Pokemon Go is a location-based augmented reality game developed by Niantic for iOS and Android devices. In the game, players use a mobile device's GPS capability to locate, capture, battle, and train virtual creatures, called Pokemon, who appear on the screen as if they were in the same real-world location as the player.

After establishing a game account, the player creates an avatar by selecting a hair, skin, and eye color; style; and outfit. Once created, the avatar is displayed on a map using the player's current geographical location. Features on the map include PokeStops and Pokemon gyms. PokeStops provide players with items, such as eggs, Poke Balls, and potions and can be equipped with items called lure modules, which attract wild Pokemon. Gyms serve as battle locations for team-based king of the hill matches. PokeStops and gyms are typically located at places of interest.

As players move within their real world surroundings, their avatar moves within the game's map. Different Pokemon species reside in different areas of the world; for example, water-type Pokemon are generally found near water. When a player encounters a Pokemon, they may view it either in augmented reality (AR) mode or with a live rendered, generic background. AR mode uses the camera and gyroscope on the player's mobile device to display an image of a Pokemon as though it were in the real world. Players can take screen shots of the Pokemon they encounter either with or without the AR mode activated.

During an encounter with a wild Pokemon, the player may throw a Poke Ball at it by flicking it from the bottom of the screen up toward the Pokemon. If the Pokemon is successfully caught, it will come under the ownership of the player. Factors in the success rate of capture include the right force, the right time and the type of Poke Ball used. After capturing a wild Pokemon, the player is awarded two types of in-game currencies: candies and stardust. The candies awarded by a successful catch depend on what evolutionary chain a Pokemon belongs to. A player can use stardust and candies to raise a Pokemon's "combat power" (CP). However, only candies are needed to evolve a Pokemon. Each Pokemon evolution tree has its own type of candy, which can only be used to evolve or level up. The player can also transfer the Pokemon back to the Pokemon professor to earn one more candy and create room for more Pokemon. The ultimate goal of the game is to complete the entries in the Pokedex, a comprehensive Pokemon encyclopedia, by capturing and evolving to obtain the original 151 Pokemon. All Pokemon are displayed with a combat power. A Pokemon's combat power is a rough measure of how powerful that Pokemon is in battle. Not all Pokemon of the same species will have the same CP. Generally, as a player levels up they will catch Pokemon with higher CP.

Players earn experience points for various in-game activities. Players rise in level as they earn experience points. At level five, the player is able to battle at a Pokemon gym and join one of three color-coded teams (red for Team Valor, blue for Team Mystic, or yellow for Team Instinct), which act as factions within the Pokemon Go world. If players enter a Pokemon gym that is controlled by a player that is not part of their team, they can challenge the leader to lower the gym's "prestige". Once the prestige of a gym is lowered to zero, the player will take control of the gym and is able to deposit one Pokemon to defend it. Similarly, a team can upgrade the prestige of a gym under their control by battling the gym leader. Each time a gym's level is raised, another player from the same team can deposit one of their Pokemon.

POKE BALLS

Poke Balls are a trainer's main tool, and are used to try and capture Pokemon. You'll be given 50 to start with, and you can either find more by interacting with PokeStops, leveling up, or purchasing them from the Shop in batches of 20, 100, or 200 in exchange for PokeCoins.

---

INCENSE

Incense can be used to lure Pokemon out of hiding and increase the rate at which you can find Pokemon hiding in the wild for at least 30 minutes of use. To begin you'll be given two Incense, and more can be bought from the Store in a batch of either 1, 8, or 25 in exchange for PokeCoins.

---

EGG INCUBATOR

The Egg Incubator is used in Egg Hatching for the Pokemon Eggs you can find in the wild in such places like visiting PokeStops. When an Egg is placed in an Egg Incubator, the player must travel a certain distance tracked by the phone's GPS before the egg will hatch. Only one incubator is given at the start of the game and can be used as many times as needed, but more fragile versions to incubate multiple eggs can be bought in the Store or gained from leveling that will break after 3 uses.

---

LUCKY EGGS

Lucky Eggs, unlike regular Pokemon Eggs, are used as consumables that increase your overall experience gain by double the amount for a period of 30 minutes. You can purchase them on the Shop in batches of 1, 8, or 25 in exchange for PokeCoins.

---

LURE MODULE

A Lure Module is a more sophisticated version of incense that attracts Pokemon to a particular PokeStop for a period of 30 minutes. Not only is it more effective, but it also targets the PokeStop not just for the player, but all players interacting with the PokeStop during that period! It can be bought from the Shop in groups of either 1 or 8 in exchange for PokeCoins.

---

BAG

Your Bag is where you store all of your non-Pokemon Items, which include Pokeballs and the like. To start with, your bag can fit up to 350 different items (including your camera and incubator). To get more space for your bag, you need to buy a Bag Upgrade from the Shop to fit 50 more items per upgrade.

---

POKEMON STORAGE

Your Pokemon Storage is where you keep all of the Pokemon and Pokemon Eggs you find in your travels. When you begin the game, your Pokemon Storage can hold up to 250 different Pokemon, and 9 Pokemon Eggs. In order to hold more in storage, you need to buy a Pokemon Storage Upgrade from the Shop to fit 50 more Pokemon per upgrade.

---

REVIVE AND MAX REVIVE

Revive will help a fainted Pokemon recover with half of its maximum HP. If you grab a Max Revive, the Pokemon will get all of its HP back. Note that Pokemon can only faint in Gym Battles againt opposing gym teams. Training against your own will never result in fainted Pokemon.

Revives can be found at PokeStops after the trainer has reached level 5, and a few are given each level as rewards.

---

POTIONS

Restore your Pokemon back to health after battling at the gyms with Potions. Each potion type is unlocked at a different level. Potions can start being found in PokeStops after level 5, and will also be given as the trainer increases in level. Super Potions will start appearing in PokeStops after level 10, and will also be given as level 10+ rewards.

Potion - Restores HP by 20 points.
Super Potion - Restores HP by 50 points.
Hyper Potion - Restores HP by 200 Points.

---

RAZZ BERRY

Feed Razz Berries to Pokemon you're trying to catch and it'll be easier to catch on your next throw. Razz Berries begin appearing at PokeStops after Level 8, and a few are given as level rewards for every level after.

---

GREAT BALLS AND ULTRA BALLS

Once you reach the appropriate levels, you'll unlock access to Great Balls and Ultra Balls. Unlike the standard Poke Balls, these Poke Balls cannot be purchased in the shop but will be given to you as a reward for leveling up. You can also get them randomly at PokeStops.

Great Balls will start appearing after level 12 in both level rewards and PokeStops. Ultra Balls will start appearing after level 20 in both level rewards and PokeStops.

CAMERA

This item is automatically given to you at the start of your adventure, and allows you to easily photograph your encounter with a Pokemon in the wild. Just tap the camera icon during an encounter.

Turn Off AR to Make Capturing Easier

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
Capturing Pokemon with AR on is part of the fun, especially when the pocket monsters pop up in inappropriate places, but it's way easier to capture Pokemon without worrying about aiming your phone camera. And strangers, for the most part, don't like having phones pointed at them. Why not turn off AR and relieve them of social anxiety? You can do that by tapping the AR toggle when you're capturing wild Pokemon. Pokemon will then sit perfectly still on a grassy field, though they will occasionally hop or gyrate to make capturing difficult. But at least this way you can focus on just the Pokemon, and not worry about reorienting the camera or suffering the death stares of real-life NPCs.

CP Explained

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
CP simply means Combat Power, and it's the number above each wild Pokemon. It indicates their battle prowess, and as you gain more experience points (or XP) and level up as a Trainer, the CP of the Pokemon you find will become higher.

In an individual Pokemon's stat screen, you'll see a semi-circle at the top. The part that's bold with a dot at the end indicates that Pokemon's current maximum Combat Point potential. Some Pokemon have higher maximum CP than others. For example, an intimidating, spiky Pinsir will likely be stronger than a tiny, wormy Caterpie. But, if you find a 50 CP Pikachu, that doesn't mean it's stronger than a 20 CP one. For efficiency's sake, though, you'll probably want to Power Up the 50 CP Pikachu with Candies.

Whether you Power Up or Evolve a Pokemon first is up to you. Some believe powering up a Pokemon before evolving it results in even higher CP, but there's no confirmation of that yet. But, your Pokemon's max CP rises along with your Trainer level, so don't neglect those curve balls and be sure to visit Pokestops whenever you can!

Check the Moves

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
You might catch a few different Staryus that are all around the same CP, but take a look at the two moves each Pokemon has when you catch it, and the power level of each move. If you catch a 98CP Staryu and a 105 CP Staryu, and the slightly weaker one has Water Gun and Psybeam, while the stronger one only knows how to Tackle and Body Slam, go for the better move set.

Next to each move you'll also see how much damage it does, along with a blue power meter for the second (more powerful) move, which indicates when your Pokemon's power move is ready to rock in a battle. Better moves, more power, better Pokemon. You can always make up some CP points later.

Egg Hatching


[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
While visiting Pokestops, you'll probably pick up some eggs, from which Pokemon hatch. But first, you need to incubate them, and then walk around. To do that, go to your Pokemon collection, and in the upper-right you'll see an Eggs tab. Tap that, choose an egg, then an incubator. Then you walk around and wait for the hatch.

Here's some advice: Don't waste your time incubating the 2K (kilometer) eggs unless you really want more low-level Pokemon (though that isn't a bad way to get a starter you missed or snag yourself a Pikachu). The 5K eggs can net you some decent ones like Cubone, Porygon, Machops, or Sandshrew. The 10K eggs get you more powerful, uncommon ones like Snorlax.

You can even hatch eggs if you're on a bicycle, bus, or train. The app just registers that you're moving; it won't actually care that you're not walking. So, you can hop on your bike and keep the app open to not only get some exercise, but hatch some sweet Snorlax bros as well. Another great way to incubate and hatch eggs is to go for a run!

To pick up more incubators, you can either buy them outright in the real-money Shop or by getting lucky at Pokestops, though they are rare. You also gain more incubators and other more rare items as you level up. And remember: Pokestops replenish every 5 to 10 mins.

There are three types of eggs in the game: 2km, 5km and 10km.
