"Pokémon GO" is a game currently being played and celebrated by millions of people from around the globe. Even though "Pokémon GO" developers Nintendo and Niantic Labs intended the game to have an authentic gameplay similar to original Pokémon games developed by Nintendo before, some players can't help but use cheats or tips and tricks to get ahead on the game. Since "Pokémon GO's" release four months ago, many third party apps and websites that offer convenience and an easier gameplay to "Pokémon GO" players have become available in the market.

One third party app considered as a cheat is PokeSweep. It is an Android app that notifies "Pokémon GO" players of nearby Pokémon even when their phone's display is turned off, helping players conserve their phone's battery while minimizing hunting efforts.

Another tool that "Pokémon GO" players use to make Pokémon hunting easier are trackers. Apps such as PokeVS, PokeFast, PokeRadar and FastPokemap enable players to easily locate Pokémon within a set radius. Some trackers even allow locating specific types of Pokémon along with the creature's duration in a certain area. Through the use of such trackers, "Pokémon GO" players will be able to effortlessly evolve their Pokémon and earn Pokémon Candy as well.

Aside from third party apps, desktop emulators along with Global Positioning System (GPS) spoofs are also being used by some "Pokémon GO" players today to hunt for Pokémon. Using desktop emulators to run mobile apps along with GPS spoofs will allow "Pokémon GO" users to hunt for Pokémon without even leaving the comfort of their homes. Even though this cheat makes Pokémon hunting very easy, it is not something players can rely on in the long haul since Niantic is getting strict with location spoofing.

On another note, there are a couple of tips available for "Pokémon GO" players that they can follow in order to beat gym defenders. As noted by Mobilenapps, the secret to defeating gym defenders is knowing their weaknesses.

Dragonite for one, can be conquered by using Wigglytuff, Clefable, Cloyster, Dewgong, Gyarados, Golem, Jinx and Lapras, since Dragonite's weaknesses are Ice, Fairy, Dragon and Rock type. Lapras, on the other hand, can be beaten using Magneton, Omastar, Arcanine, Poliwrath, Magmar and Rapidash, since Lapras' weaknesses are Electric, Rock, Fighting and Grass Types.

Slowbro, another Pokémon creature that is also known to be weak against Electric and Grass types as well as Ghost and Bugs types, could easily be defeated using Tangela, Parasect and Exeggutor.

Another known defender is Snorlax, which is found to be weak against Electric and Grass types, which makes Clefable and Golem an appropriate contender. One more Pokémon that is weak against Electric types is Gyarados, which can be defeated by using Magneton, Raichu, Voltorb, Jolteon and Electabuzz.
