7 Pokémon Go tips you need right now

Step up your game with these Pokémon Go tips:

1) Save yourself the money and take down gyms.
It's well known that Pokémon Go has in app purchases built into it. However, there is a way to earn Pokecoins without paying a single cent! If you tap 'shop the game' it will take you to the menu where you can buy in game items with real money. But at the top there is a shield with a number that stands for how many Pokémon you have in gyms (defender bonus). You can click to redeem that for Pokecoins in multiples of 10. Be careful though, you can only do this once every 21 hours.

2) Work together with friends and teammates to take down gyms faster.
Something familiar that has happened to all of us: you go to take down the gym and the CP of the Pokémon are way too high. However, if multiple trainers battle the gym at once, the gym will go down faster since there are more Pokémon hitting the gym.

3) Impossible to track your favorite pokemon? Not anymore!
While the next update is in development which pins nearby Pokémon onto your map, it seems that Pokémon hunting is impossible. However, using the location of the pokemon on the nearby tab can help greatly.

4) Choosing your Eeveelution is as easy as watching the show!
Here's something the show fans may get. In order to get your favorite Eeveelution, you will have to nickname your Eevee the same names of the Eevees from season 1 episode 40 of pokemon – "The Battling Eevee brothers." Then, tap the pencil icon next to the word "Eevee" to change its name. If you want a Flareon, name the Eevee "Pyro." If you want a Jolteon, name the Eevee "Sparky." If you want a Vaporeon, name the Eevee "Rainer."

5) More powerful Pokémon are within your reach if you wait!
Sure, getting that Kingler first thing is very exciting, but the CP of your krabby should be higher before you evolve it. As you're leveling up you'll be encountering Pokémon with higher CP, which means the evolution will be much more higher. Only evolve the Pokémon if you think you will not find a higher CP in the wild.

6) Powering up should also wait.
Stardust, the material you collect as a reward for catching Pokémon, is a precious resource. Once you do #5 and have high CP Pokémon, you should use that stardust to make them even more powerful.

7) Hatch eggs to get Pokémon you haven't even seen before!
Hatching eggs can serve a dual purpose. It's a great way to go outside and get some fresh air and exercise, as well as to get some Pokémon you can't normally get where you live. Of course the amount of distance that eggs need to hatch are measured in kilometers so if you want that egg hatched you'd better walk.
