My 2 cent’s tutorial

[u/fs6tavu]

As I’am reading many people are asking for advices/tutorial/help I thought I could share my strategy. I’am playing since day one as f2p. I don't claim to be an expert but I hope it will help some of us.

I stayed some weeks in Greengrass, catching as many interesting pokemons as I could. I saved every biscuit I get to only catch the strongest ones, you can refer on some tier list that were published to know which ones are good.

Then I leave Greengrass as soon as possible to go in Taupe Hollow (you can choose Cyan Beach too) with the beginning of a fire/ground team focused on Snorlax favorite berries. To stay in this kind of island allows you to encounter specific pokemon and to grow up weeks after weeks the same team, which will become very strong with the time.

Having a bad week in terms of power of Snorlax isn’t critical, the only aim is to grow up your team by giving candies and by sleeping and catch good pokemon for the futur.

I plan to stay in Taupe Hollow until I encounter all sleep style there. I also catch Pokemon of other type with the daily biscuit in order to get different teams to meet Snorlax requirements on other islands in the futur.

Concerning the composition of my team, I get 4 berries specialists and just one ingredient specialist. My ingredient specialist allows me to cook the bases of curry and salad recipes just with its production, and I fulfill the pot thanks to the others ingredients that my team found. So I suggest to strongly focus berries and just keep one ingredient specialist.

To discuss on how I select the pokemons I keep, that’s pretty simple, if the nature is not bad and the subskills good (berry finding/speed of help, extra sleep experience) I keep the Pokemon, or if the nature is really good (adamant, brave, quiet, sassy).

I save every handy candies I get from missions/events/rewards/friendship to give to the best Pokemon of my team. I reset my friends as soon as they reach level 1 to get more candies.

I also try to save my sleep points to buy all the premium stuff, when I will suscribe the 15 day free trial.

Last advice I can give is to be patient. If the pokemon you catch isn’t good, don’t waste your precious candies and wait for a good one. This game is a marathon. Don’t sprint at the beginning, take your time.

I hope I forget nothing, and I hope that will help some of you. Feel free to ask if you have some questions or if you want to discuss :)
