Best tips and tricks for Pokemon GO Tour Unova Los Angeles and New Taipei City

Do the following things to make the most of Pokemon GO Tour Unova Los Angeles and New Taipei City:

• Double-check your travel plans and parking situation. Reaching on or before time will help you skip crowded entry gates. Pre-booking parking is necessary if you are driving.
• Charge your phone and carry a power backup. This is self-explanatory.
• Carry food and water. Dress appropriately and wear comfortable shoes. as you will be walking long distances.
• Make a list of priorities. There's a lot of content. You can't possibly cover everything in a day. Decide what you want to focus on and go after that. Our suggestion would be to prioritize Black and White Kyurem raids.
• Aim to get exclusive backgrounds. Zekrom, Reshiram, Kyurem, and the Enigma Pokemon will feature.
• Max out your item and Pokemon storage space. Collect now dispose later should be your motto. However, to do so you'd either need to buy more storage or throw away stuff you don't need before the event starts.
• Buy the Raid Lover add-on. The bonuses really go a long way if you plan on grinding the event's 5-star raids.
• 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.
