Best tips and tricks for Pokemon GO Tour Unova Global

Doing the following things during Pokemon GO Tour Unova Global will help you make the most out of the event:

• Join your local community. Use the Campfire app to find where the local meetups will take place and attend them for community support and potential rewards.
• Charge your phone and carry a power backup. This is self-explanatory.
• Make a list of collectibles. There's a lot of stuff on offer — from exclusive backgrounds to new shinies. Prioritize what you want to chase and work towards it.
• Expand your Item and Pokemon storage. Ideally, you'll be catching everything that shows up around you. Don't let max limit on the in-game storage hold you back.
• Buy the ticket and add-ons for max value. While pricey, the rewards are quite exciting. Consider getting them based on your priorities. The Shiny Meloetta Masterwork Research is also available.
• Use Party Play. Apart from the event-specific bonuses, this mechanic gives you way too many advantages that you can't possibly ignore.
• Mega Evolve Mega Rayquaza. The event has a lot of Dragon-type raids. The bonus Candy and raid power will come in handy.
