Global GO Fest 2024 is just around the corner, and whether you're a seasoned Pokémon Trainer or a newcomer, it's time to get ready for the most exciting event of the year! To help you make the most of this incredible experience, we've compiled a list of essential tips and strategies. Follow these steps to ensure you're fully prepared to catch, battle, and explore like never before.
1. Catch ‘Em All, Now!
Start by increasing your Catch Medals to boost your type catch bonus. This will make it easier to catch a variety of Pokémon during the event. Focus on catching as many different types as possible to maximize your bonuses.
2. Keep Your Item Storage Tidy
Organize your item storage to ensure you have plenty of PokéBalls, including Great and Ultra Balls. Prioritize high-impact items such as Max Potions over regular Potions and Golden Razz Berries over standard Razz Berries. This will help you stay efficient during the event.
3. Open Gifts Daily
Make it a habit to open the maximum number of gifts every day. This will provide you with additional PokéBalls, items, and Stardust. The more resources you have, the better prepared you'll be for GO Fest.
4. Maximize Your Daily Coins
Ensure you're earning 50 coins a day from gyms. Use these coins to invest in Pokémon storage increases, item storage, raid passes, and other essential items. Proper resource management is key to a successful GO Fest.
5. Level Up Your Mega Pokémon
Work on maximizing your Mega Pokémon's Mega Level daily, especially for Primals like Kyogre and Groudon, and Mega Rayquaza. These Pokémon boost three types instead of two, giving you a significant advantage during the event.
6. Transfer Unnecessary Pokémon
Make room for GO Fest spawns by transferring Pokémon that aren't meta-relevant, sentimental, or worth trading. This will ensure you have plenty of space for new catches and event-specific Pokémon.
7. Set Up Super Effective Teams
Prepare teams that are super effective against the Pokémon you plan to raid. Having the right counters will make your raids more efficient and increase your chances of success.
8. Invest in Equipment
If it's within your budget, consider investing in a Pokémon Go+ auto catcher, comfortable walking shoes, and a phone cooler. These items will enhance your gameplay experience and keep your phone from overheating during intense play sessions.
9. Practice Your Throwing Skills
Mastering your Excellent Throw and Quick Catching techniques will save you time and PokéBalls. Practice these skills to increase your catch rate and efficiency during the event.
10. Join a Local Meetup
Find a local Community Ambassador-hosted meetup on Campfire and RSVP. Meeting up with other trainers can enhance your GO Fest experience, provide valuable tips, and make the event more enjoyable. If you're in the Pickering or Toronto area, be sure to check out our Pickering Meetup and Toronto Meetup.
With these tips, you'll be well-prepared to tackle Global GO Fest 2024. Remember, preparation is key to making the most of this exciting event. So gear up, get out there, and catch 'em all!
