Pokémon GO, the popular game Niantic and Nintendo based on the popular saga Pokemon for mobile devices in which we must go out to hunt creatures, improve their abilities and fight in the gyms, they do not stop receiving numerous and important unpublished contents through constant updates, 2018 being one of the years with the most new features. Therefore, we offer you a selection of the best Pokémon GO tricks for this year after our first delivery coinciding with its launch in 2016. Below, a selection of the best Pokémon GO tricks, whether you are already an experienced high-level player or if you have just started with such a popular application for mobile phones and tablets iOS and Android.
The best Pokémon GO tricks
Different evolutions of Tyrogue
As was the case with Eevee, we can choose the evolution of Tyrogue between three different Pokémon before evolving it if we ask a gym leader who values to our Tyrogue, with the following results:
- Hitmontop- Best stat for your health points.
- hitmonchan- Best stat for your defense points.
- Hitmonlee- Best stat for your attack points.
Curved Pokéball Launch
Thanks to this technique, we can catch Pokémon more easily and get a few more experience points with each catch through the curved throws of Pokéballs. To do this, and once on the Pokémon capture screen, we must keep pressure on the Pokéball and start moving your finger in circles as fast as possible. After a few moments, the Pokéball will begin to glow and we will have to throw the ball in a straight line with an angle of approximately 45 degrees.
Thus, if we move our finger counterclockwise, the Pokéball will come out shot from the right to the center; or from left to center if we do it the other way around. We will have to practice this technique a lot until we completely master it, but once we achieve it it will be easier to catch Pokémon, even the hardest ones to get.
The most powerful Pokémon
Pokémon GO creatures have three main statistics, which determine the power of a specific Pokémon, such as health points, the attack points and the defense points. Although these values are assigned randomly, we can always ask our team leader to rate a specific Pokémon. Thus, if you rate a Pokémon positively, it means that that particular creature is quite powerful; On the other hand, if the evaluation is not very positive, it would be better for us to look for another Pokémon as a reference.
Below we offer you the 10 most powerful Pokémon in each category, so if we focus on offering candies to these types of Pokémon in particular, we can form a truly powerful team.

Quickly level up as a trainer
Raising our trainer level will be one of our main objectives in Pokémon GO, since it will allow us to gain access to all its content as we play, such as certain objects, functions or the possibility of improving our Pokémon based on candy, at increasingly higher levels. Currently the maximum level is 40, but to reach it requires hundreds of hours of play and kilometers traveled. Luckily, we can speed up this process with the following recommendations:
- Make better throws: With each Pokémon captured we will accumulate experience points with which to level up, although we can achieve more if we perform certain tasks such as good, great or excellent throws, capture with a single throw or with the already mentioned curveball technique.
- Use the Lucky Egg item: With the Lucky Egg we can obtain double the experience during the 30 minutes after using it in all the tasks we accomplish, especially if we are going to play for all that time and evolve several Pokémon that we have waiting. We can get Lucky Eggs in the in-game store or at PokéStops.
- Catch many Pidgey: It is one of the most common Pokémon in the world, so if we catch many, we can evolve the creature in its different stages to accumulate many experience points.
- Participate in Raids: These are the battles that provide the most experience points, even more so using a Lucky Egg.
Community Day
Every month the call is celebrated Community Day, a certain period of time in which a specific Pokémon appears more than usual, the perfect time to get hold of a specific type of creature and its different evolutions. So far, Pokémon creatures such as Pikachu, Dratini, Bulbasaur, Charmander and Mareep, among others, have starred in Community Days.
Get more medals
Can get medals thanks to the goals that we achieve by playing Poémon GO, such as walking a certain number of kilometers, capturing certain types of Pokémon, catching large Magikarps or small Rattata or participating in a certain number of battles, among many others.
Capture gyms at off-peak hours
To access the best objects in the game we must spend coins, premium money from the app that we can obtain buying through micropayments or conquering gyms. Thus, if we capture gyms, most likely someone will come shortly after to defeat us to earn more coins. Therefore, it is advisable to capture gyms at off-peak hours or, at best, search for secluded gyms, in order to remain as leaders of those gyms longer and accumulate more premium coins.
