Species Stats in Pokemon GO

The following species attributes help illustrate the relative strengths and weaknesses of different Pokemon in Pokemon GO. 'Base stats' are set on the server, but sent to the client where we are able to examine them.

Generation 2 Pokemon's base stats are able to be calculated due to the known conversion formula (discovered first by /u/CustomOndo ) from the main series game stats. Max Potential CP is calculated from the known CP formula and the species base stats.

How to Earn XP in Pokemon GO

The following table and information explain XP-earning events to help you increase your Trainer Level in Pokemon GO.

Trainer Level Requirements + Bonuses

The following table breaks down the XP requirements and item awards at each Trainer Level in Pokemon GO.

The Pokemon Rater

The following tool will help you learn your Pokemon's Individual Values (IV's)! This calculator is simplified version of the talented /u/__isitin__'s work. (Check it out!) .

Select Your Species »

Click the image to select your pokemon!

Step 1: Enter the Following:

Your trainer level: 5 wild pokemon are ≤ trainer's level total xp: 10000, step 2: position the cp arc, cp 100 - 118, (ranked 140 at %), click/tap the image or move the slider to change pokemon, slide the arc into position.

ESTIMATED POKEMON LEVEL: 5

Let's Double Check Your Slider Position!

Check that your slider is in the right position! Are these your next Power-Up's candy & stardust cost? If not, adjust the slider above!:

Step 3: Enter the Following:

Pokemon cp: 5 100 - 118 for this level, pokemon hp: 5 100 - 118 for this level, your results are in, what are iv's.

Each Pokemon in the game is unique. Not only does each distinct species have "base" stats for attack , defence , and stamina , but each individual Pokemon has additional unique values for those three stats. These are called 'Individual Values' or IV's and range from 0-15 for each stat.

How Important are IV's?

IVs are not as impactful in GO as in the main series games. But they can make up to a 10% difference in attack, defence, or stamina.

How Do I Know My Pokemon's IV's?

IVs are not publicly visible in Pokemon GO. But the stamina IV can be determined, and the combined attack+defense can be determined. (Individual attack and defense IVs are only knowable through ToS-breaking activities.)

Simply input the information requested into this tool. Be exact!.

How do I get the correct Arc Position?

Make sure the Candy/Stardust requirements show the correct Power-Up requirement to ensure you're on the correct arc position!

Move List in Pokemon GO

In the tables below you can find the comprehensive list of all moves in Pokemon GO along with their type, power, duration, and damage inflicted per second (DPS).

Quick Moves

Quick moves are used by 'tapping' the screen and do not require a full energy bar to use repeatedly! Quick moves do not 'critical hit.'

Charge/Special Moves

Special moves are used by holding and pressing the screen after charging the blue 'energy' bars by inflicting damage with quick moves!

Xbox Fans Should Prepare For A Dark Day On July 29, But There Is A Silver Lining

New pokémon tcg: shrouded fable card brings a rare mythical pokémon back after 3 years, paper mario: the thousand-year door continues an awful nintendo tradition.

A new month in Pokémon GO brings a host of new Field Research Tasks for players to complete. There's already plenty to do in Pokémon GO , but Field Researches reward players just for engaging with the game's mechanics. They're simple to get as well; walk up to a Poké Stop, give it a spin, and get a few random Research Tasks.

What kinds of Field Research Tasks trainers can complete changes each month, but they're always simple things. Hatching eggs, catching Pokémon, making curveballs and Excellent Throws , going on Raids, there's a wide variety of things players can do. Most of the rewards for completing these tasks are Wild Pokémon Encounters, but there are a number of berries, Pokéball, and candy rewards in the mix as well.

Pokemon Go July Field Research Tasks And Breakthrough Reward

New Field Research tasks are now live in Pokemon Go; here's the full updated list along with July's new Research Breakthrough reward.

By Kevin Knezevic on July 21, 2020 at 7:20AM PDT

July is here, and it's another busy month for Pokemon Go . On top of all the in-game events Niantic has lined up over the next few weeks, a new batch of Field Research tasks is now live, and if you complete enough of them, you'll earn a new Research Breakthrough reward: Larvitar.

Each time you achieve a Research Breakthrough in July, your reward will be an encounter with Larvitar, the base form of the powerful Tyranitar. There's also a chance that the Larvitar you encounter will be Shiny, so there's a good incentive to complete as much Field Research as you can this month.

As a refresher, Field Research tasks are distributed via Poke Stops. The first one you complete each day will net you a stamp, and collecting seven stamps will lead to a Research Breakthrough. You can see the full list of July's Field Research tasks, as compiled by The Silph Road , below.

There's a lot going on in Pokemon Go this month. Pokemon Go Fest 2020 takes place on July 25 and 26, and before then, Niantic is holding a series of weekly challenges that players can complete to unlock additional Pokemon during Go Fest weekend. The Legendary Kyurem is also making its debut in Pokemon Go this month, and Gastly is headlining July's Community Day .

The End of the Road: The Silph Road's Closure Announcement

pokemon go research tasks the silph road

The Silph Road

Niantic's response, until we meet again.

Since the early days of Pokemon Go, our community has had a few major resources that have been utilized and cited time and time again. Websites and other digital media platforms that have sought to blow away the cloud of confusing mechanics that this game has presented since its release back in 2016 in order to give players a  real  glimpse into the inner machinations that have come together to make up Pokemon Go as a whole. In the early days, the internet was  filled  with misinformation and baseless rumors that made their rounds constantly and kept players from knowing what was actually happening and what was going  to happen. And while we have always done our best to be as reliable a resource as possible from the start, without a doubt one of the premier resources available since their inception has been none other than The Silph Road . 

The Silph Road, for the few who may not be aware, is an organized group focused in part on building up a community of players that have worked together to detangle the hidden mechanics of Pokemon Go, demystify the many hidden secrets that Niantic has tried to keep from our eyes, and lead many in our community to a more rewarding reason to play this game that unites us even now. But it's so much more than even that. For a very long time now, The Silph Road in all of its various features and functions have been the collective mind of the Pokemon Go community, with thousands of players coming together like neurons to produce great things. Even Niantic, shut-off from the community though they may be, has been forced to recognize the great work of The Silph Road and has gone so far as to sponsor them; an  unprecedented  boon that speaks volumes as to just how important this team has long been.

But, sadly, all good things must come to an end.

pokemon go research tasks the silph road

In an  extremely  unfortunate turn of events, Niantic's sponsorship of The Silph Road has come to an end, and they have not opted to continue it moving forward. While I could simply abridge the situation here, I feel that this wouldn't do the hard work of these individuals any justice, so here's the actual post on The Silph Road's Reddit outlining the full situation:

The End of an Era: After seven extraordinary years, the Silph Road team is ceasing operations. Thank you all for joining us on this remarkable journey. by u/dronpes in TheSilphRoad

It's a very unfortunate turn of events, as this is a  huge  loss for the Pokemon Go community as a whole. The resources put out by The Silph Road have long been considered some of the best on the net, so we will sorely miss them. The silver lining to this cloud is the fact that their Reddit will continue to operate, and that their researchers intend to continue their work despite despite this loss.

For this reason, we  highly recommend  that everyone joins The Silph Road's Reddit in order to show solidarity for their contributions to the community and hard work.

Amazingly, Niantic has actually broken their traditional silence when it comes to matters of the Pokemon Go Community and released an official statement in regards to their choice to no longer pursue a partnership with The Silph Road.

Niantic's Letter

Trainers, For the past year we’ve had the pleasure of partnering with the Silph Road on the Community Ambassador Program. It’s been great working with the team on this project, and it has also been incredible watching the passionate contributors at the Silph Road grow a truly amazing community hub. While we’re sad to see the Silph Road closing its doors, we want to thank them for all they’ve done for the Pokémon GO community in the last six years. The Community Ambassador Program will continue to move forward into its next iteration. While we are closing applications for the month of May during the transition, community leaders will have expanded opportunities to apply to be a Community Ambassador outside of the Silph Road. Soon, Trainers from across the globe will be able to apply to this revamped program via Campfire, providing opportunities to share and grow their community and receive rewards for gathering in-person to play. We’ll continue to add more opportunities into the program, such as providing unique access and rewards for Community Ambassadors and their fellow Trainers. You’ll still be able to use the Pokémon GO map to share where you can find your local community and play together during special events. Stay tuned for more updates as we get ready for the future of the Community Ambassador Program, and thank you again to the team at the Silph Road for their energy, passion, and dedication.

Sadly, the message from Niantic is less about the hard work of the community and more focused on their personal plans moving forward, including a temporary closure of applications for their Ambassador Program and updates to Campfire in the near future.

We've lost a lot here today, that fact cannot be understated. However, just like the Silph Road teams that are going to continue their work despite losing one of the more identifying pieces of their team and arguably their home-base, we're going to continue to move on. But, for now, please accept our respect and thanks for all that you've done, Silph Road team. May your future journeys be as great as your previous!

Pokémon Go map trackers that still work

How to use map trackers to up your Pokémon Go game

Pokémon Go Wayfarer

When Pokémon Go first launched, many ambitious players invested time and resources into setting up interactive maps and trackers to assist players in finding everything in the game, from raids to rare Pokémon spawns. While some of this was great for everyone involved, it also put a lot of strain on Niantic and brought up concerns about cheating. Through a concerted effort on Niantic's part, changes were made to the back end of the game that make it more difficult for trackers and maps to work. Most of these sites have since gone offline, but a handful still remain.

These few sites have found legitimate ways to provide players with guidance to finding things in-game. And we're here to walk you through the remaining options. Also, be sure to check out our best Pokémon Go accessories , so you can be fully equipped on your Pokémon journey!

Why use a map or tracker in Pokémon Go in the first place?

While the information each map or tracker can provide varies and the quality of that information can be spotty in many areas, these tools can give players direction and save them a lot of time. If you're trying to find a Machop nest so you can power up your Machamp, some maps lay out all of the nests in an area and what Pokémon are spawning there. If you're looking for a particular raid battle, there are maps for that too. If you're visiting a new area and want to know where the biggest clusters of gyms and PokéStops are, there are also maps for that. One site even tries to keep track of rare Pokémon spawns.

While some players consider some or even all of these tools to be cheating , they can provide invaluable guidance for those who use them. Of those that are still up and running, four stand out.

Go Map for Pokémon Go

GO Map

GO Map is a collaborative, real-time map that lists PokéStops and gyms, as well as Pokémon spawns. Because this site relies on players to report locations and spawns, it is more useful in some areas than others. This site also offers an interactive Pokédex with statistics and in-depth details about each Pokémon. They offer a PVP guide that provides not only step-by-step instructions, but also a break down of their preferred Pokémon for PVP battles. You can sort Pokémon by country and city as well for major cities, or use it as a more traditional map.

PokeHunter for Pokémon Go

PokeHunter

PokeHunter is one of the maps and trackers that runs remarkably well. They offer detailed information on gyms, including which Team has control at any moment, how many spaces remain in a gym, and where raids are happening. It'd be a perfect tool save for one massive downside: it only works for a handful of cities in three US states. If you happen to live or work in one of the following cities, this is a fantastic tool:

  • California (Cupertino, Downtown Campbell, Mountain View, North San Jose, Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, Pasadena, and Los Banos)
  • Minnesota (North Saint Paul, Apple Valley, Eagan, Savage, Burnsville, Prior Lake, South Minneapolis, and Lakeville)
  • Oregon (Downtown Portland, Happy Valley, Gresham, and Hillsboro)

PogoMap for Pokémon Go

PogoMap

PogoMap is a comprehensive map of all Gyms, PokéStops, and Nests and one of my personal favorites for one particular reason: it differentiates between normal Gyms and Gyms that have the potential to hand out EX Raid Passes. Although EX Raids aren't happening at the moment, when they are happening, this is an invaluable tool.

While this map has the ability to report lots of useful details, such as which Pokémon are spawning in a current Nest, when Team Go Rocket has invaded a PokéStop or even which Field Research tasks any particular PokéStop is handing out, I found these features to be underutilized in my area despite being near multiple large cities. In some areas with more active players, these tools could be handy, but even without them, I find the information on this particular map to be super helpful.

The Silph Road

The Silph Road nests map

Saving the best for last, The Silph Road has remained the biggest and best-organized site for Pokémon Go players to collaborate. In addition to their comprehensive Pokédex and countless guides on Pokémon Go, they have a map that has all the Nest locations with both confirmed and rumored Nest spawns. Plus, there's an unofficial League Map that provides locations for real-world meet-ups of all varieties. Their site offers more information on Pokémon Go than any other I've ever found, and the people running it from all around the world are some of the most knowledgeable and dedicated players in the game. It's easy to see why they are the go-to authority on all things Pokémon Go.

Other options for Pokémon Go

Maybe, for some reason or another, these tools just aren't cutting it for you. While there will never be the number or quality of tools for Pokémon Go players as existed in its early days, there are still other options. Namely, the best thing you can do for real-time information on Pokémon Go is to connect with other local players. Many social platforms, such as Facebook and Reddit, run local Pokémon Go communities. These groups often have active Facebook Messengers Groups and Discord Chats, where you can connect with other local players who share locations of rare Pokémon spawns, Raids, coveted Research tasks, and more. If these tools just aren't enough, your best bet is to connect with other players through these groups.

Field research are missions collected one at a time by spinning a PokéStop, and will involve finding certain creatures, engaging in battles and other activities.

Every day PokéStops will give you a new quest, and each type of quest can have one of many different rewards, from previously Raid-exclusive consumables such as TMs and Rare Candy and common items such as Poké Balls.

pokemon go research tasks the silph road

Examples of quest types include:

  • Catch one or two specific Pokemon (such as 3x Pidgey or Murkrow)
  • Catch specific Types (such as catch 10x Normal Type Pokemon)
  • Catch Weather -boosted Types
  • Hatch a certain number of Eggs
  • Battle in a Gym a certain number of times
  • Battle in a Raid a certain number of times
  • Evolve a certain number of Pokemon
  • Make a certain number of specific throws (such as Nice, Great or Excellent)
  • Spin a certain number of PokeStops

Some of these quest rewards even give you the chance to catch a mystery Pokémon. There's nothing exclusive here, but there does include uncommon and rare Pokémon, such as Tangela and Chansey, depending on the quest in particular.

As well as from a PokéStop, one additional research quest will also be added to your list at midnight local time. If you have a full roster of research, then you'll receive a fourth regardless - though if you still have four the following evening, no more will be added.

It's also worth knowing that, as of Thursday 1st June 2023 with the release of the Season of Hidden Gems , the quests and associated rewards now rotate on a seasonal basis. The only excpetion to this rule is the Spinda field research task. This means that both the field research tasks and rewards will remain the same for three months in total, only changing when a new season - both in Pokémon Go and real life - rolls around.

Finally, it's also worth knowing that if you pick up a quest, you are free to delete it and catch another by spinning another Pokéstop. You can also complete as many as you like in a day - so when you have space in your inventory, return to a PokéStop to start quest. Spin the same Pokéstop and you'll just get the same quest again though - Pokéstops give out set rewards, that are generally tailored to their location, which refresh every day at midnight. So if you want a new quest you'll need to spin another stop.

Event-exclusive field research tasks can also be saved in your field research collection and completed after said event ends.

Completing one Field Research quest per day will give you a stamp. Get seven stamps - which will take seven days - completes something known as a Research Breakthrough .

These have even greater rewards - including Stardust and Mystery Items - as well as an encounter with a very rare or Legendary Pokémon .

You'll also receive plenty of other items too - including a chance at Rare Candy, Pokéballs, Berries, 2,000 Stardust, 3,000 XP, and a Sinnoh Stone .

pokemon go research tasks the silph road

The best news about these Research Breakthrough catches is they cannot run away - it has a flee chance of 0 per cent - so the pressure is off. However, it has the same catch rate as normal, so be prepared for it to break out of your balls.

This means you can use Pinap Berries, or even use it as a chance to rack up some of the harder throwing-based Special Research streaks, without any risk of it running away.

It also comes with strong IVs, too, as if the Pokémon was appearing in a Raid encounter or Egg. It always appears at level 15, which is the same for all mystery Pokémon caught from Field Research rewards.

Finally, the question is - when do the special reward Pokémon change in your Research Breakthrough progress? It's when you claim the reward for your final Field Research task.

So, you can complete the task, but just don't claim the reward for that task before 1pm PST / 9pm UK time of the first of the month, as doing so will activate the arrival of the Special Research reward at the top of the screen.

If it's before then, it'll be the reward for the month before (so in October 2018, this was Suicune). Wait until after, it'll be the next month's (so in November 2018, this is Shedinja).

To clarify further, this is when you complete the task, not open it. Even if you then open it after the change, it'll be the prior month's Pokémon. To be safe, wait until it's the new month if you want to get the latest creature.

The World of Wonders Season is coming to an end in Pokémon Go. Enjoy the last event - Ultra Space Wonders - and complete the final stage of World of Wonders , so you can evolve Poipole into Naganadel! You can also work on the Masterwork Research: Catching Wonders quest for a Master Ball and Glitz and Glam quest for a Diancie. Don't forget to try out Routes , Gift Exchange and Party Play while you're hunting down rare Pokémon , fighting in the Go Battle League or competing in PokéStop Showcases .

Special Research quests, meanwhile, are story-based questlines with unique rewards. Unlike Field Research quests, these are fixed objectives that every player will face, and appear in the game infrequently.

The first available is ' A Mythical Discovery ', with the arrival of the game's first Mythical creature - Mew - as the end reward.

Our A Mythical Discovery explains the eight steps required to unlock Mew, which includes finding specific Pokémon, participating in Raid and Gym battles, and reaching a certain Trainer level.

Since then we've seen more special research quests arrive for other mythical Pokémon, like Celebi and Meloetta , and ones themed around battling Team Go Rocket or investigating the Ultra Beasts. Ocassionally, you can even purchase a special research from the in-game Pokémon Go store, like Wish Granted , which will allow you to earn additional Pokémon, items or avatar clothing.

Make sure you're playing Pokémon Go regularly to ensure you're keeping up with all of the special research quests! Remember - since they don't have deadlines, you can complete these quests at your own pace.

Though the quest features are well explained in the game, there's some nuance that will help you get the most out of each objective you undertake.

  • Completing one of the Special Research objectives will not add a daily stamp to your Research Breakthrough progress - it must be from a Field Research quest instead.
  • You can cancel and complete as many Field Research quests as you want per day.
  • As long as you have space for it, you will recieve one field research task automatically every day.
  • It's possible to have multiple of the same Field Quest at once, and complete them all at the same time.
  • Pokémon encounters from Research quests always feature Level 15 Pokémon, with the 66 per cent to 100 per cent IV spreads you also find in Raid or Egg encounters, and are unaffected by the weather.
  • Certain Special Research quests (also known as Mew steps ) will be automatically completed if you complete their requirements since they are impossible to 'repeat', such as reaching a certain Trainer or medal level.

pokemon go research tasks the silph road

  • You can spin the same PokéStop for Stop-spinning quests, and there is no difference between Gym Discs and PokéStop Discs when completing spin quests - though Gym Discs don't count towards "new Pokéstop" quests.
  • You don't have to 'view' a quest in the quest screen to complete it, so if you don't have time to check what it is (if you're on a bus and there are PokéStops and Pokémon to catch quickly, for example) then it can wait - and if it's the right type of quest, you might have started work on it by the time you check it.
  • Pokémon Go Plus can be used to collect quests from PokéStops and complete objectives.
  • The mystery Pokémon you can catch after completing certain Field Research quests have the same high-end IV range as Egg and Gym Pokémon.
  • You have to catch the mystery Pokémon in order to clear the research from your quest log - you can run away and come back, but you need to catch it to clear the quest, even if it's a rubbish Pokémon. Fleeing and trying again won't reset the Pokémon's stats, either - once it spawns, they're fixed.
  • You can "cheese" the "Battle in X number of Raids" quests, by deliberately dodging your way through them until the timer runs out and retrying repeatedly. This is a great way to save on Raid Passes and complete the quest quickly, if you don't mind killing some time. Note that EX Raids do also count towards Raid quests, too.
  • Catching evolved forms of Pokémon does count towards "Catch X number of Y Pokémon" quests. So I could catch a Gloom for a "Catch 2 Oddish" quest and it would count.

Cover image for YouTube video

  • Similarly, throwing better-tierd throws than required in ball-throwing quests counts too. So throwing a Great or Excellent Throw will count towards "Make 5 Nice Throws".
  • You can miss days and not lose your streak of Stamps - it's just a cap of one Stamp that can be earned per day, not a "streak" that can be lost by missing a day, like the ones for spinning a Pokéstop or catching a Pokémon every day.
  • Dittos count towards the types they're disguised as too - so a Ditto disguised as a Pidge will count towards "Catch 3 Pidgey" quests.
  • Hatching and evolving Pokémon doesn't count towards catching tasks, you have to physically catch them in the wild or from Raid or mystery Pokémon encounters.
  • You can indeed work towards two quests at once - so landing a Great Throw on a Pidgey will both count towards "Catch 3 Pidgey" and "Make 3 Great Throws" quests.
  • You can delay claiming rewards for both Field and Special Research, although they'll need to be cleared before you get new ones. Delaying the rewards for you Special Research in particular is a good idea, as some of the later requests reward thousands of XP - it might be worth popping a Lucky Egg before claiming them all together.

Thanks to the Silph Road subreddit for filling in the gaps on some of the above.

Pokémon Go Ditto disguises list for May 2024

Ditto is an elusive Pokémon in Pokémon Go , as it disguises itself and you can’t actually just catch one straight-up.

In order to find Ditto, you’ll want to find the Pokémon that it currently disguises itself as. For example, you may see a Diglett, and it’ll stay a Diglett once you tap on it, but it’s secretly a Ditto. Once you catch that Pokémon, you’ll be met with an “Oh?” prompt, and it’ll turn into a Ditto — if you’re lucky.

Ditto’s chosen disguises changes from time to time, so you’ll want to make sure you know what the disguises are currently if you’re Ditto hunting — especially if you are after a shiny.

Below, we’ve listed out the current Ditto disguises in Pokémon Go for May 2024 .

Pokémon Go Ditto disguises in May 2024

As of Dec. 18, 2023 — following the Adamant Times event — Ditto can currently be any of the following Pokémon in Pokémon Go:

  • Oddish (Gen 1, Kanto)
  • Koffing (Gen 1, Kanto)
  • Rhyhorn (Gen 1, Kanto)
  • Goldeen (Gen 1, Kanto)
  • Numel (Gen 3, Hoenn)
  • Bidoof (Gen 4, Sinnoh)
  • Solosis (Gen 5, Unova)
  • Bergmite (Gen 6, Kalos)
  • Stufful (Gen 7, Alola)

How to find shiny Ditto in Pokémon Go

There’s a few things to know about Ditto and shiny hunting. For one, if you encounter a shiny Pokémon that can be a Ditto, it will never be a Ditto . Don’t worry, you won’t lose your shiny.

Finding a shiny Ditto is just the luck of the draw . Any Ditto you find and catch has a chance to be shiny , and the shiny rates are higher than usual. Expert research group The Silph Road says it’s about a one in 64 chance to be shiny ( via Wayback Machine ). You’ll just have to get lucky when you find disguised Pokémon.

Shiny Ditto was initially made available to players via a paid Special Research Task set for the Kanto Tour back in 2021, but is now just a regular encounter.
