I've been playing Pokémon Go since it launched. I've almost got enough experience points to have reached level 40 — multiple times. I've completed all my regional Pokédexes, and have beaten over 2,000 Raids. Over the last couple of years, levels, events, and encounters, I've picked up a few tips and tricks that have helped me immensely. It's the stuff I know now that I wish I knew back when I started. Heck, I wish I knew some of it back when I hit level 30!

We have lots of individual guides you can check out for quick answers, but here you can find the most important tips and tricks for the entire game.
