INTRODUCTION

Do you want to be the very best at Pokémon GO, like no one ever was? Well congratulations, because by reading this guide, you are well on your way to being a Pokémon master, equipped with all the necessary skills, knowledge, and Poké-know-how to excel at the wildly popular mobile game. We are glad to have you among our ranks.

Here is what capturing Pokémon looks like.

So what is Pokémon GO exactly? Simply put, Pokémon GO is an app for your smartphone, where you are able to capture and battle monsters in a new game based on the hugely popular Game Boy game, trading cards, and anime series. Pikachu, Jigglypuff, and Squirtle are back to say hello.

The purpose of the game is to collect Pokémon wherever you are and battle them at gyms. The game uses the Google map on your phone as your playing field. If you’re strolling on the beach, you will likely encounter lots of Water-based Pokémon. If you’re hiking through the mountains, you’ll likely encounter Rock- or Ground-based Pokémon. Because the game is based off of your current location, you’re encouraged to explore new areas to find different types of Pokémon to capture, allowing you to see a side of your town or city that you’ve never seen before.

But before you start your journey to being a Pokémon GO master, you’re going to have to learn the basics of the game. Here, you’ll learn how to catch Pokémon, what evolving a Pokémon means, what PokéStops are, how to battle and win at gyms, and more.

Your typical, fierce gym battle.

With this handy guide, the world of Pokémon GO will be yours for the conquering. What are you waiting for, let’s GO.

CHAPTER 1

GETTING STARTED

The purpose of Pokémon GO is to catch lots of Pokémon and use them to battle other people’s Pokémon. You do this by exploring different areas, seeing what monsters are there, and capturing them for your collection. The game will look differently if you’re sitting at your own house or driving around. You don’t really win at Pokémon GO, you just try to do as much as you can and have as much fun as you can along the way.

You play Pokémon GO with your cell phone, where the game is ever changing with new maps and Pokémon to catch based on wherever you go. If you go to New York City, you’ll see a different map than if you were in the suburbs. If you went to the beach, you’ll see a different map than if you were in the mountains.

There are going to be some terms that you encounter in Pokémon GO and in this book that you should
