Pokémon TCG (Trading Card Game)
The Pokémon TCG is the official Trading Card Game where players collect and battle using Pokémon cards. It is played physically with real cards and also has a digital version called Pokémon TCG Live (formerly Pokémon TCG Online).
The term "Pocket" might refer to Pokémon's original meaning as "Pocket Monsters", which are small creatures carried in Poké Balls.
Mobile or Pocket-Sized Pokémon TCG
If "Pocket" is being used to describe a compact or mobile version, it might suggest a mobile game version of Pokémon TCG, although no official game with this name exists.
Unofficial or Fan-Made Content
It’s possible that "Pokémon TGC Pocket" refers to an unofficial fan project or a concept circulating online, but this has not been confirmed as an official Pokémon release.
How to play Pokémon GO
Pokémon GO is an augmented reality (AR) game that uses real-world GPS locations on your phone. Here’s a step-by-step guide to get started:
1. Installation and Setup
Download Pokémon GO from the Google Play Store (Android) or App Store (iOS).
Open the app and create an account using Google or a Pokémon Trainer Club account.
Customize your avatar (your in-game character) to look the way you want.
2. Catching Pokémon
Make sure GPS is enabled and the game has access to your location.
Walk around in the real world while looking at the in-game map.
When a Pokémon appears nearby, tap on it to enter the catch screen.
Use a Poké Ball to catch it:
Swipe upward on the screen to throw the Poké Ball toward the Pokémon.
Aim for the colored circle on the Pokémon—the smaller the circle, the higher the chance of a successful catch.
Use Razz Berries to make catching easier or switch to better Poké Balls like Great Ball or Ultra Ball.
3. Visit PokéStops
PokéStops are real-world locations, like monuments, parks, or landmarks, marked on your in-game map.
Walk close to a PokéStop and spin the PokéStop icon to collect items, such as:
Poké Balls
Potions and Revives
Razz Berries
Pokémon Eggs
4. Leveling Up and Evolving Pokémon
Catch Pokémon to gain XP (experience points) and Candy for that Pokémon species.
Use Candy and Stardust to power up or evolve your Pokémon, making them stronger.
Evolving Pokémon adds to your Pokédex, helping you track all Pokémon you’ve collected.
5. Battling at Gyms
When you reach level 5, you can join one of three teams:
Team Mystic (Blue)
Team Valor (Red)
Team Instinct (Yellow)
Look for Gyms on the map (marked as large towers).
Battle Pokémon defending a Gym to take it over for your team.
Leave your Pokémon at friendly Gyms to help defend them and earn rewards.
6. Hatching Eggs
You can obtain Pokémon Eggs from PokéStops.
Place an egg into an Incubator and walk 2 km, 5 km, or 10 km to hatch it.
The Pokémon that hatches depends on the distance and egg type.
7. Participate in Events and Raids
Pokémon GO hosts frequent events with special Pokémon spawns, rewards, and challenges.
Raid Battles are group battles at Gyms where you and other players fight a boss Pokémon (such as Legendary Pokémon).
Work together to defeat the Raid Boss, then try to catch it.
8. Tips for Playing Pokémon GO
Battery Saver Mode: Enable this in-game to conserve your phone’s battery.
Use Incense and Lure Modules to attract more Pokémon.
Walking is key! Explore your surroundings to find Pokémon, PokéStops, and Gyms.
Stay aware of your surroundings and play safely.
