Pokemon Go Tips and Tricks With Tutorials
Of all the strange systems at play in the smash-hit Pokémon GO, the battling might be the strangest. Any Pokémon game revolves around catching, training, and fighting Pokémon, and theoretically, fighting is the whole point of those first two steps. Pokémon GO, however, handles combat very differently from the rest of the games, and it can be a bit hard to figure out how to get a hang of things and start taking gyms. Here are a Pokemon Go tips to get a leg up on your opponents when it comes to gym battles in Pokémon GO:
Pokemon Go Tips and Tricks
So, the basics Pokemon Go tips and tricks there are three things you can do in a fight. You can tap to use your Pokémon‘s basic attack, and you can swipe left or right to dodge. As you use your normal attack, you’ll notice some blue bars filling up below your health. When you fill up a bar, you can hold down on the screen to use a special attack. Got it?
The first and most important thing is to understand how the Pokémon types work. On a basic level, some types of Pokémon are strong against other types and weak against others: water is strong against fire but weak against electricity, for example. There’s a lot to keep track of there, but there’s a handy chart for piecing it together. A lot of it is common sense, but some types, like fighting, may not be as intuitive.
You’ll do well just with that basic idea, but it’s a bit more complicated than that. Note that your Pokémon has a type both for itself and for its attacks: so while my Growlithe is classified as a fire Pokémon, his standard attack is “bite,” which is classified as dark. So Growlithe will be vulnerable to water as a fire Pokémon, but he’s only going to get a fire bonus for attacking while using his special attack, flamethrower. His standard attack gets a bonus against flying and rock. It’s a bit complicated, so get to know a few of your Pokémon well and make sure you’re keeping a relatively diverse bench. You get to bring six Pokemon into a gym fight, so try to time things so that your monsters will show up facing whatever they’re strongest against (you can always switch mid-stream, as well). Play the types right and you can punch above your weight, CP-wise.

The second thing you’ll want to do is get a hang of the dodge mechanic. As a warning, it’s not very well implemented. It’s sticky, hard to use and poorly explained. Oh well — maybe Niantic will fix it later on. Basically, you can swipe left or right to move your Pokemon around the arena, and you can actually avoid quite a lot of attacks.

My best recommendation would be to just go fight at friendly gyms and make liberal use of the dodge until it feels a bit more natural: I’ve found that I do well just alternating attacks and dodges, but to get fancier, watch the enemy’s animations and try to time your dodges to avoid all of them. After you dodge, attack once and wait until you’ve dodged the enemy’s attack to dodge again. It’s about patience, and if you do it right, you can win Pokemon Go without taking a hit.
