Tuesday Tips: PokeStops!

[inkstone]

This community was partially inspired by conversations I've had with friends face-to-face and on Twitter about PokeGo. Due to the nature of the game, there's a lot you need to figure out on your own. And some of the things that seem like bugs are actually features because they're either level balancers or trying to encourage you to interact with other players.

So I thought: Wouldn't it be nice if there was a place where tips & advice could be shared? Because while PokeGo has been available here in the US for 3 weeks now, it's still rolling out globally, meaning newer players are always joining. In a nutshell: I want to save people from the confused flailing I went through the first few days of PokeGo gameplay.

So today, let's talk about our community's namesake: POKESTOPS

As you probably know from gameplay, PokeStops are those little landmarks where you can obtain resources. On your map, they're indicated by floating blue cubes that transform into discs when you're within range to interact with them.

Depending on your level, PokeStops drop:

• pokeballs (regular, great & ultra)


• razz berries


• healing potions (regular, super, hyper)


• revive potions


• eggs (2km, 5km, 10km)

( Some tips & tricks )

Anyone have other helpful tips for PokeStops?



*** I like to be clever with titles, hence "Tuesday Tips." But don't let that stop you. If you have helpful tips you want to share with the community, feel free to do so any day of the week!

I'm very new to the game. I have three creatures in my collection. I went to Olive Garden near my house for dinner the other night, and lo and behold, the OG was a Pokestop!

And while I was eating someone put out a lure.
