General Amuyea's Tips for Pokemon Go and more

Amuyea · July 10, 2016

I can now confirm that smaller is better not the other way around! If the pokeball hits inside the big circle you get nice and 10 exp. If pokeball hits inside medium circle you get great and 50 exp. And lastly if your pokeball hits inside a small circle you get excellent and 100 exp!!!

Another tip is you can do curve balls by spinning the pokeball around then throwing it. Supposedly it increases catch rate. Can't really confirm this though.

Dang, I will try it then

- You can have Pikachu as a starter by walking around for about 2-3 minutes when the other starters pop up

- You unlock Super Potions at level 10

- You unlock Great Balls at level 12

- You unlock Hyper Potions at level 12

- You unlock Ultra Balls at level 20

- Evolving gives your Trainer a decent amount of EXP too

- Pokémon encounters change due to day- nighttime cycle

- You can desposit your Pokémon on a gym of your team when there is another trainer's already on it to make the gym harder to capture

- Smaller towns and villages only have common Pokémon of normal type

- You can earn coins from daily gym bonuses, 10 coins for each gym you own

- When evolving Eevee, there's a higher chance to get a specific evolution form depending on the surroundings (water, forest, mountains)

- Dodging in gym battles has not yet proven to be very efficient

- Wild Pokémon with ??? CP have a have a higher CP than your strongest Pokémon

- In the later game you'll find random max. evolution Pokémon so don't waste your stardust on weak Pokémon you're not going to use later

- If you considered spending money on the game early, buy lucky eggs because they will boost your EXP massively

- Pokéstops reset quickly so you can stay in its area to get another bonus

- Do NOT place your strongest Pokémon in a gym

- Do not try to capture a gym solo. Group up with a bunch of people to save potions and other important items you'll need later

- Shiny Pokémon ave a star next to their name

Thanks

Dodging has proven effective for me. I look for the pattern of when the opponent Pokemon attacks and how many hits I can get in before getting attacked. For example my Pokemon can get 2 hits before getting hit so I tap twice then quickly dodge and repeat

Also a new tip for finding a lot of pokestops is to visit a cemetery. I know it sounds weird but that's where I have found a lot of pokestops.
