In the vast landscape of mobile gaming, Pokemon GO stands as a reigning champion, captivating smartphones globally. For aspiring trainers eager to claim the title of ultimate Pokemon master, we present this comprehensive guide: Pokemon Go 5 tips to start, aimed at providing essential strategies and insights to kickstart your journey.

1. You can Get Pikachu as Your Starter Pokemon

Did you know you can kick off your journey with Pikachu as your first companion? Instead of choosing from the classic trio of Bulbasaur, Squirtle, and Charmander, opt for Pikachu. Simply walk away from the initial Pokemon choices, and Pikachu will appear, ready to join you on your adventure.

2. Master Pokestops for Essential Items

Pokestops are vital landmarks scattered across the landscape, offering essential items for trainers. Spin the Pokestop logo to collect items like Pokeballs, Revives, Potions, Pokemon Eggs, Candy, and Stardust. Remember to visit Pokestops regularly to keep your inventory well-stocked, as they have cooldown timers and provide random items.

3. Utilize Lucky Eggs for Helpful XP Boosts

The Lucky Egg item is a game-changer, granting trainers a 30-minute double XP boost when activated. Use this to your advantage by evolving Pokemon during this time. With the Lucky Egg active, each evolution yields double XP, making it an invaluable tool for leveling up quickly. Lucky Eggs can be obtained through purchases or as rewards during your adventures.

4. Enhance Encounters with Lure Modules and Incense

To increase your chances of encountering wild Pokemon, utilize Incense and Lure Modules. Incense boosts Pokemon encounters for 30 minutes, while Lure Modules attract Pokemon to a specific Pokestop for the same duration. Strategically use these items to intensify Pokemon interactions in your vicinity.

5. Accumulate Candy for Evolution

Candy is the key to unlocking a Pokemon’s evolutionary potential. Collect specific candies for each Pokemon species to evolve them into stronger forms. For example, evolving a Pidgey requires accumulating Pidgey candies. Manage your candy resources diligently to evolve your Pokemon effectively.

These five tips serve as the foundation for your journey as a Pokemon trainer, propelling you towards the coveted title of the world’s greatest Pokemon master.
