For staying in gyms…put your Pokémon in the evening. You are more likely to get the overnight hours. If you go in first thing in the morning you are more likely to get kicked out during the day.
My Pokemon randomly get removed from gyms I add a Pokemon to a gym then an hour or two later I get a notification that it was knocked out I go back only to find my Pokemon was the only one knocked out
@@scorpion9063 others probably live right by the gym where they can take it back and put their pokemon back before you even notice you got knocked out alot even just use alt accounts do they can get 50 coins a day then login to an alt beat the gym then put it back in
I have been playing f2p for a year now, reached Lvl 40 in that time and I'm pretty well set at this point. To be honest, it all comes down to patience. If you are patient, you can get EVERYTHING without spending money. Heck, you can even outdamage big spenders in raids and humiliate whales in PvP if you know what you're doing. Then again, if you come to this game expecting quick success and progress, you'll more than likely end up either being frustrated or spending a lot of $$$ on the game.
Yup, patience is very important! The progression is much slower, but if you are consistent, you can definitely achieve everything you want. I've hit Legend twice in Pokemon GO Battle League 😄
do u play every day coz 1 year to get level 40 is very fast i’ve revisited this game and have been playing for like a year maybe probably less and am only level 37 but only play if i’m out, maybe u go out just to play pokémon
@@en20drayt87 of course its a marathon not a sprint...😆 🤣 😂 I tell myself that all the time...right before I start sprinting. I follow the law of numbers and clever motivation 😆 🤣 😂
Eh, sometimes after hitting that hp stacked gym till their all 1 tap just for them to get full healed and have to do it again you really do let em have it, its not every time but you tell me you wanna was 20 minutes fighting the blissey, chancey, slaking, etc,. Gym 9 times
@@bustamanatee4108 well yes alright. But again, the Pokémon defending it is still largely irrelevant if you’ve got someone who’s just gonna troll by continually golden razzing their Pokémon
For reviving Pokémon if you don’t have any revives, power up the Pokémon one or 2 times to gain 1hp, now all you need to use is potions to heal. Also in you mega evolution a “dead” Pokémon they will become fully healed
It's also very overwhelming when not familiar with any terms connected to Pokémon in general. I'm going to need to look up terms to understand many of the tips. My kids will explain, but for those who stumble across your video it will be very confusing 😕
Honestly I've been playing off and on since 2016, but have fallen behind on tricks and stuff, so yes this is super overwhelming, but also super helpful, lol.
great video, even for a 43 lvl me, very good tips and strats for saving the pokecoins also wanted to add (maybe i didn't hear that properly in the vid): if you raided the legendary and encountered it as a shiny, it's a guaranteed 1st ball catch! so you can use regular pinap on that shiny and not even bother on an excellent throw (but you will, cause 2k xp lol)
for players who are starting out and stuggeling to get and keep a lot of golden razzberries, a good tip is to never use them at the first three ball throws, basically, your chances to catch legendary mons increces with the amount of throws
I know this is an old video but my best tip personally is to set an allowance if you take the game seriously. The time saved is way more valuable than the money spent. You can always make the money back, you can't make the time back. Especially if you have to drive any distance to play you can end up paying more in gas just to get half a dollar worth of coins from a gym
There is so much to learn from this video, I feel like you need a separate video for each section of this video to go more in depth. It is very overwhelming
Great video. For evolutions people always sleep on rats, sentret, starly and ledyba. They're so common that you can accumulate lots of candy for them to evolve. Obviously the 12 candy evolutions are in a league of their own, but mixing in these 25 candy evolutions can get you more mass evolution pokemon to evolve and quicker.
On holding shadow pokémon for special events to remove frustration I would like to make the note that to allow the pokémon to be more viable for use before said event you can give it a second charge move and that will make it something that you can potentially use before removing frustration especially if it's something you plan to eventually have to charge moves on anyways.
this is a great, great tip especially if you have a community day coming up for a shadow pokémon and you will not be able to TM away frustration in order to get the community day move, this allowed me to get a shadow Charizard with blast burn and dragon breath even though I hadn't yet gotten to TM away that frustration during a TGR event yet. very underrated tip!
Soooo much information, lol! I’ve been playing for years but only intermittently. Note that my grandsons are older, I play daily. But, they understand the game MUCH better than I. So, this video has opened my eyes to a lot of new information. Thank you!
These are great tips and you can even chain them together to save stardust and maximize XP and Candy. For example, during Halloween events which have double catch and transfer candy bonus, catch wild Haunters with Pinap Berry to get 1 XL candy and 5 x2 x2 = 20 Gastly candy. Trade the Haunter to a friend for candy, they can put the Haunter in a gym at night. Next day when the Haunter gets knocked out they can evolve it for free into a stronger Gengar to defend another gym for XP: your friend earns a candy from evolving Pokemon. Finally transfer Gengar once it is knocked out assuming it has bad IVs.
This worked for me. If two trainers have been playing for more than a year, and each have less than 11 lucky pokemon, trading pokemon that were caught more than one year ago are highly likely (if not automatically) to be lucky trades. If you have the patience, you can be well rewarded with your Legendary trades.
i’m almost a year with zero luckies… and accidentally deleted so many shiny in the beginning 🤦🏻♀️ i know. ok, i know :,c Anyway, i don’t really have much like i just have so many of the same more basic pm besides the raids i’ve done and most of those raids whether it was from 1-5 star raids / mega , most of them are only two stars with not amazing IVs - a lot more that i need to work on.

yoo whats going on looking back on this video in my community we all made a team and now we all getting 50 poke coins and we make the spoofers leave our area because of how much we control the gyms !!! love the video.

Flareon's Community Day Super Power covers an additional 1 type (Normal) offensively. They cover 15(All minus Normal, Poison, and Rock) types defensively. _X-posted Comment_
My best tips are to pay attention to the special events the Bonus XP bonus Candy Bonus Stardust, the Com days, those bonuses are huge and they are what carries you.... And the second tip is take advantage of social Event moves, I only have a few Metagross with the special Event move Meteor Mash and that one is just beast and it's huge it's far and beyond better than other moves and other Pokemon... So pay attention to special event moves.
Damn lucky. Been off pokemon for D and P remake's and you come back with an almost an hour long video! Shit. Glad to see you still making videos man. I'm always available if you need a poke again.
I thought I would watch a few moments of your video and that's it, but you speak with great energy and rhythm. I was engaged and watched the whole thing. Thank you so much for all you shared. I have 1 question: My sirfetched says 30/130 HP. I don't understand why. Most of my pokemon have number/same number HP.
I am a pretty new player and really apreciate these tips, however I will probably forget most of them soon. But I also struggle a lot with living in a small town and having few friends. I also don't want to just reveal where I live to reddit strangers and there aren't any organized raids or gym rotations here so I will have many days without 50 coins and some where 3 pokemon get kicked out for nothing. Without doing those higher raids I don't get good pokemon to defeat GoRocket Bosses, defeat raids myself or be competetive in GoBattle leage. Living in an area with few players really is a struggle and already made me spend some because I just had to increase my bag and pokemon space a bit.
I have been playing for only a year, and I would say that for storage, try to get around 300-400 items spaces for bag storage and at minimum 50 extra pokemon storage
My pokemons lasted 3-4 days in the gyms because very few people play Pokemon Go in my area. Its a blessing and a curse. You dont have to worry people taking down your gym at the same time your pokemon will stuck in a gym for weeks if people dont attack you
I spent 40 minutes once taking down a gym someone was pumping with golden raspberries. they quit first. (it was my home gym and I was on my couch watching TV)
I spent like 10 bucks to upgrade my storage early because i was getting loaded on items instead of pokeballs but I haven’t spent anything else nor do i plan to. I dont regret the 10 bucks
Pokeballs and berries can easily be spun and other items don't take up many space, but if you like collecting, sometimes you don't want to discard many pokemons, and they take more effort to catch than getting items. IMO, after you get like 500 item space, always get Pokemon.
the gym strat for me is def simple cus my son is yellow team and im blue so we just coordinate it to easily get the 50 a day. Thanks for this video btw cus both of us are still fairly new and the more tips the better :)
I got a larvitar from an egg and evolved it instantly as it was 92% IV. But I don't have enough candy for tyrannitar should I use my rare candies. I don't have any rock type attacker above 1500 cp so I'm thinking about it. I need like 50 rare candies
I'm a FTP player and when I say it I mean I spend no money on data or anything and what really annoys me is when a legendary spawns in a gym near me but I can't reach it
If you plan on evolving that way, I would save them up for when we have 2x XP for evolves. Usually happens at least once a month during spotlight hours
I pretty much do F2P. The only time I ever buy anything in game is for special events like GO fest. And even then I spend like $10 just to get a few more passes or whatever.
I have 2 accounts i started the same time to compare paying vs not paying. Not paying I'm at level 31 and since I recently moved next to a gym can basically farm pokecoins daily. My paid account I'm at level 41 but my storage is maxed and have collected almost everything released in the game so far. I could go back and check the bank but I have no doubt ive dropped atleast $1k in 2 years. My f2p is still pretty weak tbh so I've started maxing out my daily trades to increase the IVs of good pokemons. I can only hold 350 still so I have to be picky. All in all paying just adds more freedom and easy access. Having a lot of friends helps too.
Saw your gift location...You in Santa Clarita? I grew up there. I don't live in California but my parents still live near Canyon High.. i visit santa clarita nearly every year. it's a very nice city. I miss that weather! it's supposed to snow where i am today with 40 mph winds! Thanks for the videos and info. This has been helpful as I'm a new player. 👍
What’s a good CP base for raids? Like if I want to power up a Pokémon to ~2500CP to use it in the ultra league, is that a high enough cp that it could be useful in a raid?
Yeah that’s right! 2500 CP Pokémon with matching type moves are solid for raids. A better metric for raids though is to power up to level 30 for the best bang for your buck. Level 30 is really easy to figure out in game because the increase in CP will be cut in half. For example you’ll see +50 CP per powerup on some legendaries up to level 30. Afterwards it will only power up +25 CP. since the cost increases steeply and the payoff is double I often stop here for my raid attackers unless it’s a particular favourite of mine.
I got a larvitar from an egg and evolved it instantly as it was 92% IV. But I don't have enough candy for tyrannitar should I use my rare candies. I don't have any rock type attacker above 1500 cp so I'm thibk about it. I need like 50 rare candies
I play Pokemon GO extensively, but PVP has never interested me. I suppose the Stardust awards mean I would be well served by making a token effort towards it, however. Do you have any videos specifically around how to get started in PVP?
I have a playlist full of GBL commentary battles, along with a video explaining PvP IVs and why they are important, but I don't think I've actually made a beginners guide. I told myself if I hit Legend again this season, I would create more PvP guides; so let me see what I can do 👍
I am not f2p but my gym strategy is to only take gyms once a week and pretty much take 20 of them that day and you will pretty much get knocked out of a gym every day of the week and then by the end of that week you can go back out and get some more and that’s your 50 coin every day
Regarding AR scanning, you can put your finger in front of the camera and it will detect your capillaries as "movement." So you don't actually scan anything and the file is smaller when you upload it.
Be careful. Niantic does not like cheats like that and if you do it too much your account will first get a warning, then a perma-ban. They use the scans as data for wayfarer and their other games, and having junk data is a loss for them. If they notice they'll also ban all your linked accounts.
tfw you have no friends who play near you and no alt devices. pokemon you have always been able to trade over the internet and idk why they wont do it here. it limits so many players
First gen starter spotlight hours, to put it nicely, have been a phugging pain in the az. On top of that I didn’t get a single shiny from spotlights of that month
Starter spotlight hours are probably the worst experience just because Niantic doesn't increase the catch rate temporarily. Even with ultra + razz berry they still break out lol 😅
@@LuckyBunz yeah and a wild Pokemon (the ape fire starter 4th or 5th Gen) I couldn’t catch with a razz berry and perfect curve pokeball. And the cp was 60-80. Can you believe it?
Nice vid!! I'll check out some of your others as well. I'm mostly FTP. I'm rural so learned early on that Niantic cares more about money than the user experience. Everybody should know they aren't good at interaction. They didn't even tell people how to play when the game was released. I have a Messenger raid group so I pay to help out there since it's the circle of remote raid life :) Gym battling: I usually raid through the entire group once if I need 3 battles each. Then I burn through one Pokemon at a time hoping that no one catches on before I beat them the next two battles :) . Is the teaming up on one Pokemon tactic still possible? There was something about going to 20% left and letting their Pokemon attack. Then another trainer starts a battle and does the same. And then a third. Then you can knock the Pokemon out in one go. Thanks for the 40m from a single family residence tip on poke stops. I'll definitely be taking photos with this in mind. Gotcha is fricking awesome. Catches and spins when I can't and I don't have to be a lemming and push a button to do it. When I'm in a pokestop heavy area I switch my autocatcher to spin only and then cull so I have buckets of red pokeballs to autocatch when I'm rural (my home). I'm having trouble getting my buddy to give me repeat hearts. Berry, picture, belly rub every 30 minutes and... nothing.
I have a search tag filled with Pokemon I wanna power up, so I just focus on those investments; but that is definitely a great strategy if you are on a budget!
@@trapz6342 don't think I've every quite gone that long but Mr mime just spent 29 days in a gym. All that and I missed out on coins as another pokemon was knocked out of a gym that day
Spoofers are not allowed. Niantic generally ignores them, but once or twice a year they will do a wave of bans to try to keep them somewhat under control.
Almost everything in this video is on point, just a reminder that everyone should have their own play style and manage their resources like they want to. Also "Best F2P tips" proceeds to recommend you buying a 50-100 dollar autocatcher. :V
Was F2P till last month, didn't use Poffins (excited Poké changes my walks to say the least 😅) -- thanks a Zillion for letting me know there's a F2P way before another 7 years pass me by 😂
Thank you, was there anything specific you think I should have covered in more detail? For general terminology, I have no problem answering any questions in the comments though :)
I went through the video again but because I have done more research since the last time I watched it and understand the game better now, it's a bit harder to tell what would need further explanation. To name a few: are events like Comm Day and Spotlight Hour just a bunch of bonuses (and an extra pokemon to catch in CommDay)? (I've never played through either), what does "weather boosted" mean? (although this may have been explained in-game, I'm not sure), what are IVs? (for a more casual pokemon player), and how do they work in PGO? And finally, the one I actually don't know about yet, what is a special trade? Then there's the word "hundo" that confused me quite a lot when I first watched this, which I had never heard before, but that's probably just because I don't live in an english-speaking country. I managed to learn what it means and what it means in PGO, so now I have even learned non-PGO related stuff :)
@@jurcany special is if your trading a shiny pokemon, a pokemon not registered in one of the players pokedex, or a different another pokemon form one player doesn't have such as a one of the 3 castforms
Don't buy individual items just buy the ultra and adventure boxes its a better deal. The only individual items you can buy should be the 3x remote raid passes. Individual items aren't really worth it. You can buy it but you should just try and avoid it. The boxes are more cost effective
Boxes are almost always more cost effective, but having 1500 PokeCoins on hand all the time isn't super realistic for most f2p players, including myself.
@@LuckyBunz its true very true I can relate. But where possible try to avoid buying individual items if its possible if not purchase the items you need where necessary.

My pokemons lasted 3-4 days in the gyms because very few people play Pokemon Go in my area. Its a blessing and a curse. You dont have to worry people taking down your gym at the same time your pokemon will stuck in a gym for weeks if people dont attack you
I spent 40 minutes once taking down a gym someone was pumping with golden raspberries. they quit first.
(it was my home gym and I was on my couch watching TV)
I spent like 10 bucks to upgrade my storage early because i was getting loaded on items instead of pokeballs but I haven’t spent anything else nor do i plan to. I dont regret the 10 bucks
My 2016 pokemon are still always lucky and I have 18 lucky pokemon now. Just did one yesterday for a shiny lucky ho-oh.
When you open your gift instead of spamming all the way out get to the friend page and slide to the left for the next persons gift to open😊
Thank you for all of these tips!
Pokeballs and berries can easily be spun and other items don't take up many space, but if you like collecting, sometimes you don't want to discard many pokemons, and they take more effort to catch than getting items. IMO, after you get like 500 item space, always get Pokemon.
I love the barrage of info that you are unloading. This should be like a mandatory primer for intermediate casual play. 🤜🤛🤝
the gym strat for me is def simple cus my son is yellow team and im blue so we just coordinate it to easily get the 50 a day. Thanks for this video btw cus both of us are still fairly new and the more tips the better :)
That's awesome! Honestly a bit jealous you two can be so efficient 😆
Happy you enjoyed the video!

don't sleep on easy 2x trade evolve xp from phantump and pumkaboos also haunter by saving them and evolving at this months 2xp evolve event...
Informative channel keep up the good work have just subscribed👍
I got a larvitar from an egg and evolved it instantly as it was 92% IV. But I don't have enough candy for tyrannitar should I use my rare candies. I don't have any rock type attacker above 1500 cp so I'm thinking about it. I need like 50 rare candies
Wait for Terrakion coming in November and use your rare candy on that instead
I'm a FTP player and when I say it I mean I spend no money on data or anything and what really annoys me is when a legendary spawns in a gym near me but I can't reach it
Would it be wise to just evolve pokemon just before transferring? (assuming you have enough candy, and they are not meta relevant)
If you plan on evolving that way, I would save them up for when we have 2x XP for evolves. Usually happens at least once a month during spotlight hours
I pretty much do F2P. The only time I ever buy anything in game is for special events like GO fest. And even then I spend like $10 just to get a few more passes or whatever.
been playing casually for abt 6 months, am level 34 1/2. is this any good?
I have 2 accounts i started the same time to compare paying vs not paying. Not paying I'm at level 31 and since I recently moved next to a gym can basically farm pokecoins daily. My paid account I'm at level 41 but my storage is maxed and have collected almost everything released in the game so far. I could go back and check the bank but I have no doubt ive dropped atleast $1k in 2 years. My f2p is still pretty weak tbh so I've started maxing out my daily trades to increase the IVs of good pokemons. I can only hold 350 still so I have to be picky. All in all paying just adds more freedom and easy access. Having a lot of friends helps too.
Saw your gift location...You in Santa Clarita? I grew up there. I don't live in California but my parents still live near Canyon High.. i visit santa clarita nearly every year. it's a very nice city. I miss that weather! it's supposed to snow where i am today with 40 mph winds! Thanks for the videos and info. This has been helpful as I'm a new player. 👍
Ty for all the tips well finsh it wen I get home from work
awesome, every (new and older) player needs to watch this !
33:22 the good old times...
Nice video, thanks....... FYI the poke storage space is now 4500
Yeah, I put it on screen around 2:46 haha 😅
I find it hard to get pokeballs and waste like 10 poke balls catching 1 Pokemon any tips on getting more Pokemon?
should i keep 5 ho ohs? i already have one shiny should i transfer the rest?
What’s a good CP base for raids? Like if I want to power up a Pokémon to ~2500CP to use it in the ultra league, is that a high enough cp that it could be useful in a raid?
Yeah that’s right! 2500 CP Pokémon with matching type moves are solid for raids.
A better metric for raids though is to power up to level 30 for the best bang for your buck. Level 30 is really easy to figure out in game because the increase in CP will be cut in half. For example you’ll see +50 CP per powerup on some legendaries up to level 30. Afterwards it will only power up +25 CP. since the cost increases steeply and the payoff is double I often stop here for my raid attackers unless it’s a particular favourite of mine.
Gooooood job bro❤️
if i transfer a pokemon from go to home will it give me the 2x transfer candy if i do it on a 2x transfer candy event?
I got a larvitar from an egg and evolved it instantly as it was 92% IV. But I don't have enough candy for tyrannitar should I use my rare candies. I don't have any rock type attacker above 1500 cp so I'm thibk about it. I need like 50 rare candies
I might... I would definitely walk it
I play Pokemon GO extensively, but PVP has never interested me. I suppose the Stardust awards mean I would be well served by making a token effort towards it, however. Do you have any videos specifically around how to get started in PVP?
I have a playlist full of GBL commentary battles, along with a video explaining PvP IVs and why they are important, but I don't think I've actually made a beginners guide.
I told myself if I hit Legend again this season, I would create more PvP guides; so let me see what I can do 👍
I am not f2p but my gym strategy is to only take gyms once a week and pretty much take 20 of them that day and you will pretty much get knocked out of a gym every day of the week and then by the end of that week you can go back out and get some more and that’s your 50 coin every day
Regarding AR scanning, you can put your finger in front of the camera and it will detect your capillaries as "movement." So you don't actually scan anything and the file is smaller when you upload it.
Woah that is very interesting, I will need to try that out!
Be careful. Niantic does not like cheats like that and if you do it too much your account will first get a warning, then a perma-ban. They use the scans as data for wayfarer and their other games, and having junk data is a loss for them. If they notice they'll also ban all your linked accounts.
Ty for a lovly and helpful video om RUclips
👍
Imagine paying for anything in pokemon go just to endgame it earlier
tfw you have no friends who play near you and no alt devices. pokemon you have always been able to trade over the internet and idk why they wont do it here. it limits so many players
First gen starter spotlight hours, to put it nicely, have been a phugging pain in the az. On top of that I didn’t get a single shiny from spotlights of that month
Starter spotlight hours are probably the worst experience just because Niantic doesn't increase the catch rate temporarily. Even with ultra + razz berry they still break out lol 😅
@@LuckyBunz yeah and a wild Pokemon (the ape fire starter 4th or 5th Gen) I couldn’t catch with a razz berry and perfect curve pokeball. And the cp was 60-80. Can you believe it?
Nice vid!! I'll check out some of your others as well.
I'm mostly FTP. I'm rural so learned early on that Niantic cares more about money than the user experience. Everybody should know they aren't good at interaction. They didn't even tell people how to play when the game was released.
I have a Messenger raid group so I pay to help out there since it's the circle of remote raid life :)
Gym battling: I usually raid through the entire group once if I need 3 battles each. Then I burn through one Pokemon at a time hoping that no one catches on before I beat them the next two battles :) .
Is the teaming up on one Pokemon tactic still possible? There was something about going to 20% left and letting their Pokemon attack. Then another trainer starts a battle and does the same. And then a third. Then you can knock the Pokemon out in one go.
Thanks for the 40m from a single family residence tip on poke stops. I'll definitely be taking photos with this in mind.
Gotcha is fricking awesome. Catches and spins when I can't and I don't have to be a lemming and push a button to do it.
When I'm in a pokestop heavy area I switch my autocatcher to spin only and then cull so I have buckets of red pokeballs to autocatch when I'm rural (my home).
I'm having trouble getting my buddy to give me repeat hearts. Berry, picture, belly rub every 30 minutes and... nothing.
I exclusively use lv1 meltans for my the power up tasks, infinite candy and lowest cost possible.
I have a search tag filled with Pokemon I wanna power up, so I just focus on those investments; but that is definitely a great strategy if you are on a budget!
Awesome tutorial, thx a lot!
My pleasure!
The bigger issue i have for gyms is there arent alot of players in my area so my pokemon are just stuck in gyms
The longest my Pokémon go was in the gym was 31 days
@@trapz6342 don't think I've every quite gone that long but Mr mime just spent 29 days in a gym. All that and I missed out on coins as another pokemon was knocked out of a gym that day
Have you heard about the guy with a Pokemon stuck on the Great Canyon for over a year?
wow, 3 raidpasses was once 250 .. now they 525 ,, pfff greedy niantic
enjoy the journey you say, 16 m/s wind with rain/snow for 4-5 months straight there is.
Damn Finished this very long video. But very informative
I never see the free weekly remote raid pass- is it still available nowadays? I only see the free daily box
The free weekly remote raid pass was removed, and replaced with various premium items each week. Boxes can still be redeemed every Monday
Free to play means free to play. If you spend a single penny on the game, you aren’t F2P. Doesn’t matter what you spend it on.
Great video, thanx mate!
My pleasure!
Thank you snooooo much!❄️💙
I’m new to pokemon go started 4 days ago but watching RUclips it seems like a lot of players use spoofers are they allowed
Spoofers are not allowed. Niantic generally ignores them, but once or twice a year they will do a wave of bans to try to keep them somewhat under control.
Great work bud , thanks 😃
👍
Take a shot every time he says link in the description, good luck making it to the end :)
Almost everything in this video is on point, just a reminder that everyone should have their own play style and manage their resources like they want to.
Also "Best F2P tips" proceeds to recommend you buying a 50-100 dollar autocatcher. :V
Was F2P till last month, didn't use Poffins (excited Poké changes my walks to say the least 😅) -- thanks a Zillion for letting me know there's a F2P way before another 7 years pass me by 😂
Very helpful 💪🏾💪🏾
The Purest Pogo Player! Thank you for all the great content!
My pleasure, thanks for watching! 😄
So I've learn today that trading and Pokemon Genie are OP
Poke Daxi has a recent video claiming that AR mapping does not remove pokestops
i hate spoofer with 10 account dominate atleast 10 gyms at my area. they kick out non spoofer player almost immediately 😢
Man this is a great video
Overall great video but there is a lot of terminology that some less experienced players won't know about.
Thank you, was there anything specific you think I should have covered in more detail?
For general terminology, I have no problem answering any questions in the comments though :)
I went through the video again but because I have done more research since the last time I watched it and understand the game better now, it's a bit harder to tell what would need further explanation. To name a few: are events like Comm Day and Spotlight Hour just a bunch of bonuses (and an extra pokemon to catch in CommDay)? (I've never played through either), what does "weather boosted" mean? (although this may have been explained in-game, I'm not sure), what are IVs? (for a more casual pokemon player), and how do they work in PGO?
And finally, the one I actually don't know about yet, what is a special trade?
Then there's the word "hundo" that confused me quite a lot when I first watched this, which I had never heard before, but that's probably just because I don't live in an english-speaking country. I managed to learn what it means and what it means in PGO, so now I have even learned non-PGO related stuff :)
@@jurcany special is if your trading a shiny pokemon, a pokemon not registered in one of the players pokedex, or a different another pokemon form one player doesn't have such as a one of the 3 castforms
Is the video really 50min long or it's a yt glitch?
I just use an alt account to knock myself out of the gym daily, before I did that it could be days before I got 50 coins.
Don't buy individual items just buy the ultra and adventure boxes its a better deal. The only individual items you can buy should be the 3x remote raid passes. Individual items aren't really worth it. You can buy it but you should just try and avoid it. The boxes are more cost effective
Boxes are almost always more cost effective, but having 1500 PokeCoins on hand all the time isn't super realistic for most f2p players, including myself.
@@LuckyBunz its true very true I can relate. But where possible try to avoid buying individual items if its possible if not purchase the items you need where necessary.
@@andellascevero7291 Definitely 👍
Are Super Rocket Radars stackable?
Damn, I've got the biggest challenge here. I'm trying to be free to play and not have to walk ANYWHERE. Haha
