Pokémon GO how-to guides
Step-by-step procedures for every common task in Pokémon GO. Each guide has a numbered procedure (Google indexes as step-by-step rich results), tips + gotchas, and links to relevant Hundo Hunter tools.
To get shiny Pokémon, tap every spawn you see — shinies have a fixed ~1-in-500 roll per encounter. Boost the odds during Community Day (~1-in-25), Spotlight Hour (~1-in-125), or themed events.
To find a hundo, check every catch via the in-game appraisal system (red bars = 15 IV). Best methods: raid catches (1-in-216), Friend trades during Lucky events (~1-in-30), or wild catches with a Hundo Spotter notification tool.
Enter your Pokémon's CP, HP, and stardust cost into the IV calculator. The calculator solves the CP formula backwards and returns every possible IV combination that matches — usually 1-2 candidates per catch.
To beat a raid boss, use Pokémon that hit it super-effectively (×1.6) and resist its attacks (×0.625). Hundo Hunter's raid counter pages rank the top 12 attackers per boss by total damage output × bulk.
During Community Day: spam catches with Pinap Berries for 4× candy, use a Star Piece for 3× Stardust, evolve to learn the exclusive move during the 5-hour window, and hunt the boosted 1-in-25 shinies.
To Mega-evolve, earn species-specific Mega Energy from Mega Raids, buddy walks, or Special Research. Each Mega lasts 8 hours and boosts all matching-type teammates by +10% damage in normal battles, +30% in raids.
The fastest ways to earn Stardust are Spotlight Hour 2× Stardust events (with a Star Piece, ~6 000 dust per 30-min session), raid completions (1 000 per catch), and Field Research daily breakthrough (2 000-5 000 dust).
Only power up Pokémon you plan to use in raids or PvP — not every catch. Save Stardust for hundos / functional hundos in your target role, and never max a mons without checking the CP cap of your target league first.
Stack a Lucky Egg + Curveball + Excellent throws + a catch combo for 4-6× XP per catch. Mass-evolve 60+ Pidgey / Caterpie / Weedle with a Lucky Egg for 30 000+ XP in 30 minutes.
