HOW TO ALWAYS WIN IN POKEMON GO

 

ALWAYS WIN IN POKEMON GO 

While there’s no way to guarantee an **always win** scenario in **Pokémon GO** due to its competitive nature and reliance on real-world factors like weather, timing, and randomness, there are plenty of strategies you can use to improve your chances of success in different aspects of the game. Here’s a comprehensive guide to help you perform better in **Pokémon GO**, whether you're battling in **Gyms**, participating in **Raids**, taking on **Trainer Battles**, or hunting for **wild Pokémon**.













### 1. **Optimize Your Pokémon’s Strength (CP) and IVs**
   To perform well in **battles**, whether in **Gym battles**, **Trainer Battles**, or **Raids**, the strength of your Pokémon is crucial. Here's how to maximize it:

   - **Max Out Your Pokémon's CP**: Ensure that you’ve powered up your Pokémon as much as possible by collecting **Stardust** and **Candy**. Higher CP Pokémon generally perform better in battles.

   - **Choose Pokémon with High IVs**: Pokémon with **high Individual Values (IVs)** are more powerful at the same level. Use the **Appraise** feature in the game to check the IVs of your Pokémon, or use **IV Checkers** (third-party apps) to determine the best ones to power up.

   - **Evolve Pokémon Strategically**: Evolving the right Pokémon can help you maximize CP, so keep an eye on **evolution materials** and evolve your strongest Pokémon when you have enough resources.

   - **Use Evolution Items**: Some Pokémon require special evolution items (like **Metal Coat** for Onix → Steelix) or specific weather conditions to evolve. These items can be farmed through PokéStops, battles, and other in-game activities.

### 2. **Mastering Gym and Raid Battles**
   **Gym battles** and **Raids** are key parts of Pokémon GO, and winning them requires strategy.
   - **Know Pokémon Strengths and Weaknesses (Type Matchups)**: Always use Pokémon that have a **type advantage** over your opponent. For example, **Water-type** Pokémon are strong against **Fire-types**, and **Electric-types** are strong against **Water-types**.
     - For **Gym Battles**: Use the best counters based on the defending Pokémon’s type. You can check databases or use online calculators to plan your counters.
     - For **Raids**: Prioritize using the right counters against the Raid Boss (e.g., if you’re fighting **Lugia** (a Flying/Psychic-type), bring **Rock** or **Electric-types**).
     
   - **Use the Best Moves**: In addition to having strong Pokémon, it's essential to equip them with the most effective moves. Focus on **Charged Moves** that suit your Pokémon’s type (e.g., a **Fire-type Pokémon** should use **Fire Blast** or **Flamethrower**).
   
   - **Dodge and Timing**: In raids and gym battles, you can dodge the opponent's charged moves by swiping left or right when the attack is coming. Learning the timing of attacks is key to minimizing damage while maximizing your offense.

### 3. **Train Effectively for Trainer Battles**
   In **Trainer Battles**, you face off against other players, and strategy matters greatly.
   - **Select a Balanced Team**: When building your team, include a variety of types to cover a range of opponents. A balanced team might consist of a **Fast Attacker** (like **Gengar** or **Togekiss**), a **Tank** (like **Melmetal** or **Snorlax**), and a **Counter** for specific threats (like **Machamp** for Fighting-types).
   
   - **Fast Attacks Matter**: Always use Pokémon with **fast charged moves** that generate energy quickly for powerful finishing attacks.
   
   - **Switching Tactics**: Learn how and when to **switch** your Pokémon during a Trainer Battle. Switching to a Pokémon that can counter your opponent’s moves is critical in outsmarting them.
   
   - **Use Shields Wisely**: In Trainer Battles, each player has **two shields** to block charged moves. Don’t waste them on weak attacks, and save them for your opponent’s strong charged moves.

### 4. **Catch Pokémon Efficiently**
   Catching Pokémon is the bread and butter of Pokémon GO, and you can improve your efficiency with the following tips:
   - **Use Razz Berries, Ultra Balls, and Master Balls**: Increase your chances of catching Pokémon by using **Razz Berries** to make Pokémon easier to catch or **Ultra Balls** for rarer Pokémon. **Master Balls** are extremely rare, but they guarantee a catch.
   
   - **Aim for Excellent Throws**: Try to land **Excellent Throws** (the small circle that appears inside the colored circle) to improve your catch chances. Use the **AR+ mode** to get a better angle for throws.
   
   - **Use Curveballs**: Throwing **curveballs** adds extra catch chances, so always try to aim for this.
   
   - **Check for Shiny and Rare Pokémon**: Keep an eye out for rare and shiny Pokémon. These may require specific events or weather conditions to appear, so always participate in **community days** and **special events**.

### 5. **Take Advantage of Events and Community Days**
   Niantic regularly hosts **events** and **Community Days** that boost in-game rewards, offer special Pokémon spawns, and provide opportunities to earn extra resources.
   - **Community Days**: Participate in **Community Days** to catch rare or shiny Pokémon, and take advantage of **special moves** that are only available during these days. It’s also a great way to farm **Evolutions** for high IVs.
   
   - **Seasonal and Special Events**: Keep an eye on Pokémon GO’s calendar for limited-time events that offer rare Pokémon, increased spawn rates, and bonus rewards (like increased Stardust, extra candy, or higher shiny rates).

### 6. **Optimize Your Walking and Stardust Farming**
   Stardust is a crucial resource for powering up Pokémon, and there are several ways to farm it efficiently:
   - **Walk Regularly**: Complete **Field Research Tasks** and **Special Research** (like those from Professor Willow) to earn Stardust, items, and encounters with special Pokémon.
   
   - **Use Incense**: Incense attracts Pokémon to you, which increases your chances of catching rare or high-IV Pokémon while walking around. You can also use **incense during special events** for boosted spawns.
   
   - **Use Star Pieces**: During events or while farming Pokémon, use **Star Pieces** to increase Stardust rewards for a limited time. This can make a huge difference when catching multiple Pokémon.

### 7. **Team Up for Raids and Events**
   **Raids** are more challenging than solo gameplay, but teaming up with friends and fellow trainers increases your chances of success.
   - **Join Raid Groups**: Use local or online communities to find **Raid groups**. This is especially important for **legendary raids** or tough bosses.
   
   - **Coordinate with Friends**: For larger raids, team up with friends, and share your **Friend Codes** to form raid groups. This will also allow you to maximize **Friendship Bonuses**, which give you extra damage in raids.


### 8. **Leverage the Best Tactics in PvP (Player vs. Player)**
   In **PvP** battles (like the **Go Battle League**), successful players often leverage:
   - **Meta Pokémon**: Learn the **meta** (most effective tactics available) for PvP. Certain Pokémon (like **Altaria**, **Swampert**, and **Azumarill**) are strong in the current PvP meta, so knowing which ones to level up will give you an advantage.
   
   - **Use Charge Move Priority**: Some Pokémon have charge moves that deal significantly more damage, so make sure you’ve chosen moves that maximize your damage in battles.








### 9. **Regularly Check the Shop for Deals and Items**
   - **In-Game Store**: Keep an eye on the in-game shop for discounts on **Poké Balls**, **Raid Passes**, **Star Pieces**, and other useful items. Occasionally, there are **special bundles** that provide great value for players.
