'Pokemon Go' cheats, tips & tricks: Ways to catch 'em all without breaking a sweat

Since its debut in 2016, Pokemon GO has gained a huge following, something both Apple users and Android stans can relate to.

It started a new trend in mobile gaming that merged location and augmented reality (AR) into one amazing concoction that obviously worked. It enabled players to get a feel of what it is really like to go and explore the "Pokemon" world, armed only with the trusted "Pokemon" locator and a handful of pokeballs.

Sadly though, after almost two years of "Pokemon Go's" initial outing, it seems like no one has been able to successfully catch them all.

Now, for those who still aspire to be in the running for claiming that first spot, here is a list of tips and tricks to make catching them all a piece of cake.

Visit PokeStops

The first rule to catching pokemon in "Pokemon GO" is to find it. One easy way to spot pokemon in-game is by dropping by or visiting PokeStops, or those blue markers that seen everywhere on screen.

Visiting PokeStops is a must since pokemon are more likely to appear in areas that are close to this particular spot. Aside from this benefit, players can also get refills of pokeballs and other various items when they encounter PokeStops.

Stock-up on Pokeballs

The most important necessity in catching pokemon in-game is a pokeball. Players who aspire to catch them all should definitely stock-up on supplies because otherwise, pokemon will just slip by.

As mentioned, above pokeballs can be found in Pokestops which players can get for free. However, players can also opt to buy some inside the store.

Using Incense

Another way to go about catching tons of pokemon in one go is by using incense, an item that attracts hordes of pokemons to one's location. By utilizing incense, players will be able to attract pokemon that are on a higher level of rarity.

However, one downside to incense is that it has a time limit. So, it would be better if users or players have stocked up on pokeballs beforehand.

Turn the AR setting off

While obviously the coolest part in the game, the augmented reality (AR) setting is not the most ideal feature when it comes to catching pokemon. First, the AR mode uses a lot of battery power which cuts one's pokemon catching journey short. Second, it makes it harder to aim pokemon that pop up.

By turning off the AR mode, players can take much longer journeys and will be able to aim much accurately.

These are just some of the things players can do in order to fill-in the shoes of a master pokemon catcher. Use this trick wisely and efficiently and in no time, it would be possible to catch them all.
