If you’re new to Pokemon Go, then you might be wondering how to get started. Luckily, it’s pretty easy to catch your first Pokemon. Just follow these simple steps:
1. Download the Pokemon Go app from the App Store or Google Play Store.
2. Once the app is installed, open it up and sign in with your Google account.
3. After you’ve signed in, you’ll be asked to create a Trainer avatar. This is the character that you’ll play as in the game.
4. Once you’ve created your Trainer, you’ll be given the option to choose which team you want to join. There are three teams to choose from in Pokemon Go: Team Instinct, Team Mystic, and Team Valor.
5. Once you’ve chosen your team, it’s time to start catching Pokemon! You can do this by tapping on the Pokemon that appear on the map.
6. To catch a Pokemon, you’ll need to throw a Poke Ball at it. Swipe your finger across the screen to throw the ball, and make sure it hits the Pokemon.
7. If you’re successful in catching the Pokemon, it will be added to your Pokedex. Congratulations, you’ve just caught your first Pokemon!
8. Now that you’ve caught your first Pokemon, you can start exploring the world around you to find more. Keep an eye out for Poke Stops, which are locations where you can collect items like Poke Balls and eggs.
9. You can also battle other Trainers at Gyms. These are locations where one of the three teams holds dominion. If you defeat the defending Pokemon, you’ll be able to take over the Gym for your team.
10. That’s all there is to getting started in Pokemon Go! Just keep exploring, catching Pokemon, and having fun. Soon enough, you’ll be a pro Trainer in no time.
The different types of Pokemons and how to catch them
There are currently over 150 different types of Pokemon in the game, and more are being added all the time. While you can technically catch any Pokemon that you see on the map, some are much rarer than others. If you’re just starting out, then your best bet is to catch as many common Pokemon as possible. These are the Pokemon that you’ll see most often, and they’re usually pretty easy to catch. As you advance in the game, you’ll start to encounter rarer Pokemon.
To increase your chances of catching a rare Pokemon, there are a few things that you can do. First, make sure to use a Lucky Egg before you start catching Pokemon. This will double the experience that you earn for a period of 30 minutes, which means you’ll level up faster and have a better chance of encountering rare Pokemon.
Gyms and battling other players
Gyms are locations where players can battle each other in Pokemon Go. There are three different teams in the game (Instinct, Mystic, and Valor), and each team controls a different Gym. If you want to take over a Gym for your team, you’ll need to defeat the defending Pokemon.
To battle another player, tap on their Trainer avatar and then tap the “Battle” button. During the battle, you’ll be able to use up to six of your Pokemon. The goal is to defeat all of the opponent’s Pokemon, or to reduce their hit points (HP) to zero.
