I'd add "Playing solo" as a big mistake. My experience with the game improved when I started to play with other people and joining groups online. Going solo is easier but is way too slow and exhausting.

[@markgwapo2918]

How add me

[@gone9820]

Imagine having the privilege of playing with friends and strangers! Couldn't be me. Also le'ts remember that this type of mechanic (playing with more people = better gameplay) is very flawed. It makes people spoof and cheat because they don't have the privilege of knowing people who play pokemon go. Atleast I don't spoof!

[@timoaks3732]

Ain't nobody got time to play with others....

[@Pentarax]

I will say with regards to gym battling; it can still be hard to figure out how to best spread your pokemon across gyms. I've had days where I try to hold 8-10 gyms, and what winds up happening is...nothing for two/three days. No coins whatsoever; everyone stays in. Two/three days later, half of them get knocked out and I've only gained 50 coins because of the limit. It's a bit frustrating to see Pokemon after Pokemon after Pokemon after Pokemon get knocked out and returned along with "50 coin daily limit already reached".

[@DnDude27]

I definitely agree that this is one of the most annoying features. I can have a Pokémon in a gym for almost a week and get only 50 coins when it seems I should’ve gotten 300

[@kotickyle]

Same here and I hate it. That is all.

[@JujuInFlames]

Ya it’s a crummy way of keeping you continuously taking gyms. I pretty much take about 3 or 4 around my house and after a day if it’s still there I’ll have my gf take it since she’s on a different team. No point in taking like 8 gyms when you get the same benefit by having half the amount

[@madseason29]

It’s easier to gain coins as team yellow

[@madseason29]

@@JujuInFlames same bro lololol

[@matthewthomas8191]

Another one would be to never delete berries. Loads of people I no just delete berries bc it takes up too much space in their item bag, but instead of deleting berries you should feed them to gyms. This gets the berries out of your item bag and gives u stardust, xp and sometimes candy’s.

[@W8ING.4.REP_TV]

Yes true. And since basically nobody uses Nanab berries on a daily basis use them on the gyms!

[@austinrowe4995]

Something to add is pay attention to the daily research encounters. Instead of just getting whatever research from the first stop you spin and keeping it, you may find a rare encounter thru research

[@Pentarax]

There was a stretch recently where pokestops were giving field research of "Catch 3 pokemon" with the reward being various types of Mega Energy. That entire stretch of 4 days I was dumping every bit of field research I got that *wasn't* a Mega Energy task just to keep getting the Mega stuff. Presently I now have enough Mega Energy to mega-evolve Charizard twice, Gengar three times, Altaria twice, Gyrados once (and Beedrill any number of times, but I'm not counting him).

[@momstealer1123]

@@Pentarax I got 200 steel is mega energy

[@Swift640]

As a side note to the raid algorithm: I’m pretty sure that the game recommends you Pokémon based on their TDO (total damage output), which is why you occasionally see super tanky Pokémon in your recommended, because they will do more total damage than some other Pokémon in your storage. However, what you want for raids is high DPS Pokémon (damage per second) so that you can take down the raid boss as fast as possible and get more premier balls for catching the raid Pokémon/mega energy for mega raids

[@Dragon211]

great tips but I don't personally see them as mistakes. If you're having fun with the game even if you aren't been efficient you're ok! like many games I've played in the past it's so easy to optimize the fun out of a game, but I'll defiantly take a few of these tips you mentioned!

[@xollyxolly3234]

My mistakes? Evolving a 0 or 1 star pokemon during my first year of playing the app. I evolved 0 star magikarp into a gyarados. I regret it so much. I now have 8 strong 3 star iv gyarados thanks to better understanding of the game. And I waste way too much stardusts on leveling up pokemon.

I do understand about the gym bottling earning pokecoins but the problem is that you only have a daily limit of 50 pokecoins. Regardless if you is good however I just feel like the limit should be a bit more higher or depending how many gyms you defeated. I'm just saying.

[@CountJinsulaOfficial]

I agree 100%. Gym coin system has been in need of a rework for years now.

[@DogMeatDelicious]

But then there is no need to give Niantic and the pokemon company your real money anymore

[@jamiecumba]

@@DogMeatDelicious I mean you can still do it. I think it's ridiculous that you have have to do 5 days of gym fights so you can receive 250 coins to get distance raid pass. It's getting ridiculous.

When the game first came out they didnt have a daily limit you got about 20 coins a day for every pokemon you have in a gym

[@itinsuranceguy]

Important to keep progressing your buddies. The best buddy boost is significant especially if the pokemon can also be a mega. I neglected this for ages until I got my Charizard to best buddy. The CP boost was amazing. Now I've best buddied about 6 Megas and I'm working thru the rest every day.

[@qocy]

made my account 6 days after the game released. just starting playing again

[@Atomikbomb444]

A mistake to me, and my Pokémon heart is people not caring about buddies much. Not only is it sad, but they help if you bop a ball off a pokemon's noggin by making a rebound shot, saving you balls in the long run. Having multiple best buddies is helpful for CP boosts, and it's just delightful so I don't know why people don't care or ever farm for hearts. It's not like we usually need potions, revives or berries, but sometimes they help (I end up with too many potions or berries : pokeballs and need to dump them, but it can help if you've had a busy raid day, or you can just feed max berries to gym allies). The coach battles are always available, so it isn't difficult to get a lot of hearts and keep switching buddies. I sometimes am too busy to do all 20 swaps in a day, but I try and take advantage of the buddy game element.

You don't even have to battle gyms to get your coins, you can just add them to empty slots if you drive around during the day

[@HollyG1903]

I have no idea how. I started the day the game was released and then picked it back up after a 3 year break and this is so confusing. I've never battled until now and I have no idea how you are supposed to make a team? How do you know which ones are worth leveling up? I know the appraisal button is more accurate than before but I just can't figure out which ones are actually useful

[@crowcove]

@@HollyG1903 First try to get a strong Pokémon, I recommend looking at vids of good starter teams and looking for them in the wild, incubate some eggs while you’re at it, look at their appraisal and if it’s good (3* up) fox their move set if you need to and put them on your team, you can make one by going into battle, go to the league you’re in, then select the Pokémon, when you start battles make sure you select the right team

[@sapphireclawe]

What I do is I tend to work with the algorithm but correct where needed (ie replacing Pokemon that fit the types needed to counter and Team Rocket tends to hint at which Pokemon they tend to use to make it easier but also trusting that the Pokemon I didn't replace will be awesome in battle). This idea rarely gives me problems.

[@Poorstargazer23]

Oh don't throw reg potions away :( I always have a few mon I used in gyms or battles that aren't top hitters and I leave them at lower health and then burn potions to heal them as I get potions. I save max potions and max revives for raids were you really only have a handful or maybe just one Pokemon that's really going to be a super effective hitter and you need a quick healing turn around if you get KO'd during a raid. Having these stockpiled because I don't use them in day-to-day gaming means on legendary raid days I can really use my max healing stash without any worry about running out.

[@rosarose788]

I think I'm most guilty of powering up my "Perfect" Pokémon... You do assume that because they have a 100% appraisal, they are going to "SMASH" everything..(LOL, not the case since there are numerous other Pokémon with different abilities/stats and ETC!!) Stardust is truly like Gold in this game so you have to use it wisely and I still don't know the most savvy way to spend it... 😔

#7 mistake....Do not delete pokemon that are good. Just because a pokemon isn't that great in GL, doesn't mean it won't be good in the halloween cup, kanto cup, etc.... I've done this many times and now when I check IVs, I'm checking all previous cups that we've had in the past. A good example: I had a rank 6 UL Kingdra. Checked PvPoke, said it was rank 200 something, discarded it and now its like rank 23 in UL. I'm kicking myself in the ass for it too cuz it walls TalonFlame. As for number 1 mistake, I used to do the same but I fixed that easily with a Go plus. LOL Fast catch is still better, but its boring catching everything. We can chalk it up to laziness too, IDC.

[@paulspaziante5766]

Meh- i tend to disagree with catching all the pokemon on screen--sometimes its a waste of time--caterpie, weedle, etc., not worth the effort once you have the shiny version and evolutions...you can get stardust many other ways

You want to keep catching especially weedle and caterpie because they only cost 12 candies to evolve so if a double evolve xp day pops up you can mass evolve a ton of weedle and pidgies

[@basara5496]

One thing about using the recommended Pokemon a lot of the raids I fight are remote raids and when there's two or three possible five-star raid bosses and a mega going it's kind of hard to set up the right team for the raid when you come in with only 30 seconds or so left which is typical. While you can send a few teams up ahead of time you might not always have the time to heal something up before you have to hop right back in in a new raid and with the limited amount of time that some of the remote invites are giving it may not have the time for you to go in and heal while in the lobby and then swap the newly healed pokémon back in. And since a lot of the ones I do get remoted to are ones with 8 to 12 raiders it's really not that big of an issue.

[@CountJinsulaOfficial]

Typically if you are chain Raiding, you have a ton of solid Pokémon in your collection where the recommended won't fill your team up with trash. Thus, it's kind of an edge case where using recommended is okay.

[@gkline8288]

In terms of tip 5, did it ever occur to you that those players just don't want to use the 'best' Pokémon. If there is a undisputable best counter for every Pokémon and we all just use the same Pokémon, that will make the game so boring. It seems more exciting to me to switch up what I'm using, regardless of whether someone else tells me it's good or not

[@CountJinsulaOfficial]

When it comes to raids, I disagree. Sentimentality aside, it's a numbers game. You not only benefit yourself with more premiere balls with higher damage (which allows you more chances at catching the legendary), but you benefit the raid group as a whole.

[@manning0]

@@CountJinsulaOfficial I can't argue with that but I think it depends what you think the end goal of PoGo is. Is it level 50, is it catching them all, is it to gold as many gym as possible? Personally, I like the last one and with that, I can have more variety of who I pick to battle with. Raids, I guess I am more inclined to go in with 6 of the same mons, but I just find it boring.

I’ve started heavily prioritizing lucky pokemon vs perfects. The difference between about 80% and 100% is very low, and most luckies average about 89% or 91%, where the difference between those and 100% is negligible. I’d rather spend the same amount of dust on 2 luckies rather than 1 perfect.

[@grantdeluxe5274]

Kudos to you, I have the inability to do so. It may be my inner perfectionist, the only exception I make is a 15/15/14 which is functionally perfect (I check on pvpoke)

[@Lyokoheros-KLPXTV]

Wait, "Lucky friend"? So there is level beyond best friends? I always only managed to get lucky trades at random, never heard of such w thing like "lucky friends"... Also some of these aren't really mistake. Games are not only about extreme effectiveness end competitive part, they're mostly about fun and enjoyment. And some of these "mistake to avoid", are fully valid way of playing the game. Like keeping some pokemon because its the species You like regardless if it/s usefull or not, or just keeping them in order to trade with someone (most of my pokemon I catch I keep and trade them with my brother - and despite he plays with me from... I'm not entirely sure as I remember about half a year, and we aren't really a hardcore players, but still we got way over 70 lucky pokemons (I can't say exact number - in cases of some which are neither interesting nor relevant in battles I have usually transfer the lucky duplicates of that pokemon when I have more than 2-3 of them, currently having 68 lucky pokemons) or just to actually have all the species. The way "strategist" play a game and the way "adventurers" do it are equally valid, and not so little of these mistakes is only mistake if one is/wanna be a strategist. Also - as much as I try to get 50 coins everyday (but it doesn't always happen in my area I sometimes get knocked out after few minutes, and at other time... my pokemon can sit in gym for day. The same gym) it isn't really alleviating the problem of pay-to-win as the mechanic of how the coins are collected is simply unfair, and what You can get of it is not consistently relevant to effort put in it. (Which is one of the part of this game which imo is a sign of bad design in that regard) I mean it's not even this hard to figure out something better. Like 50 coins but only applying to that one event of knocking pokemon out instead of global (so You could get 50 coins EVERY TIME a pokemon leaves a gym ). Or 50 per day per gym. So if pokemon was in gym for 6 day - it gives you 300 coins and don't affect results from other gyms. Considering the prices in the market... it wouldn't honestly be reasonable (but would kinda solve pay-to-win issue) actually with those changes they even could slow down the rate to gain coins. Like 1 per 15, 20, 30, 40, 45 or so minutes instead of 10... well 30 would effectively make daily limit lower than 50 coind already, but as long as it would be global limit... I wouldn't mind. Also they could make it (if we keep the limit for single return from the gym) that a player can substitute pokemon of his weakest teammate in the gym among those which has zeroed energy and already will give a player a full amount of coins (in that case their return - especially if they would keep full health - would be actually beneficial for that player).

[@XACTIC_Valour]

Only issue I have is how you said that if everyone were to get their daily coins, the community wouldn’t be so hurt with raid passes/upset with the state of the game. In order to get a free bundle of 3 remote passes that’s still 5 days straight for just 3 raids. Not very sustainable. Also the state of the game is mostly to blame on niantics part. There’s a large percentage of entitled players but majority have genuine concerns around niantics dealings around the game.

I power up when i have assignment saying power up or for team rocket boss just spend a little on Machamp but not to much he already had a high cp

[@pikafhu7611]

Is there a way to change a Pokémon’s IV if not, is it worth it to choose a 100% cp >100 or a higher cp with less IV

[@cawse3429]

only purifying pokémon can increase IV. focusing on IV level is way more important than cp level :) to help get higher cp pokemon a tip i use is to store multiple 2* and 3* of the same pokemon because it means the IV of those u find in the wild are likely to be higher

[@cawse3429]

well that's if u prefer collecting pokémon^ if u constantly raid and battle then cp is obviously better choice

[@Runescapeguides110]

Going to shibuya is insane - countless gyms, raids, and pokestops.

[@kattimate]

I think it was yesterday that i watched one of your videos or day before about IV's. I had no clue about it and i had transferred a couple hundred Pokemon before i knew that, better later than never "^^. Cheers for all the info you give to help others'.

[@RoyThe4th]

I'd suggest not deleting all potions and revives.

[@rinka6498]

But the point is you should have enough Max potions/revives that the lesser potions aren't as needed and are wasting bag space...

[@RoyThe4th]

@@rinka6498 your probably right since I always seem to have like 1500 revives and potions combined. I can't ever seem to bring myself to delete more than a hundred of them.

[@leeroy8936]

How about catching evolved forms of pokemon? Ill spend months catching the base pokemon after new regions are introduced and then pop a lucky egg and evolve them all. I have easily gotten 1.5 million exp in one go.

[@stisoisfnr7769]

But as true as some of them would hit ppl, for example catching every Pokémon would sometime be boring. So rather play with less stardust income then bored and quit. And therefor getting the catcha or what it is called will helps so much, and therefor maybe a little pay to win, but also is that so bad?

Mistake : not seeing all quets I have. I evolve a Slowpoke and spend all my candy... and a few day later...I have to evolve a.....slowpoke..... thus from this day... I have a checklist of all my quest to the end.. so i can predict what I should do in the futur.... and for all beginner... make a magikarp on friend and run with it.... :)

How the hell did you get so many hundos and shundos while only being lv 47 in this Video? I get the shlundos but the rest is unbeliavably high for this level. In comparision, I'm at 50 with 433k catches and have only 206 hundos and 4 shundos so I don't really get how you managed to get the crazy amounts of hundos and shundos you own at your level
