“You can covert 100 regular candies into 1 XL candy”

– Search for multiple types of Pokémon by using commas in your search (e.g. “Shadow, Purified”).
– Every species of Pokémon has the same base stats. IV’s from “Appraisal” add up to 15 points to each of those base stats.
– Receive a guaranteed XL candy from trading Pokémon caught or hatched long distances from one another.
– When selecting Pokémon for a raid, hold down on their avatar in storage to see what moves they have.
– Some Pokémon have visible differences based on their gender.
– You can pin your own postcards to count towards your Scatterbug medals (up to 3x daily).
– Edit: Removed “Retain charged energy by not swiping during a charge move’s animation.”

I saw a post the other day where someone mentioned a way to skip the gift animations but I couldn’t find it when I went back to try. Anyone know how to do that?

Once a month, there is a community day which features a certain Pokémon. Check the news tab to see when the next community day is.

Removing a friend after you got your xp from Best Friends makes you an asshole.

A shiny from a raid is a guaranteed catch.
You can search mega3 to find all of your max mega Pokémon…

They could remind us of all the strengths and vulnerabilities of each Pokemon type. I can never keep track of the less obvious ones

If you ever do a raid or gym, just remember to not use any of the recommended Pokémon we put in your battle party.

To quick catch a pokemon, drag the berry icon up so it enlarges and hold your finger on the screen. Throw a ball and release the berry icon which should allow you to exit the catch animation at the top left.

Don’t let your kids use your master ball (hasn’t happened to me but seen a lot of posts)

When catching a Pokemon which attacks a lot (eg raid pokemon), do the following.
1. Hold down the ball until the ring is where you want it. Let go.
2. Wait for the pokemon to attack.
3. Half-way through its animation, throw the ball

While choosing pokemon for raids, Use “@” followed by attack type to see all your pokemons that has that attack, like fighting, fire etc

Tip: Darkrai is an easy raid boss. No need to leave the lobby last second because there’s only five people. Same for most raid bosses.
