By now, plenty of "Pokémon GO" players are aware of the numerous guides, tips, and tricks that have appeared on the internet since the game rolled out in July. Tips from how to efficiently catch Pokémon using Poké Balls to how to be successful at Gym battles were offered to users. Here are the best "Pokémon GO" tips and tricks that every player must know.
Being good at throwing Poké Balls is a useful skill in "Pokémon GO." Poké Balls are precious items and they mustn't be wasted on missed throws.
Parent Herald previously reported that the "The L Throw" is one of the best Poké Ball throwing techniques out there. It involves pulling the Poké Ball to the screen's left side, flinging it upwards along the edge, and releasing your hold when your finger reaches around the height of the Pokémon you're trying to catch.
"The L Throw" with Curve Ball is another guaranteed Poké Ball saver and increases the likelihood of landing in the center of the radar ring surrounding the Pokémon. To do "The L Throw" with Curve Balls, Pokémon GO" players must spin the Poké Ball first before moving it to the left and throwing it just like "The L Throw."
Evolving Eevee into Vaporeon, Jolteon, or Flareon in "Pokémon GO" doesn't have to be by chance, according to a previous Parent Herald report. To evolve the cute Pokémon into Vaporeon, Jolteon, or Flareon, simply rename Eevee as Rainer, Sparky, or Pyro before evolving it.
When it comes to using Lucky Eggs, "Pokémon GO" players should mass evolve while the item is active for 30 minutes. This trick helps users level up faster.
Players should also force-quit the app immediately after the evolution begins and re-launch it right away. With this, users can save time by skipping the long process of the evolution/Pokédex registry animation, Geek Cosmos advised.
Niantic rolls out soft bans that prevent "Pokémon GO" players from catching any Pokémon, acquiring items from PokéStops, or joining Gym battles. Soft bans, which last from 30 minutes to 12 hours, occur when the game detects location spoofing.
To get out of a soft ban quickly, "Pokémon GO" users can use the QuickSpin tool, which requires a computer and runs on Windows. Those with a Mac device can use a virtual environment such as those by Parallels Desktop to run the tool.
The new Terms of Service for "Pokémon GO" warns of permanent bans for those using GPS spoofing, bots, and other similar cheats. If you receive a permanent ban, the one thing you can do is to appeal directly to Niantic via this official form.
