You keep kicking the streets of your town or city, looking every time for Rarest Pokémon -and above all powerful- that help you fight in a gym. However, your battles often end in tragedy Although fighting is open to everyone, there are some tips or tricks to ensure success in battle. And it is that Pokémon GO has some aces up its sleeve that you may not yet know. Here are five of them:
Union make force
Pokémon GO is a social game, both in its aspect virtual, as in everything that involves meeting other unknown trainers at a specific point on the street What you may not know, if you haven't already, is that you can raid Pokémon gyms with friends Of course, as long as they belong to theSame team This makes it much easier to face opponents with a large number of Combat Points Two low CP Pokemon can take down a large high CP Pokemon. So meet your friends before you engage in an impossible fight.
Practice makes a master
To compete in the Pokémon Gyms you must know the battle techniques At the moment, Pokémon GO only has three moves On one side is thenormal attack, achieved by performing single taps on the screen. Do it as fast as you can to avoid wasting time between attacks. On the other hand, there is the special attack of each Pokémon This is achieved by making a long press on the screen. Of course, it requires having previously completed the energy bars with simple attacks and will leave your Pokémon defenseless while you press. Finally there is the motion to dodge All you have to do is slide your finger left or right to make our Pokémon jump in one direction or another, avoiding some attacks. In the latter case, you should watch for flashes on the screen indicating that the enemy Pokémon is going to attack to apply this technique.If you're nimble enough, you might be able to take down Pokémon much more powerful than your own.
Strengths and weaknesses
As with the GameBoy games, the Pokémon of Pokémon GO They continue to cater to different types: Water, Grass, Rock, Flying, Poison, Normal, etc Each of them shows strengths and weaknesses against the others. All this in a balance that also affects their attacks. Thus, a water Pokémon with water attacks will be much more effective against a Pokémon of Fire than against a Pokemon Grass-type. Issues that are usually based on logic and that should be taken into account in each fight to change Pokémon and get super-effective attacksthat subtract more amount of life from the enemy.
