Pokémon Go tips, tricks and cheats guide - Part 5

Access the game's many sub-menus faster

Instead of tapping the Pokéball at the bottom of the screen to bring up each menu item, you can swipe it in different directions to take you to corresponding sub-menus instead:
  • Swipe Left for Pokémon and Eggs
  • Swipe Right for Items
  • Swipe Up briefly for Shop
  • Swipe Up more for Pokédex

The greater the contest, the more you'll help defend your Gym

If you arrive to a Gym in Pokemon Go with the same allegiance as yours, you can raise its Prestige by performing practice battles with one of your Pokémon.

If you want fast Prestige gains for your Gym, then the lower the CP the better. So instead of rolling out your most powerful creatures, hold them back and play smart with Type advantages using weaker Pokémon instead.

High HP Pokémon make for better Gym defenders

When it comes to deciding which Pokémon to leave at a Gym for battling in Pokémon Go, while you might automatically think offense is the best defence, Pokémon who are defending a Gym get a double HP bonus. It means that creatures with the highest HP (or Stamina) in the game - such as Lapras and Snorlax - are then much tougher to take down, and make for the perfect defenders.

Players have figured out which these Pokémon are - as well as those with the highest Attack, Defence and overall stats

The higher your Trainer level, the better (and rarer) Pokémon will be

Trainer level is possibly the single most important stat in the game; the better it is, the stronger CP the Pokémon you encounter will have, and the higher your chances will be for discovering rare Pokémon. Each new level also gives you items, including more powerful Pokéballs and Potions, so it's worth looking to gain XP whenever you can.
