokédex, we can count as many as 722 monsters. In the recently released Pokémon Go, not all Pokémon are involved, but the game is constantly being updated.

Can I give a name and personalize the coach?

Yes. Nickname your avatar can be written using Latin letters and numbers. But those who logged into the application through a Google account will not be able to choose a nickname: they'll have to play under a common name. In addition to choosing a name, you can personalize the characters with several shades of skin, hair color and clothes to choose from.

How to get your first Pokémon?

Easily. As soon as your coach receives a name, Professor Willow (director of the coaching school and chief Pokemon) will give you the opportunity to catch his Pokémon. Players are sent to an open card, which can take possession of Bulbazavr, Charmander or Squid. Pokemon appear from nowhere, you can get at your disposal only one.

If during the game you collected a lot of the same Pokemon, then do not hurry upset. For them you get bonuses - Candy (candies) and Stardust (stardust). And if they interfere with you, then at any time you can exchange them from the professor for some rewards.

In the lower right corner of the screen, the Pokémon are displayed, which are nearby. To determine the approximate distance to each of them, it is worth paying attention to the number of tracks under the picture. Many PokeMastera, during the game, found out that one track is about 40 meters. During the capture of the Pokémon, you can notice the circle around it. The color and size of the circle is of great importance for this process. So the smaller the circle, the more accurate the hit was. If the circle is green, the target is very unpretentious and will easily fall into your "network". Yellow color will mean some difficulty in catching, but the red says that such a Pokemon can not be caught at all.

In a missed situation, if the monster did not manage to leave the screen, you can quickly click on it, which will allow you to make a second roll and not spend an extra disc.

What would have turned a twisted throw is enough to hold pokeball, make a few circular movements with your finger and throw. For such a maneuver you will get extra points. With the increase in your level in the game, the chance to meet a stronger and rare monster increases.

By the way, the time of day of "hunting" plays a considerable role. For example, in the evening you can meet rare night Pokémon.

If during the game you collected a lot of the same Pokemon, then do not hurry upset. For them you get bonuses - Candy (candies) and Stardust (stardust). And if they interfere with you, then at any time you can exchange them from the professor for some rewards.

Can I rename the Pokémon?

Can. Either after the capture, or in the personal settings menu.

The game can begin with Pikachu (Pikachu)

At the very beginning the game offers to choose one of the three Pokemon - Charmander, Bulbazavr or Squirtle. However, few people know that there is a fourth secret choice - Pikachu (Pikachu). To get it, you just need to refuse to catch the proposed trinity. On the fourth battle, Pikachu will appear, and it will not be difficult to catch him.

What are Portals or PokeStop?

Poke Stops are a special location in the immediate vicinity of the player. Marked with a blue marker on the map. Finding a location is not difficult, but for those who travel a lot and try to find Pokémon around the world, they created a special map with Poke Stop marks. When you click on the marker, the application shows the player the image of a building, monument or park. On Poke Stop you can get useful items - pokeballs, malinks, things and even new Pokémon. Just click on the icon in the form of a cube, and then when it turns into a big circle, also click on it.

What is PokeDex?

In the original animated series, pokedeks - was a device that contains all the knowledge about Pokémon. The game also has a similar function that allows you to collect data about all types of Pokémon, their parameters. In addition, this device allows you to capture the number of captured and seen Pokémon. With its help you can find out if a new kind of Pokemon appeared near you, or it is already in your collection. In the pokedeks, all the Pokémon that are in the game at the moment, and those that you already have, are displayed as a list.

Heaven o o Eggs

Sometimes monsters can drop eggs, from which hatch strong and rare Pokémon. Dropped eggs must be placed in the incubator, which should be in your backpack, and then go through the distance indicated by the egg. But remember that only a walk is considered, trips in transport will not bring the desired result. Also, make sure that the game, during the walk should be activated.

What is CP (Combat Power)

In Pokemon GO, one of the main parameters that determine the power of Pokémon is CP or Combat Power. It is based on the average set of all characteristics of the Pokémon, such as height, life points, impact strength, size. Pokémon of the same species with the same CP value will cause a fixed amount of damage in PvP battles. Also, you can view the CP of your Pokemon by sorting by parameters in the directory. Try to leave in your collection only pets with the highest CP score. This will create a basic army of a couple of dozen powerful Pokémon.

Each creature card has a scale that demonstrates the CP limit for a particular Pokémon. It depends on your character level. After the scale is filled to the maximum, you can no longer increase its CP at this level, although you can improve the creature when the character is further pumped.

Types of Pokemon Go Pokemon Go

In the battles for the "Gym" take part whole teams of Pokémon in the number of 6 pieces. To win, you'll have to break your head over tactics and strategy, and in this best information will be information about the attacking and defensive abilities of Pokémon. You can see the information in the table below.

What Pokemon hatch from which eggs

New Pokémon can be obtained not only by hunting for them, but also by incubating from eggs. Eggs are sold inside the game. But they can also be obtained free of charge when visiting PokeStop. Eggs are hatching in a very specific way - depending on the length of the path you traveled. And it was the one passed. Too fast moving can be calculated as driving by car or public transport, which is not protected by the system. Depending on whether you passed 2, 5 or 10 km. You can get absolutely different Pokémon. See the figure below to figure out what's what. Pointing - the phone and the application at this time should be active.

Council. Since you can not use a car or public transport, you can ride a bike, roller skates, skate and other not fast devices. You will save your own strength, but in the game you will get better results.

How to make a Pokémon stronger?

Mainly with the help of objects. There are many items that improve the characteristics of the Pokémon. The evolution of Pokémon also requires the use of special items. The growth of experience and coaching level depends on the battles with the wild Pokémon.

Use different baits

Unlike the element "Ladan", elements of the class "Bait" not only affect the player who uses them, but also on who is in the area of ​​finding such elements. This effect is best for the original user, but if you are with your friends, or you see such a bait on the map of the display (an image in the form of confetti in Poke Stop), then use this element necessarily. Also be careful: some users use incense to attract other players to secluded places and then rob them. Our advice to you - use this element only in safe places.

Know Your Limits

Unfortunately, there is no full guarantee that you will be able to catch Pokémon, which ones you like, so do not waste Poke balls on creatures that are already strong enough. How do you know which Pokémon you can catch?

And it's easy - when you see a Pokémon, notice the color ring around it: the smaller its size, the easier it is to catch such a Pokémon. Plus, important is the color of the ring: if it is green, then the pokemon will be caught without difficulty. The yellow color means that the level of difficulty is increased, and the red color indicates that it will not be easy to catch the Pokémon.

Leaf wiggling is an important sign

Do you see these moving leaves on the map of your display? These are potential places where Pokémon can be. Keep in mind that there is no big guarantee that you will find there some Pokemon, but it's worth checking out.

How to quickly find a Pokemon nearby

You can see the nearby Pokémon by clicking on the white rectangular bar in the lower right corner of the screen. Then a window will appear showing where the Pokémon nearest you are. You can click on one of them, and they will be displayed in the white rectangle of the main screen (and if the pokemon has not yet been detected, then the silhouette will be displayed).

Do you want to find pokemon for sure? As you move toward the location of the Pokémon, you will see a rectangular flash flash around the white bar - this means that you are on the right track. Move on, and very soon you will find the Pokémon.

Also pay attention to the number of tracks next to the Pokémon icons. One such track means that the Pokémon is very close to your current location, and three tracks indicate that the Pokémon is quite far away from you.

Process of the game

Where can I find Clefairi, Pigeon, Horsie and so on?

The whole point of Pokemon Go lies in traveling and searching for Pokémon at different locations. In a small city, players will meet a lot of normal and grass Pokémon. Near water - water, which is logical. The game at night will give you the opportunity to catch the night Pokemon - Gustle and Clefairi.

Strengths and weaknesses of Pokémon

Types of Pokemon (Pokemon) are of great importance in the battles in which you use them. Their strengths and weaknesses can make one Pokemon completely useless or other that is necessary for victory. If you forget this information, look at this article to learn and remember about their strengths and weaknesses, and also get a general idea of ​​the types of Pokémon. Use these hints. This poem will help remember all the strengths and weaknesses of Pokemon, if you learn it. This poem corresponds to the truth for Pokemon X / Y:

• Ordinary attacks are common, no matter who you fight with.
• Grass, Ice, Insect, and Steel will burn in the bright light of Fire.
• Water, extinguishes Fire, Stone and even solid Earth.
• Those who Fly and those who Float are weak to Electricity.
• The flying ones peck at Grass and Insects, and defeat the Fighting.
• Grass, Mental and Darkness is the territory of Insects!
• The grass absorbs Water and breaks the Earth and the Stone.
• Fire, Ice, Flying, and Beetles are weak to the Stone.
• Ice freezes the Earth and Air, and snaps the Dragon Fangs.
• At a time when the Dragon is good for the Dragon, with magic, he can not cope.
• The fighters defeat the Ordinary, Ice, break the Stone, Darkness and Steel.
• Poison wins Magic, Grass and Beetles.
• References frighten the Mental, and sometimes, themselves.
• Steel breaks Magic, Ice and Stone.
• The earth shakes Electricity, Stone, Poison, Fire and Steel.
• Mental tend to Fight and Poison.
• Darkness scares the Mental and the Ghosts.
• Magic is good against the Fighting, Dragons and Darkness.

Easy way to sit eggs

To sit out an egg and get the cherished Pokemon, the player needs to overcome from 5 to 10 km. This question is easily solved by the vehicle - although it is worth noting that the game will not take kilometers if you move too fast, so the car or public transport is not an option. But the bike will be just right, so the next time you use it in the hunt for Pokemon.

New places and attractions

In Pokemon GO sights and various popular places turn into Pokestopy, where you can get pokeballs and other nishtyaki. Pokemon search leads players to a wide variety of places, and players often find themselves in places they've never been before, and get acquainted with sights that have never been heard of before.

How to track down a particular Pokémon

Opposite your avatar is a small strip of Pokémon. When you click on it, you will see a menu that shows which Pokémon are in the immediate vicinity of you. If there is not one among them, just continue the search elsewhere. Traces of the paws next to the Pokemon icon show how close he is to you - the more, the farther away.

How can I determine the level of a Pokémon

One of the main goals of the game is to make the Pokémon as strong as possible. The player needs to collect stellar dust and sweets that will allow the Pokémon to become stronger and even evolve. Its level can be easily calculated using a simple formula, which was derived by a single redditor. It is necessary to divide the current CP of the Pokemon into the CP, which it receives when upgrading. This simple solution will help the player to understand which Pokémon to focus on.

Chances to find a rare and stronger Pokemon grow

In the beginning, the player will only meet the basic Pokémon, like Pasidak, Caterpie and others. The secret is that the higher the player's level, the more rare and strong the Pokémon are to him. To meet them, you need to prepare and stock up a lot of pokeyballs, because that's just because these little monsters will not give up, and it will take several attempts before they can be caught.

As you know, different types of Pokémon are attached to their elements - for example, water is most often found near water. There is a suspicion that this formula also applies to rare species, so try to look for them in unusual places, always trying new, unexplored locations / buildings.

Also, many players say that often in places where you can find rare Pokémon, there are golden leaves. Thus, you need to study the terrain more carefully in search of gold leaves.

Another way to get rare Pokemon is to subscribe to the Pokémon Coach Club for a newsletter, where sometimes free codes are sent.

Another way to find epic and rare Pokemon is another game by Niantic, Ingress :

• Step 1: Install Ingress and complete the training (download link on the Google Store). Pokemon Go uses geotargeting the same way as Ingress. The main task in Ingress is to collect XM (white points) and get energy, which is similar to post-it. Typically, the emergence of XM mainly occurs near places of mass congestion, such as shopping centers and attractions.
• Step 2: Search for rare Pokémon. While playing in Ingress, look for a place with the highest XM, and then go to Pokemon GO to see which Pokémon are shown in the nearby list. Look at the Pokémon, which is 2-3 steps away, then go back to Ingress to find a place nearby with a high concentration of XM. Go there, and then open Pokemon GO to find the exact location where the Pokemon spawn point is located.
• Step 3: Catching the rare Pokémon. Now you are ready to find the location of a rare Pokemon. The next location will appear, as soon as you collect XM, it will take about 5 minutes to rebuild. Go to the next location and find another rare Pokemon. Catch them all!

Beware of trouble

Sadly, the game can take you to dangerous places and even get involved in real trouble. There have already been reports of scam groups that use Pokemon GO to lure unsuspecting players to the right places and rob them. And one girl even found a corpse while hunting Pokemon. So plan your routes in advance and avoid dangerous places.

Catch the legendary Pokémon

By this time, you should have collected at least ten kinds of Pokémon. If you are already tired of catching the same caterpillars, rejoice - the legendary Pokemon hides in the game, and it is on their search you need to concentrate. According to the trailer for the game, it hides such legendary Pokémon as Mew, Mute, Artikino, Moltres, Zddos and others.

Get more value from your Lucky Eggs

Lucky Eggs can temporarily increase your XP: for thirty minutes this figure will double. Use them in combination with the "Incense" element, thanks to which Pokemon will appear more often during these thirty minutes, and in the end you will be able to optimize your potential XP-benefits.

Collect items automatically

This is our favorite way to save time, and we found it only a few days after we started playing. Next to any Poke Stops, you do not need to click on all the circles that appear to get those or other items. Just click on the "X" button, and these items will be added to your backpack.

Catch all the Pokémon

You need to catch every Pokemon you can find, even if you already have this kind of Pokemon: you will receive additional items in the form of sweets that can increase the Pokémon's strength and evolve. In addition, you can give any Pokemon character game under the name "Professor Willow" in exchange for additional sweets.

How fast to get candy

As you can already see, training and development of Pokémon take place in two ways: getting bonuses and evolution . Thanks to this the most valuable resources in the game were Star Dust (Stardust) and Candy (Candy) . Consider how to get sweets using the fastest way in Pokemon GO. Also it is worth noting that sweets are not a common subject, therefore you will have to collect them for the evolution of each family separately.

• The first and easiest way is to capture the Pokémon. He will give you a certain amount of candy and star dust. However, if you want to evolve the Pokémon, you will have to earn candy for a particular family, so first you need to catch a representative of these families. After that, keep them until unification.
• The second way is trade. Although there is still no way to transfer anything to other players, you can transfer Pokémon to Professor Willow. This will allow you to get more chocolates for a particular family. To transfer creatures, click on them and select "Transfer". This is the most profitable way to get the candy of a particular family, which is available in the game.

How to quickly get stardust

For a start, get dust every time you are at catching Pokémon. While the number of sweets is always different and determined randomly, the amount of dust is always fixed. Each capture will bring you 100 units of resource.

Nevertheless, this quantity is always small, so let us consider another method of obtaining stellar dust. It is best to earn a resource in protecting gyms. Defending the hall of your team, you can get not only star dust, but also pokemon.

Such a generous bonus will be awarded to you for every 20 hours of holding the gym, because the longer your pokemon will be there, the more resources you can get. Of course, this method can not be called simple, but it is the most profitable and effective.

If you have not defended the room yet and do not know how to do it, then go to the store and click on the shield icon. Next, select the Pokémon that will protect the gym.

Summarizing, you can calculate that you will receive 100 units of stardust dust for catching the Pokémon, 500 units per capture of the new Pokémon, and 500 star dust for every 21 hours of holding the gym. At the same time, up to 10 objects can be protected.

It is better to waste stardust only on those Pokémon who have good abilities, as well as evolution. You should not spend such a valuable resource on each Pokémon.

Spend your chocolates on one, the most common kind of Pokémon

You can use sweets for the evolution of your Pokémon, and this applies, above all, to the captured Pokémon. If you want to increase the efficiency of your captured Pokémon, then update only the kind of Pokémon that most often occurs on your way. This will mean that you get more candy for this kind of Pokemon, and you can make one chosen Pokemon especially strong, and this power will give you an advantage during the fighting in the arenas.

Secrets and advice

Look around you

Although it is very important to catch a lot of Pokémon of the same species so that you can implement their evolution, it is also worth exploring the terrain outside your location - the kind of Pokémon you can catch varies depending on where they are.

Spend your coins wisely

You do not need to spend coins to buy Poke balls - they can be easily obtained in Poke Stops, besides, their search is one of the most enjoyable moments of the game in question. In addition, Poke Stops are regularly updated, so you do not need to spend coins. If you still want to part with your coins, then you'd better spend them on elements such as incense or bait, then to get more points XP, star dust and candy.

How can I get Pokemon eggs faster?

During your travels, you will be able to purchase eggs of Pokémon, which will become available after you have overcome more than one kilometer. If you want to get them faster, then you need to move more. For this purpose, cycling is great, but know that you can not cheat the system if you wind up circles on your car. If you will go very quickly, this factor will not take into account this factor.

Want to know what kind of Pokémon you will find in this or that egg? Then study our circular graph below.

New friends are waiting for you

The whole point of Pokemon GO is that players have to leave the house and travel, and, therefore, sooner or later they have to start to collide with each other. If it's hard for you to make new acquaintances, try to arm yourself with the game and go in search of not only Pokemon, but also people with whom to catch them will be more fun.

Earn additional XP when capturing the Pokémon

This is another trick that we did not know about when we passed our first levels. If you press and hold the Poke ball before pointing it to the Pokémon, and then start rotating it round, you will see the appearance of small sparks. Now you need to immediately release the Poke ball, and if you catch the Pokémon in this way, you can earn an additional 50 XP points.

What about trade and exchange?

So far, the trade and exchange of Pokémon in the application is not available. Pokemon can be transferred to Professor Willow, but you will not get them back.

Can I fight the Pokémon of my friends?

No. The only battles available in the Pokemon Go are the battles in the halls.

Usefull

The game can be used as a map

Due to the fact that Pokemon GO uses your real location as a game world, players simply can not get lost in the game. As Pokestopov used real attractions and popular places in the city, so it becomes even easier to navigate. Although Pokemon GO will never replace Google Maps in full, it definitely can be used to navigate the terrain.

Are there any halls for battles on the Pokemon Go?

There is. But compared to the animated series about Pokemon, they are realized in Pokemon go in a different way. Clubs are located around the world, like Poke Stop's. To resist other coaches, your character must have at least level five. Battles are held one on one against the Pokémon team of the opponent trainer. Each Pokemon has combat power, which can be improved with the help of objects. The winner of the battle is the Pokémon with the greatest power.

What is the waste of the phone's energy during the game?

Rumors that Pokemon Go is killing a battery of phones - pure fiction. Yes, the application is energy-intensive, but not to such an extent. In the options of the game there are tips for setting up.

Disable AR

You can disable the component called "AR", so that it's easier for you to catch Pokemon, and also to extend the battery life. To do this, click the AR icon in the upper right corner of the display when you see the Pokémon. This action will somewhat disrupt the integrity of the game atmosphere, so you should do so only if you intend to catch the Pokémon at any cost.

Save battery and traffic

Pokemon Go acts as a "killer" of the battery - it's simple and understandable. Players from all over the world are looking for ways to extend the battery life to enjoy the game as long as possible. It will need an internet connection, GPS, your camera and a lot of time to use the smartphone display.

In order to squeeze the most out of your device, go to the settings menu of this game, find there the function of saving battery power and activate it. In addition, we advise you to turn off the vibration in order not to waste energy of the battery in vain, and to further reduce the brightness level of the display. Here you can also turn off the music, since its playback also consumes battery power.

Pokemon GO uses Google Maps API to determine the location, which makes it possible to significantly reduce the consumption of mobile traffic. Just open the Google Maps app on your smartphone and save your city map for offline use. Now Pokemon GO will be able to load cards from the cache, which will not only reduce the amount of data transferred, but also increase the speed of the game.

Pokemon GO keeps the screen permanently on, locates, transmits and receives data, uses the camera and gadget sensors. To reduce power consumption, activate the Battery Saver in the game settings. If you turn on the battery saving mode, and the loan flips the phone upside down, the screen will darken, but it will still be possible to distinguish the game logo. In this state the game will continue, but the consumption of the charge will be minimal. Kilometers will still be counted, and the player will continue to receive alerts.

Problems with the server

Pokemon Go - the game is relatively new, and it has a lot of mistakes. One of the most common problems of this game can be called problems with servers, although many users also reported on suspensions and failures in Pokemon Guo.

Note that most of these problems can be solved by restarting this game, although you can also visit the server site for Pokemon Go to check that your server is still running. If it turns out that this server is not available, then you need to wait for it to work again.

Other rumors

We also heard some tips that we could not confirm in practice. First of all, it was stated that loading Google Maps offline for places where you want to search for Pokemon can extend the battery life and reduce the consumption of Internet traffic. We understand the meaning of this saying - theoretically, in this situation, Pokemon go will need a smaller amount of mobile data, but it is possible that the application of this game is too difficult to recognize and use the desired area in offline mode. That is, we want to say that in any case for the game still need to connect to the Internet. Secondly, we have heard that the speed of movement of an incubator with eggs is limited to 20 km / h. It seems to us that this indicator can be somehow bypassed, but how exactly, we can not say.

APK Pokemon Go file

You may have heard that you can download the APK Pokemon Go file even if it is not available in your region. Of course, this is a real way to get the game, although it carries some risks.

Note that some such files available at the moment contain malicious software that can damage your device.
