Pokemon

1. Be aware of rustling grass

Actually catching Pokémon is a lot trickier in Pokémon Go. Look out for rustling grass as you walk, as it's the best indicator of a Pokémon wandering close by.

2. PokéStops in more popular areas are better

Well PokéStops, those blue triangular markers on the map, work in a similar way. Although you might get some useful items at the PokéStop down your road, heading to ones in well-known locations or busier city centres means you're getting all the best kit.

3. Play at different times of the day

It turns out the Pokémon that appear in Pokémon Go are dependent on a number of different factors, including time of day. So if you play at various times during the day, you'll discover that even in the same area you can get different types of Pokémon appearing.

4. You can still name your Pokémon

One of the fan-favourite features of traditional Pokémon games is that you can name your Pokémon. Well, don't fear, because you can still do that in Pokémon Go.

You can either do it as soon as you catch your new Pokémon, or just go into the Pokémon section of the menu and edit your pocket monsters' names there.

5. Don't forget to trade in duplicates

There's no point hoarding a load of the same Pokémon. If you want to level up or evolve your Pokémon faster, you should trade any duplicates you have back to Professor Willow. He'll give you candy when you do, which are really important for evolving your Pokémon and nabbing yourself some powerful allies.

6. Collecting lots of the same Pokémon is actually important

You might dismiss a nearby Pidgey because you've already got one in your Pokédex, but it's actually a good idea to catch multiple of the same critters because of the candies you'll get.

For every Pokémon you catch you'll be gifted three or so of that Pokémon's particular flavour of candy. For example, you get three Pidgey candies per Pidgey, and another if you trade your Pidgey in to Professor Willow.

To evolve any Pokémon you're going to have to feed them their specific candy type. So for a Pidgey to evolve to a Pidgeotto, it's 12 Pidgey candies. But to evolve from Pidgeotto to Pidgeot, it's a whopping 50 candies. Better start catching those Pidgeys.

7. Each Pokémon has different strength

Before you start trading in every Rattata you've ever collected, make sure you're keeping the most powerful version in your pocket. Each Pokémon has a CP score above it, which makes a huge difference to how powerful it is.

So make sure to trade in the ones with a lower CP score, otherwise you'll find yourself vastly outranked when you hit the gym.

You can use the candies you collect to boost a Pokémon's CP score too, which is useful for the top evolutions.

8. Catching Pokémon is easier with AR turned off

Yes, yes, yes we know. This is an augmented reality (or AR) game - that's the whole point. But, bear with us, because it's actually easier to catch Pokémon with the AR turned off.

When you've found a new PokéFriend in the wild and you're presented with the Pokéball throwing screen, hit the AR switch in the top right hand corner.
