Now millions of users are online looking for Pokémon GO tips and tricks. Why is that? It's simply because Pokémon GO brings the franchise to smartphones and even tablets. With that being said, here are some basic tips and tricks on Pokémon GO that will definitely work for Android and iOS users.
Looking for Gyms and Trainers

How to Throw a Pokeball
Throwing a Pokeball is a mandatory game mechanic. When throwing Pokeballs, try to get as close to a quick and accurate fling towards the Pokémon as possible, paying attention to the green targeting circle around the creature.
Where to Find PokeStops
Pokémon GO gives you a free stash of PokeBalls early on, but for you to keep getting items for free, you've got to track down a PokeStop. PokeStops randomly surface on your map automatically. When you're near them, their marker will change, allowing you to spin it and collect all the treasures that it offers. Take note: PokeStops are usually local landmarks.
Use Poke Radar to Find the Best Pokemon
PokeRadar users report from the players that already live in your area to help you locate where specific creatures in the game are found around your neighborhood.
You Don't Have to Walk Around to Catch Pokémon
You got that right! Pokémon GO uses information shared with it via Wi-Fi connections and GPS sensors to learn your exact location. It's how it knows that you are actually near the location of the Pokémon you're trying to catch, along with playing the game the way it's intended.
