“Pokémon Candy is used to both power up and evolve your Pokémon. Both of these actions will increase the CP and maximum HP of your Pokémon. Pokémon Candy is bound to a specific type of Pokémon and will only be applicable to power and evolve that type of Pokémon regardless of its evolved state. You can earn Pokémon Candy in various ways: catching a Pokémon, hatching an egg and transferring Pokémon. Stardust is used to power up your Pokémon. This will increase both its CP and maximum HP. It can only be obtained by performing certain actions such as catching Pokémon, hatching eggs and defending gyms. When catching a Pokémon, you will be rewarded with 100 Stardust and 3 Pokémon Candy for that specific type of Pokémon and its evolved forms. For instance if you catch a Pidgey, you will be rewarded with 3 Pidgey Pokémon Candy. If you catch a Pidgeot, you will also be rewarded with 3 Pidgey Pokémon Candy. For this particular reason, I recommend you catch every Pokémon that approaches you. By doing so, you can save up on Pokémon candy and Stardust. If you do not want to keep a Pokémon you have caught, you can always remove or transfer this Pokémon afterwards. We will get to transferring Pokémon in a minute. When”

“I heard Coach Downs never started freshman," he told us. "Well that's not how it is with me. I play the best players, period. If you're a junior with three letters on your jacket, and you shave twice a day, and some smooth-faced freshman whips your ass in practice, then your collecting splinters while he's playing. Understood?

“Pokémon with a blue glow surrounding it in your menu simply indicates that you have caught this Pokémon in the last 24 hours. If you tap on a Pokémon, you can check its name, HP below the Pokémon, CP above the Pokémon, various traits, different attacks and the location and date you caught this particular Pokémon. You can rename your Pokémon by tapping the pencil next to its name.   You may also want to give your Pokémon a power up to boost its maximum health and CP, and thus making your Pokémon more powerful. This will cost you Stardust and Pokémon candy. If you wish to get rid of a Pokémon, you will want to tap the “Transfer” button in order to transfer your Pokémon to the Professor. Note that once you transfer a Pokémon to the Professor, this Pokémon will be lost forever and cannot be retrieved.   The last category features your items. In your items you will find all the items with their quantities you currently own. Pressing the trash allows you to toss an item if you wish to do so. Your maximum capacity is 350 items, but you can buy an upgrade in the Shop if you wish to expand your capacity.   An additional feature of the main menu is the Settings panel, which you will find in the upper right of your screen. If you open up the Settings, you can toggle the Music, Sound Effects, Vibration and Battery Saver. You may also revisit Professor Willow if you missed any of his speeches using the Quick Start option. Another feature is being able to sign out. This could be useful in case you wish to log in via another account. You can check the version of the application in the Settings too.   Toggling the Battery Save option will allow you to enter the Battery Save state. To enter this state simply tick the box and hold your device upside down. Your device will enter a battery saving state, indicated by a dark screen featuring the Pokémon Go logo, until held in its authentic state again. This feature is especially useful when your device is below 5% of its battery life. To utilize the remaining battery life to the fullest extent, simply hold your device upside down and put your device where it’s most comfortable for you. Mind that you may want to have your device in a position where you can still notice vibration, because whenever a Pokémon approaches you, your device will notify you through vibration, if you’ve enabled vibration in the Settings. Whenever your device vibrates, you can turn around your device with ease to continue playing without having to unlock your device. Note that you will not be notified when passing a gym or PokéStop.   The”
