The SIX Most Common MISTAKES You Need to Avoid in Pokémon GO!

There are plenty of common mistakes that players will make while playing Pokémon GO. Regardless if you are a veteran player or someone who just started playing the game, avoiding these mistakes could vastly improve how you play. Even if you are fully aware of the most essential aspects of Pokémon GO, you will still fall behind if you do not correct these bad habits.
Thus, I wanted to compile all of these common mistakes into one video so that I can shed a spotlight on each and every one, so that players are aware of them and they could avoid them completely. Honestly, I myself am guilty of committing these mistakes everyday, so I do recognize that improving as a player in Pokémon GO is a growing process and doesn’t happen overnight. But still, if you find yourself committing these mistakes, then you too should work on improving in these areas as well.

Pokémon is Copyright Gamefreak, Nintendo and The Pokémon Company 2001-2016
All images and names owned and trademarked by Nintendo, Niantic, The Pokémon Company, and Gamefreak are property of their respective owners.
Pokémon Go is a 2016 augmented reality (AR) mobile game developed and published by Niantic in collaboration with The Pokémon Company for iOS and Android devices. A part of the Pokémon franchise, the game is the result of a collaboration between Niantic, Nintendo and The Pokémon Company. It uses the mobile device GPS to locate, capture, battle, and train virtual creatures, called Pokémon, which appear as if they are in the player's real-world location. The game is free to play; it uses a freemium business model and supports in-app purchases for additional in-game items. The game launched with around 150 species of Pokémon, which had increased to around 500 by 2019.
Pokémon Go was released to mixed reviews; critics praised the concept, but criticized technical problems. It was one of the most used and profitable mobile apps in 2016, having been downloaded more than 500 million times worldwide by the end of the year. It is credited with popularizing location-based and AR technology, promoting physical activity, and helping local businesses grow due to increased foot traffic. However, it attracted controversy for contributing to accidents and creating public nuisances. Various governments expressed concerns about security, and some countries regulate its use. By early 2019, the game had over a billion global downloads, grossing over $3 billion in revenue. The game also had over 147 million monthly active users as of May 2018.

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

[@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

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).

i just find it so hard to catch all pokemon with my 10 pokeballs that i have left and pokestops not refilling enough of those to make up for it. additionally my space is only at 600 since i only got back to the game after years of hiatus

[@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

[@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.

[@sky.lover13]

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

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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@Inspirator_AG112]

I typically hoard Stardust, but I have powered up Team GO Rocket _type-only_ counters for good/optimal type-coverage.

[@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.

[@jwace]

You nailed that last point. I have spent maybe 40 bucks buying coins on this game and while yes I don’t have as many lucky eggs or have my bag or mon space maxed……I have enough for me to play and advance. I save my money for the traveling to events (pre COVID)

[@f9und971]

Two of my biggest mistakes personally was transferring my shiny scyther and using a charge tm and getting rid of a legacy move 😩

[@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.

[@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'.

Im going really heavy on gym battling. But i use all coins on updating item bag storage. And one every now and then on pokemon storage. 1150 item storage aint nearly enough. Feels good having pokeballs 👍 Im guilty of having bad raid teams. Still dont have any kind of full raidteam being lvl 35. Its a hard grind.

[@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.

but yeah, there's the thing that some items may become really important suddenly because of changes in game mechanics and game kinda teaches you to be in fear of this always. it's not like 1 or 2 times when game just starts to spend revives/potions without giving any back like crazy, or when I need evolution items or berries for a mission. it's always getting ready to the worst, while trying to defeat daily challenges with space.

Number 5 hit home all too much man. This is my biggest pet peeve in PoGo. I always tell people to make pre made teams. Seems that no one ever listens. The curse of Heatran a while back was awful.

[@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.

[@gkline8288]

very usefull. But I don't take over too many gyms it's not as necessary as the others. So many gyms there are plenty of spots to take without beating a gym.

Good point about wrong storage managment... when you have literally THOUSANDS of item/pokemon slots...

I disagree with mistake 3 🤣 i level up with raids and dont want 7km eggs

[@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?

[@grosgato]

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.... :)

[@pewgaming3945]

I used so much rare candy on regigigas but it’s useless and now I don’t have enough rare candy to power up my shadow mewtwo

[@judahbaggerman2294]

I have 54 pokemon and i have some i want to evolve so i put a symbol next to them to remember and i have some pokemon with high cp (1000+) but its so messy and dont know how to sort

The thing is if you follow #1 you might burn through your balls. Not everybody can get to enough pokestops or gyms to do this

[@KingBr33ch]

That’s why gifts are amazing lol

[@xxomega702buzzalini8]

I have a spoofer problem in my gyms. I just keep knocking them out stand at the gym looking for other humans no one around they knock me out I knock them out and let them wait 19 mins on an empty gym...

[@CountJinsulaOfficial]

Its egregious. Hopefully Niantic does more to stop it.

[@cheafflaff1573]

what if i have a pokemon that has stayed in the gym since i won and none one has retaken it??

[@b.a.wijaya7793]

I love grinding type game. That's why #1 isn't the problem for the start. Storage management is my main problem since i can't afford to spend a dime in the game and i'm too weak to attack gym. Not anymore though. God gave me Shadow Mewtwo (15/12/15) to slaughter the gym.

[@arthurmorgan2989]

Do you have any strong pokemon you can spare a new player? Im in the same situation

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.

I'm a shiny collector also a 100iv trainer if they lower then 2* I get rid of them even some trash 3 stars I get rid of them I always have pokeballs ultraballs and great balls candies I stack on xl candies as well as long as fast tm and charged tm I stack on I barely ever use berries besides pinap silver pinap golden berries I get rid of the regular berries or nanab berries unless I need them for field researches then I use them that only. I send gifts and open gifts everyday I stack up on stardust and only power up my 100% and the ones I think are good and are battle league quality. I barely use eggs if I could get rid of them I would absolutely hate the egg hatching system and think it's the biggest scam this game has to offer.

[@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.
