'Pokemon Go' Tips And Tricks: How To Gauge The Overall Strength Of Your Pokemon; Secret Revealed!

While "Pokemon Go" fanatics are going berserk in their pursuit to "catch 'em all," a slew of tips, tricks and hacks continue to surface online for the hit augmented-reality game. And latest in the series are tips on how to catch some of the rarest Pokemon the game including Porygon, Gyardos, Dratini and Dragonite.

Citing its simplistic gameplay, it didn't take too long for "Pokemon Go" to make an impact among the mainstream masses and set them looking for Pokemon. In fact, the game is embedded in a single gaming axiom - it is not the numbers, but the value of Pokemon that matter.

Not many players may be familiar with the fact that a hint about how valuable a Pokemon is can be found in its IV (Individual Values) indication.

Generally, the CP number of a Pokemon ascertains its clout in "Pokemon Go." However, in a research conducted by players in the community, it was discovered that each Pokemon has its own secret individual stats that divulge its fighting capabilities and overall strength, US Gamer reported.

Players must first check the IV of the Pokemon before investing candies and stardusts on them. No prizes for guessing, the most valuable Pokemon are also the rarest and the most difficult ones to ferret out, such as Porygon, Gyarados, Snorlax and Dragonair.

A slew of recently-surfaced reports have divulged secrets on how to seize these rare Pokemon.

Taking into consideration that Dragonite is a Pokemon that can be mostly be found in the woods, it is treated as a rare Pokemon - primarily because of the region where it can be found. Besides, the fact that it seldom hatches eggs makes it even rarer, provided players are patient enough to wait. A 25 Dratini candy may evolve into a Dragonair, which may then transform into a Dragonite with just 100 candies.

A Dratini that players can transform into a Dragonair, can ideally be captured using eggs; and they can generally be found in bodies of water, Yibada reported.

Gyardos, on the other hand is a water Pokemon and can be found in large bodies of water. It is a Magicarp which can be evolved with as many as 400 candies, which explains why very few players even attempt to catch one. Gyardos are not given due consideration as rare Pokemon because they can be found more easily than Snorlax.

Lastly is Porygon, it is important to note that it ideally hatches in 5km eggs and usually found in loud and crowded regions.

Basically, the only way to get your hands on these rare Pokemon is by moving out of the comfort of your homes and going to places where they can be found.
