The Pokémon GO game is associated with a long list of myths that many players believe to be true but are unsubstantiated by the rules of the game. game. Even so, it is common for trainers to resort to these actions in Pokémon GO thinking that they can be beneficial.
Take note of all these gaming myths you can dismiss!
Myth 1: Not leaving the raid after catching the Pokémon can benefit the rest of the team members
This is one of the most widespread myths about Pokémon GO. However, it is not true. The actions of the first member of the raid team have no influence on those of the other teammates.
When a team member manages to capture the gym's leader Pokémon (for example, Legendary Pokémon) before the others, they have the option to end the raid. Many coachesthink that if this person clicks the OK button, he reduces the chances of catching the other team members.
This belief has no foundation or confirmation from Pokémon GO, so it doesn't matter if the trainer who finished first exits the raidwhile the other members continue to attempt the capture.
Myth 2: Using any type of berry helps catch wild Pokémon
If a Pokémon is especially difficult to catch, it makes sense to use the raspberry berries firstThe other types of basic berries (banana and pineapple) have very defined functions: pineapple berries help you get more candy and bananas reduce the movement of the Pokémon.
However, many Trainers still try their luck with any type of berry if they run out of raspberries. In that case, if the Pokémon is finally allowed to be caught, it will be purely coincidental: it does not mean that the banana or pineapple berries have increased the odds.
Myth 3: Clicking on the Pokéball helps to capture the Pokémon after launch
Surely more than once you have been tempted to press the Pokéball many times after a launch. But we're sorry to tell you that Pokémon GO already establishes from that moment if the Pokémon will be captured or escaped, and has nothing to do with whether or not you press the Pokéball in those seconds
The movement process you see on the screen is just an animation of the game that always appears, no matter if you press or not.
Myth 4: Tapping the screen quickly or swiping multiple times helps to dodge in combat
As you know, sliding your finger across the screen is the only way to dodge enemy attacks in Pokémon GO battles. However, there is no point in doing it faster or more times, as it has no influence on the final result.
On the other hand, dodge moves are one of the main complaints from trainers. Swiping the screen has been shown to be inaccurate or even ineffective, making it very difficult to get rid of enemy attacks in Pokémon GO battles.
Myth 5: Playing Pokémon GO in the car or on the bus helps you add miles to hatch eggs
We have bad news for you: after a certain speed, the Pokémon GO game assumes that you are not walking and stops counting your progress to hatch the eggs. Also, that distance won't help you rack up candy with your partner Pokémon either
However, this detail should be qualified. If you move in the city, there are certain sections of the route with traffic, or near the traffic lights, in which the vehicle slows down, and in which Yes, some meters are accumulated for the game.
