14 hidden mechanics Pokemon Go never tells you about

[@TheShapingSickness]

You know, I actually like that they're not giving any tutorials. Games used to be like that before, it makes you want to research and discover all the things the game has.

+The Guy Who Shot Nino Brown so true

[@TheFarsethi]

I guess all those booklet manuals that were bundled with virtually every retail game (so basically all of them sans preinstalled ones) were just in my imagination, huh?

[@amshermansen]

No - Games used to have manuals. Stop talking nonsense, Isaac...

[@solblackguy]

-Same Type Attack Bonuses (or STAB) is a mechanic in the game. Meaning a Pokemon of a specific type gets an additional attack bonus when using the same type attack. This is actually more valuable than just comparing CP. This is one of the reasons why the Eveelutions are so absurdly strong. -The three dominant stats in Pokemon Go are Attack, Speed, and Defense. There is no special attack or special defense. -Finding Pokemon in certain areas are relatively canon to where you would find them in the gameboy games. But, there has to be either a gym or Pokestop nearby to recognize the area. -Pokemon defending gyms attack in set 1.5 second intervals, regardless of speed. -Each team has an unlisted perk: Valor can catch high CP pokemon easier and attract higher CP pokemon., Mystic gets bonus CP when evolving pokemon and more CP when powering up ones that don't evolve, and Instinct's Pokemon hatch with 90% of their CP bar filled and significantly more candy. -All wild Pokemon cap at level 30 and hatched ones cap at level 20, so save your stardust for endgame to power up your favorites. (Unknown how team perks affect this) -Pokemon Go generates a lot of junk files and cache. Get an app that can automatically clean these files up to save valuable memory space and prevent unnecessary crashes. -The ceiling fan "trick" doesn't work for hatching eggs. Stop being lazy and travel.

[@Sith90lord]

when a comment is more insightful then the actual video... ty.

[@thepeginator2556]

i.e. a water type Pokemon using a water type attack gets a damage bonus? As opposed to say a water type Pokemon using a ground attack?

[@LoneWoIffe]

+Alex Pegington Yes. It's not enough to match types, you have to match moves. If a Pikachu is fending off a Staryu, it needs to use an electric attack. Something like Quick Attack won't deal extra damage just because Staryu is weak against electric Pokémon. Basic game rules since the beginning.

[@solblackguy]

Ravyn Liam True, but what I'm talking about is a grass type will deal more damage with a grass move than another type that uses a grass move. Or a grass/poison will get a bonus to their grass and poison moves. But a normal will only deal the base damage with a psychic or ground attack. Kind of why Snorlax with Bodyslam is more powerful than one with Earthquake. Their Zen Headbutt won't deal as much damage as a psychic type with similar CP.

[@colinfrederick2603]

Source that hatched ones cap at 20? "All wild Pokemon cap at level 30 and hatched ones cap at level 20"

[@TheRedGecko20K]

Battery saver mode = guaranteed way to get the game to crash when you flip it up again.

[@tylerlivingston5654]

holy crap, I thought I was the only one! it's so frustrating!

[@schutz85]

Doesn't crash for me but it stops allowing me to tap on anything until I restart the game.

[@zitrusboy3385]

Me 2, i hope they will patch all these bugs soon..

[@admirkaralic7209]

I've got a LG G3, my friend a HTC M9 and my other friend has the same phone I have and we all have experienced that problem of the game freezing and not allowing to tap anywhere on the screen, So to the Rude bitch on top, you have no idea what you're talking about.

[@notsofast6798]

+God Damn yeah same

[@DengMam]

The one with the google maps download is total horse shit according to one of Niantics developpers. He was asked on twitter if the tweak actually works and is response simply was "There is no way". Turns out the app is sandboxed, so it doesn't share resources with other apps to prevent malicious usage of the app. I tested it myself, since I live at the border of 2 other countries, I downloaded the maps of surrounding areas and then crossed the border to get a cell connection to a german provider. The Pokemon Go app kept showing me moving on a green area (it couldn't download the map) while the google maps app still used the downloaded map.

[@worldsmack]

I was curious about that. Thanks for the heads up!

[@Triferus]

thanks, almost downloaded the entire state of ohio

[@arakwar]

I was wondering, because usually apps are sandboxed, on iPhone that would had been a feat to allow this feature.

[@TheTopBinsTelevision]

[@ChazAllenUK]

This! Classic games journalism. "We'll just guess something and print it as fact"

[@Axhole11]

these aren't "hidden" most are obvious and simple

[@cryptic8630]

They are hidden. Lol the game itself does not tell you any of this

[@TheDarthJesus]

They actually do... for example combat is explained when you first arrive at a gym. Catching pokemon is explained at the beginning of the game.

[@ghfhgfuuu]

oh wow you are soooooo smart omg I'm so impressed with you damnnnnn. you must know everything!!!!

[@cryptic8630]

+TheDarthJesus You named only a few things, he said "most" which is completely untrue. Majority of what was discussed in this video are indeed hidden.

[@liondeag]

Good to see that everyone is still reiterating the same generic info over and over again. Let me know when you have some info that's worth listening to.

[@Pikachu662]

That's because everything in Pokemon Go is pretty much straightforward. There isn't going to be a lot of secrets. At least not now. It just came out.

[@joshrichardson1634]

I hate these no talent cookie cutter youtube channels.. Everyone just watches the same video and copies it.. This one is worse considering you gotta hear the way this paddie says "poke" every other word... Be original or gtfo of the youtube racket..

[@gatorbait9385]

If you're talking about the maps downloading from Google, may I ask if it actually changed anything for you? I never looked at the difference, but someone important said it wouldn't work.

battery saving mode is little bugged. I never can tap on anything afte I get out of battery saving. And I have Xperia Z2 and Android 6.

[@erickk1992]

Same here, missed out on a scyther the other day bc of this

[@jazzybhatia6945]

Yup, I'm in the same boat. I'm using the same phone and have noticed the same problem.

can u explain how to use ot

[@ogindianspice]

Same except I have an iPhone 6s

[@solidacro]

Yeah, I have the same problem with my iPhone 5c.

[@jaggooey]

but sometimes when I use battery saver, my game doesn't allow me to select anything:(

[@Magmaquatic]

Another glitch :(

[@djkalid2345]

It's a glitch , turning on battery saver causes your game to freeze I recommend not using it till they patch it

[@kremix6662]

I had that problem too, but it got fixed after force stopped Go, and cleared the cache from my phone.

[@neverneverneveragain3800]

Only happens if you touch your phone too soon. Wait a half second and it won't freeze.

[@yanly1092]

Razzberries don't expire until your pokeball hits the pokemon Use real money to buy the bag upgrade (lucky eggs and egg incubators are also helpful). Having extra bag space is worth it to hold more pokeballs! If you plan to not challenge gyms, delete most your potions and revives so you can hold even more pokeballs! Walk when you have the incense on. It gives you way more pokemon than if you stay in one spot Refrain from evolving pokemon to their second form when they also have a third form. It's actually better to wait until you're a high level, but at least wait until you have enough to evolve straight to the last third form. When you're running, make sure the game is still working. The loading symbol should be disappearing every now and again. If it doesn't disappear, the game probably isn't loading correctly. Close the app to reset.

Yep, and there shouldn't be an apostrophe there either. If you're gonna make a video, at least check your spelling and grammar.

[@goldsage1845]

really? this was extremely basic information in my opinion. I found all of this out the day the game came out except some of the gym stuff

[@MrAnimeHelp]

+dave longsdorf Good for you. Still, the fact that there isn't any tutorial or guide built in-game, there are many stuff that people will learn about the game from others. That's pretty much how life works, too.

[@RapidNameChange]

+dave longsdorf I did figure out a lot of this stuff on my own but not everyone does, making this a pretty helpful video. Especially for new players.

[@FanGirlMania]

+MrAnimeHelp I think that was done on purpose in order for the players to interact with eachother and figure out the game together.

[@DarkPyroZero]

Your first tip is wrong, you get a bonus based on how close to the centre of the Pokemon you hit, ranging from "Nice!" to "Great!" and then "Excellent!", think of the Pokemon as a marble, and you want to aim right for the nose to get the best bonus

[@mountindru]

and misinformation too. cp doesn't mean shit if the IV for the mon is shit. check your mons in the silphroad's IV rater first. powering up a good IV mon is far more valuable than having a high cp mon with trash IVs.

[@Allanchan-nel]

Putting different types of Pokemon in a gym isn't a mechanic of the game - it's a strategy for how to play the game.

[@Benzinilinguine]

it's spelled eevee, you scrubs

[@bundiesel8472]

1. you can also zoom by double tapping one finger and then swipe up or down. 2. curve balls can be thrown more accurately if you swipe your finger towards the three arrows on side of screen (the arrows don't always show up). 3. extra exp. during a throw is achieved by bull's-eye and the size of the ring determines nice throw, great throw, or excellent throw.

[@jordanDswift]

"XP points"? So... experience points points?

[@jordanDswift]

"Name your Eevee's" doesn't need an apostrophe, either. Did anyone proofread this crap?

[@RosaAurelia805]

Thank you so much, I really enjoyed this video! Keep doing what you are doing!

[@chaya2994]

Bruh. Nobody knows about this tip, but if you click the pokemon you want to find, then click the compass, it should point in the direction of the pokemon nearby. Refreshing the app several times should increase gps accuracy.

[@CrustyTheMoist]

Holy crap this is so good to know!

[@Dampler]

Uhh tapping the compass just points you towards north and if you tap it again it points you in the direction your character is facing.

[@chaya2994]

actually, I tested it and if the compass points "north" try rotate your phone, and if the point of view changes, then you must re do the steps above^ and some point your point of view wil stop changing.

[@joshhooke8834]

"Name your Evees"

[@Fabian......]

"The higher the CP, the better the evolution" no, definitely not XD

[@supertoxicgamer]

It's evolved CP is directly related to its previous evolutions CP

[@Fentonius1337]

+Eli Cochran no it's not, it's related to the position of the circle on the bar around the Pokemon

[@pablogabrielzeladacabrera1560]

That's very true, what do you mean. 😂😂

[@darkspectrum4772]

The position on the circle is the pokemon's CP as a percentage, so yes it is.

[@TheBgs1080]

People who throw pokeballs with their thumbs cant be trusted

[@otakutom17]

One of my favorite tips is to save up as many candies as you can, particularly Weedle, Caterpie, and Pidgey candies, since those pokemon only require 12 candies to level up. Once you've collected enough candies for at least 30+ evolutions (some people go as high as 60+) and a Lucky Egg, use the egg and start evolving them as fast as possible. Each evolution with the Lucky Egg active will give you 1,000 exp, and at lower levels, it means you'll go up 3+ levels in under 30 minutes depending on how many evolutions you did.

[@TheStuntmanx96]

so you guys are saying that downloading an offline map from Google maps doesn't improve anything for Pokemon go?

[@BODenKai]

according to Google....and multiple videos online.......it does not make any difference......except that it takes up more memory

[@Kio_Kurashi]

What T_On3 YaBoi Phimma said.

[@rubberduck8096]

+Kio Kurashi Your comment was incredibly relevant. Thank you for your services.

[@SilverAura]

The yellow flash around the side of the screens is the dodge indicator. Don't wait for the attack to start, just wait until you see the yellow flash. Try to time your attacks to avoid attacking in the middle of a yellow indicator so you can dodge. If you see the pokemon you're fighting stop attacking for a brief moment, resist the temptation to get in extra hits. Wait the extra second because it's charging up it's super attack which will likely do massive damage, even if you're of the opposing type. Wait until you see the yellow, then dodge to minimize the damage received.

[@hcchairmaster]

Why is type matchup a hidden mechanic?

[@rkobewt]

Because it doesn't tell you

[@niyal3385]

Its a hidden mechanic on GO for noobs who don't know type match ups. It someone never played a pokemon game before or didn't know of the slight shifts over the years they wouldn't know what Poison or Dragon types are weak against. More specifically it wasn't explain in the app so that earns it the title "hidden" mechanic.

[@ikjman1]

It is for the people who never played pokemon before.

[@0Regnier]

What these guys said, not to mention some of the type matchups might not be obvious for people not familiar with Gen 6 typing. (this game uses a modified gen 6 model)

[@machadomoy]

You can also zoom in and out using just your thumb instead of pinching for better one handed operation tap the screen once on an "open" area (where there are no obstacles such as stops or gyms) immediatley tap and hold scroll up to zoom out scroll down to zoom in

[@vaultboy-repair6799]

Been told how the type mechanics works shows how many sheep are playing the game because it's "cool" to play Pokemon...... It has always been cool to play Pokemon 😎

[@vaultboy-repair6799]

I'm not picking on people for playing as it can be very addictive to the right consumer however I hate people who hated Pokemon playing Pokemon go.

[@BSon-sj9uc]

+MetalGreek if you actually watched the show as a kid then you would know. ashe always threw his pokrballs in a curve, and in the gameboy game it was always better tp level up your pokemon before actually evolving. so you can lesrn different moves. pokemon master since 87`!

[@ArkangelBAYEM]

Eevee*

[@wirlogx]

Turning Off AR makes the catches easier, saves battery and you can play on the bus, train or back seat on a car (don't drive and play please). You can zoom in and out by double tapping the screen and holding on the second tap. Using the power saving feature on some phones can also save battery.

Once you have a Pokemon in a gym if you click on the shop button in the top right corner will be a gym defender button only active every 20 hrs after use better to have more than one Pokemon. In a gym 1 Pokemon gives you 10 coins and 100 stardust

[@drumlineking07]

to add to the zoom in and out tip: you can double tap and hold and then move your finger up or down. In other words, one finger zoom as opposed to pinch and spread.

[@ADayintheLifeoftheTw]

I love your accent. I also learned a few new things from the guide. Thank you.

[@rnegoro1]

The higher your trainer level, the stronger the pokemon that appears. So you need to level up to like 10 to 15 , to catch stronger pokemons, there are also hidden ratings on your attk/def/hp called IV, it scales based on your trainer level (check the silph road), a strong iv has roughly10-20% higher stats. Another strong determinant of your pokemon is his special abilities which gets bonuses from (STAB normal special attacks with a normal pokemon, water special attacks with a water pokemon) and special skills has a dps rating. If you're lazy in getting stab or evolving till you get a superior special skill, just use normal move psycho cut (Kadabra and Alakhazam) coz it's dps is superb for a normal move.

[@Dethneko]

As far as renaming Eevee's go for evolving them, I renamed an Eevee "Sparky" at least 24 hours before evolving it, closing and reopening the app several times, so can be pretty sure it's been saved on the server and it still evolved into a Flareon. Didn't so much log out as just closed the app like normal, so don't know if that makes a difference.

[@orangjuwcs8345]

It feels good to have known about pokemon for a long time

[@SaiScribbles]

The Google Maps tip was one I never heard before and am definitely gonna put to use!

[@alexnas9634]

im an old school gamer and i knew almost all of these games through playing go and learning as i "GO" ;), Also Catch every Pidgey, caterpie and Weedle as you can for lucky eggs, they are the cheapest to evolve and easy to find, also you can gain A TON of xp if you do this early on, ive seen someone go to 8-15 in a half hour because he just caught every pidgey, caterpie and weedle he could. It sounds like a lot but if your just starting out justr catch every one of those pokemon till you hit lvl 10+ then use the egg and go nuts with evolving all your pokemon, then you can use a random egg on other things like catch new pokemon that you havent caught or catch as much pokemon as you can in that half hour, you can GO to lvl 20 in a week if you do that trick. Also look up pokemon go nests in your area, you might get lucky and find great nests of pokemon in your area

[@lightbulbs3787]

It would help people a lot more if u mention evolving pokemon gives a specific multiplier number. Ex: growlithe cp 100 evolving to an arcanine had a 2.35x, so 100x2.35 =235 is the end result of ur arcanine.

[@joemotive]

A couple things I've noticed while playing: When I evolve caterpie with any cp... Like cp112 or whatever, the metapod it evolves to always has a cp around 50 or so. Also, evolving actually costs one candy less than what it requires. For example, pidgey costs 12 to evolve. If I have exactly 12 candies, I'll still have 1 left over after the evolution.

[@dragonuy5512]

is not that it cost one less candy, instead you get one candy for every evolution. So you still need 12 candies to evolve a pidgey but after it evolves it will reward you 1 candy, plus the XP points for evolving it. I hope this helps

[@MaddysinLeigh]

It's pretty well known to save up your Pokemon to evolve a bunch with a lucky egg activated. However I favorite the ones I plan to evolve when there's enough candies to evolve them, this way I can easily count how many are ready to be evolved and can sort my Pokemon so my favorite are at the top so I don't have to go looking for them.

[@jrreedve2825]

You can also, with your teammates, attack a rival gym together. You'll see the other Pokemon as you duke it out with the Pokemon in the gym

[@ninjacat6941]

this actually helped! I knew most of this, but there are a couple things I learned from this so thanks

[@hihihigo1]

Spinning your pokeball before throwing it also increases your odds of catching time it with the ring and you can get just about anything on the first try with a great ball

[@thevampirekiller123]

Turning AR mode off makes it so the Pokemon doesn't move left and right Rapidly flicking your finger up at the start of a catch makes the Pokemon appear right at your face then once it zooms out you instantly hit it with a ball (good way to get those nice, great, and excellent throws)

[@222047]

Theres no way thats not Rowena. " you were conceived during a winter solstice orgy, and i wasnt exactly taken names!"

[@Dethneko]

As far as holding gyms and pokecoins, far as I've been able to tell it only matters once every 21 hours when it's time to collect, then you only need to ensure you keep the gym long enough to cash in. But I've never been able to hold a gym longer than an hour, so feel free to enlighten me if maintaining control gives bonus coins beyond the once every 21 hours.

[@RFGfotografie]

Put on your lucky egg when evolving your Pokémon or battling gyms, will give you double the EXP which helps you level faster. If you have a bicycle and your as lazy as me, just, drive around :) Way faster and better then just walking. Max 15 km/u! Also, put out the AR-view when you are in certain area's or are trying to catch flying type Pokémon, will make it easier because the background will turn normal game like instead of the stuff behind your camera. That's the tips I've picked up in the past few days.

[@manaphylv100]

You missed the biggest actual hidden mechanic: IVs. They are in this game, too, which means higher CP isn't necessarily better; higher CP could simply mean the Pokémon is at a higher level - another actual hidden mechanic. Generally, you want to keep the Pokémon with the highest HP and CP at the same "upgrade" cost, because you can have, say, a 50 HP/150 CP Zubat with a 1000 cost, and a 51 HP/151 CP Zubat with a 1300 cost, and the one with the lower cost will have significantly better IVs. (It was an exaggerated example, but you should know what I mean.)

[@Deaf_Sound]

just saying, do NOT use power save feature. it is bugged at the moment so that when you turn the phone upside down, yes, the screen goes back like it supposed to but when you pick it back upright, the screen comes on but you can't rotate it or even tap it, it stops recognising touch. so you won't be able to catch the Pokemon you see. this is the case for every android I've seen, might be different with apple os

[@StevoDesign]

As soon as I hear you say "XP Points" I tuned out. THE P STANDS FOR POINTS

[@caseymcvey6715]

walk away from the starter pokemon three times in order to get a pikachu

[@wolfsangelsden]

i have been trying to use the curve ball technique for a while, but for some reason it rarely counts, and yes, i do make sure the stars are happening before i throw. i have also a few times where i have just straight thrown a pokeball, and got the curve ball bonus. The save battery mode tends to stall up my game, where it wont update the pokemon around you.

[@InfernoSaiyan]

"For each of the monsters you defeat" lmaoo

[@RidinWithMyLocsOn]

Here is a tip for you with the maps @4:45 , instead of pinching. Just click on the map once and hold, now if you move the finger up or down you will zoom in/out. Wonder why noone ever talks about this anywhere in guides..?

[@Firafighter808]

I actually tested the naming theory several times and ended up with a few jolteons and flareon named ranier. apparently the naming theory only works if you don't already have that evolution in your pokedex

[@CynicalImpact]

I've had 3 "Sparky's" evolve into Vaporeons, and 2 into Flareons. One Pyro and one Rainer both into Jolteon.

You must type: "Pyro", "Rainer" or "Sparky" for Eevee, it won't work, if you type: "sparky", "rainer" or "pyro". Just tip.

[@michaelneese7535]

you also must close out the game after you rename it

[@GiulioNavarroli]

not always. I've done it w/o re-opening the app

[@boston_8213]

+Michael Neese most of the time but not always

[@osi1238]

+Michael Neese lol no you dont

[@thebootknifer]

I;ve had it work 9x without closing the app. It's just a safety precaution in case what you see on your phone and what is on the server aren't in sync.

[@mattjohnston7299]

tip 1. avoid 70 cp Pidgey and Ratatat because it is considerably harder to catch these Pokemon at that level for some reason, tip 2. when facing a high level pokemon it automatically thows a curve ball just to be safe throw curve balls, tip 3. taping the screen when facing a Pokemon will drop the Pokeball, tip 4 its almost impossible to track pokemon so just head for gyms and stops, you'll find pokemon on the way, tip 5 since it is summer you should bring water bottles(mine is a 1.5 liter bottle witch i tack to my local McDonalds and ask if i can fill it up with water and ice, tip 6 keep calm and catch on

[@BenMeyers]

Really wish I had found this video a couple of weeks ago haha. Still learned a couple of new things from this video though so thanks!

[@bauscheusse]

Can confirm that the Eevee naming thing isn't 100% true - my sister has named two Eevee's 'Pyro' and both evolved into Vaporeons. The move also had no effect either. It's just a 33.33% chance thing that a lot of people have somehow been lucky with.

[@kurtkaeser88]

TIP: Say you're in the car and playing Pokemon Go (not driving) you can get multiple pokestops, when you bring up the the stop and the spin the coin...once all the items pop up hit the little X on the bottom and you will collect all items at once.

[@TOXCzombiclaw]

What you don't mention is that Vaporeon is weighted in CP much higher than Flareon and Jolteon while having better attacks. Why does water gun get a 10 but thundershock and ember are 5s? Also the better move set a pre-evolution pokemon has the worse an evolved version will have. IE a Pidgeotto with wing attack will get steel wing as pidgeot and the opposite is also true.

[@blacksailsweekdays635]

Its because Jolteon has a better typing as of now. If you look at the amount of certain types in just gen 1, there are less pokemon that are super effective against electric compared to water and fire. Vaporeon has weaknesses out of its ass, and Fareon isn't that much different, but if you look Jolteon doesn't have a weakness to the other eeveelutions so there is no reason to make its cp just as high making it easily topple others.

[@blacksailsweekdays635]

yah but from what I've done the uhm jolteon 1200 that I have that evolved from a stronger eevee then my 1500 vaporeon is beating all these water fire type mixes easily.

[@simpleflareon]

2:31 look at the cp of the jolteon Also, say you find a pidgey with 50 cp, then you find another pidgey with 79cp, and you can transfer the 50cp pidgey, and keep the 79 cp pokemon, works with all cp and pokemon

[@MegaSasquatch]

You can close out of a PokeStop after you've received your items rather than popping all the bubbles to collect all the items.
