58 Pokémon GO Tips & Tricks

[@HavocAlex]

Beedrill is the best mega to farm the platinum medal with. Costs 5 energy at max level and you can get 5 energy from spinning gyms.

[@TidalBell]

This is such a god tip tbh. I got the successor medal 2 weeks ago thanks to abusing beedrill and i didn’t even go as crazy as some people do, i just mega evolved beedrill in between whenever i had a free mega evolution from one of my other megas. And before the mega update i had mega evolve like 50 times MAX.

[@Planetmango48]

Ok cool

[@D.H.1987]

I played the mega energy field research weekend hard after 1.5 years of quiting the game and was able to get so much energy of each to get all the megas to level 3 without skipping a day. Hundreds of field researches completed and several hundeds of thousands of stardurst spend on useless lvl 1 and 2 pokemon

Interesting tip I learned regarding the functional hundo thing. A 0/0/15 ditto is a functional hundo. It takes all stats besides the hp of the pokemon it copies.

[@1Phloat1]

The best theory i've heard on the bonus stardust pokemon is that they are pokes that usually (always?) are pokemon that carry items worth a lot of money in the MSG. Trubbish for example can be holding a nugget, starmie can be holding a star piece, and the foongus sometimes carry... something from the forest that is valuable, i forget. Meowth won't be holding a valuable item iirc, but meowth and persian learn Payday which farms you cash, I think its a nod to that.

[@smokeymacpot8525]

meowth got the that coin amulet item thing thou

[@DiegoDays7]

I truly believe this is the best poke channel on earth, thanks Daxi for the great content, I also appreciate the fact that your videos are not way too long✌🏻

[@crooks1000]

6:18 they give extra stardust because they all have a very good chance to be carrying an item in the classic Pokémon games. Paras is known to hold mushrooms, staryu/starmi stardust/star piece, meowth/Persian gold nugget etc

[@xtrafe5953]

The stagger gym battles not only defeats the gym faster, but also shortens the time window for the defending player to put a golden razzberry to heal them. Another tip, if you're soloing the gym battle, if you don't knockout the pokemon, just back out and battle again, it's way faster and gives less time for the razzberry to be put in.

[@OvaltineJenkinsFx]

This bit on PVP: "If you end up raging...just stop. It's literally just a game." haha this is me, especially when PVP goes into that mode where I need to hit the charge move button 42 times before my charge move initiates.

[@mikaellindqvist5599]

Yeah and during that happends your opponent throws two instead.

[@themaverick427]

A few tips I use: 1) If you don't have a long straight area to walk for your daily incense, you can use a shorter straight area. Start walking like normal and then when the Pokémon spawns immediately turn around and start walking in the opposite direction. This is because the game determines if a new Pokémon should spawn by measuring a straight line from where the last Pokémon spawned to your current location, so if you change direction right as a Pokémon spawns you don't actually lose out on distance. Still better to try limiting the direction changes and you might turn a little late and lose out on some spawns but I've consistently gotten around 27 spawns with this method. 2) Don't collect special research rewards or rewards from referral quests until you need them. If you collect then they full up your bag and take space while you don't need them, but if you leave them until you need to use them, they effectively give you bonus bag space. Especially useful for the extra referral bonus that gives you 50 rare candy. Don't do this for timed research as it will time out and you'll lose the rewards. 3) similar to point to if you have an XP or stardust reward you don't need to claim it right away, you can wait until you are going to pop an egg or starpiece for some other event and then just claim it there too. If you know you're going to use a star piece later, don't open gifts until you use it, as gifts give a decent amount of stardust and you can open them to use up any extra time on your starpiece.

[@TheRealMrAndrew]

Another tip for gym battles: if you encounter a fully stocked, fully healed, gym, defeat one Pokémon, back out, defeat two Pokémon, back out, then go in and defeat three, back out, defeat three again, back out, and repeat. This will decrease the chances of a player getting alerted that the gym is under attack and coming in and fully healing the gym. I’ve battled gyms where a Blissey or Chancey would be in the front, battle the entire gym so that I only need to defeat each Pokémon once more, and then someone came in, healed all the Pokémon, and totally negated everything I had done, wasting a lot of my time.

[@KeffLeTalker]

do even get alerted anymore ? the last few months i never got any alert that the gym is getting attacked

[@TheRealMrAndrew]

@@KeffLeTalker you only get alerted when your Pokémon’s health is low and if multiple people are attacking the gym or someone is using multiple devices, you might go from two battles left to none in less than ten seconds.

[@KeffLeTalker]

@@TheRealMrAndrew ah damn ok haha

[@mikaellindqvist5599]

My alerts always comes after ibeen kicked out. If i even get one.

[@TheRealMrAndrew]

Also, I recommend that anytime a new Pokémon is spawning in the wild, use pineapp berries on them and hold onto them until double transfer candy. Some Pokémon debut and then disappear once the event is over and you’re not able to get any more candies unless you want to buddy it or use rare candies on them. I’m looking at you, Bergmite.

For a pokemon that moves to the side (ie beldum) give it a banana berry and run and rencounter to have the berry applied with the mon in the center of the screen, making for much easier excellent throws.

[@SlurmDude]

Extra stardust pokemon are almost always pokemon that get caught with valuable hold items in the main games. Like paras and mushrooms. Meowth is because of its unique move payday

[@TheReal_ist]

Very cool funfact thanks my dude!! ❤️

[@phantombladeto5484]

Guys focus on Leveling up mega charizard as it will boost candy XL from Yveltal raids due to flying typing and being fire it will help a lot on litwick comm day. I am using a high level and will get it to max level 5 days before comm day

[@woofwoofs14]

Charizard is really just one of the best megas overall (both x and y) so it’s just great to have one.

[@SoinEight]

*u don't specifically need to evolve d pkmn of same type for a "raid encounter" to get boosted normal candies. any mega pkmn will activate d bonus for only normal candies

[@MrV902]

I'm doing Gengar for Litwick day but I'm hoping a Halloween event will get me some Houndoom energy for fire types. Otherwise it's going to be another 3 months.

[@geertjalving8474]

Not to be a dick, but mega aerodactyl is by far the better option since it is a good attacker, boost the rock AND gives extra XLs and candues ;)

[@shiny_lock]

@@SoinEight I'm pretty sure the XL chance doesn't work for other types though

[@gonzalopereira2500]

Tip: in order to prepare for later events be sure to have at least 4 maxed mega pokemons of the same type to mega evolve one for free every single day (its 4 and not 3 as some people think, because the 3 day cooldown starts the moment your mega its not longer active after the 8 hours, for example say you mega your pokemon at 13:00, it will last until 21:00 and the next time you will be able to mega evolve it for free will be at 21:00 three days later, having a 4th maxed mega will solve this!)

[@lecameleondeslangues3006]

Another tip: use your mystery box whenever you can. There’s really no reason why everyone shouldn’t have a hundo meltan.

[@mr.z6887]

Are you able to get a shiny too?

[@TheRealMrAndrew]

@@mr.z6887 Unfortunately, shiny meltan, like shiny smeargle, only shows up during special events. I’ve been playing since December 2020 and I believe shiny meltan has only been available during one, maybe two, events during that time. I was able to catch one, but I don’t know if it’s a boosted shiny or a 1/500 odds shiny.

[@mikaellindqvist5599]

I caught 1278 meltan. Still no hundo. Im sick of theese boxes... 🤭😴

[@electrostone0]

I caught two hundo meltan out of the same box

[@joelgrebinsilvestri]

how do i get a mistery bocx?

[@IAmKingTony]

With the Daily Adventure Incense what I like to do is go through the area where I'm going to fire it off and clear all of the Pokemon first, then use it and double back through the cleared area.

[@shiny_lock]

Saving rocket radars or super rocket radars for when their Pokémon is weather boosted can make getting 15 attack for raid Pokémon easier, as it's now minimum 4 IV rather than 0

[@dboozer4]

Weather doesn't affect raid Pokémon. The IV floor for raids and eggs is already 10, which is higher than the IV floor of 4 for weather boosted pokemon.Pokémon. If you instead meant for battling Cliff, Sierra, Arlo, and Giovanni, then yes, that would be correct.

[@D.H.1987]

Something to remember when dropping berries in gyms your gonna want to start on the pokemon to the fair right or left so you can quickly switch Pokemon and keep your bonus going up. Iv gotten as much as 3k stardust for a raspberry!!! It's amazing!!!

[@darkwolfyy6798]

This is a rolling count, I don't believe you're actually getting that much per berry..

[@noise2see664]

@@darkwolfyy6798 yes it counts up as you go, you always get 30 dust per berry

[@dboozer4]

The way PoGo does it is deceiving... that number is your accumulated dust, not the dust you got for that berry. You can confirm this by noting how much dust you started with and how much you end with. The difference will be 30×the number of berries you fed, regardless of how quickly you fed them.

[@FifaFrancesco]

The widget one is incredible thanks, I had no idea!

[@DragonPupEclipse]

Another tip: Always hatch the eggs in the Bonus Storage that arent 12km eggs first. That way you have the space to receive the eggs you get from Adventure sync rewards and Team Go rocket Leaders.

[@JustJameztheSapling]

I actually thought this was the OG video, thanks for the tips!

[@musicxmp3533]

For the PvP IV search filter - you can also search for ranges as not all Pokemon require 0-15-15 and you might miss a 0-15-14 for example. Simply try: age0&0-1attack&3-4defense&3-4hp You can leave out the age0 too but I have it to spot newly caught ones. This will add a buffer (Pokemon with 0-15-15 to 5-11-11)

[@choorah3961]

Why does it not matter the attack in pvp

[@musicxmp3533]

@@choorah3961 as far as I know it’s that atk stat inflates the CP of a pokemon, meaning that with less attack you get more overall stats for the same CP in PvP. In Master League you want 100% IV because there is no CP limit but in other leagues you want the most stats for your CP. There should be plenty of videos explaining this in more detail. :)

[@DM_Gazruk]

@pokedaxi, regarding boosted stardust pokemon. There is a correlation between pokemon in go with boosted Stardust and pokemon that can be found in the wild holding valuable items in the main series. An example is Shroomish, Paras, and Parasect, which all hold Mushrooms or TinyMushrooms, worth a lot of money in those games. Staru, Starmie, Meowth, and others all have similar items.

[@Daniel27125]

[@Skyehye3113]

Predecessor means what came before so this is a successor

[@Kkubey]

About pokestop locations, in the past a lot of those have been rejected for Ingress reasons. A home portal for someone they don't want to get a portal, a portal that is hard to access which no one in pogo would mind but would destroy the experience for people playing Ingress, and so on. In general, make sure it's a public space as it could be a headache to people otherwise (also for potential future games, or in low stop density cells having that exact one becoming a gym and people can't access it), but if there is a community just bullying someone, just appeal it.

3:24 this is very difficult for most city players as these spawns always spawn on other already existing pokemon and for some reason sometimes it is almost impossible to click on them. And when it comes to using incense where there are no spawns, I don't understand the logic except for rural players but people living in medium to big towns/cities always have a lot of spawns and it isn't right to expect them to not play in a busy area due to safety reasons.

The fighting gym tip is great; but keep in mind ppl may start berrying the gym if they see they'll potentially lose it. You & your crew have to decide whether to take the Maxx C challenge (yugioh reference) & keep fighting it.

[@PSYCHOV3N0M]

That's not a problem at all because you can only feed a Pokemon 10 times within a 30 minute time span. If 2 or 3 people are working together to attack a gym, any Pokemon that gets fully healed won't last long regardless. Even going solo it's all about pushing through vs the same defending Pokemon until the defending player reaches the 10 berry limit. I destroy Blisseys left and right by myself who keep healing themselves. It's a matter of WHEN you'll take them down. NOT if.

I miss the old days where Pokémon Go was much more simpler. Now there are so many things you can do.

If I’m not wrong, the game gives you extra candy for caught legendaries regardless of your mega evolved pokemon’s type, say i have a mega venusaur and I catch a mewtwo, it will still receive more candy Might have to double check but that’s how it works if i recall correctly

Works like this for regular candy but not xl
