Best tips and tricks for Pokemon GO Deep Depths

Do the following things to make the most out of this event:

• Mega Evolve Gyarados. This form of the creature is a dual Water- and Dark-type. This means you will get extra Candy for capturing all the potential wild spawns during the event.
• Complete the free Timed Research fast. Making it to the end is crucial as it unlocks the 2x catch Stardust bonus. Having such a target is a good incentive, as once unlocked, this will be the most attractive bonus from the event.
• Hatch as many Eggs as possible. If you have 10 or 12 km Eggs lying around in your collection, incubate them once the event starts to hatch them quickly.
• Make a shiny list. Check out the top shinies to hunt for during Pokemon GO Deep Depths.
