Getting started
Pick a partner, win your first battle and learn the basics.
Your first minutes
- New game. Professor Oak welcomes you and lets you pick a partner: Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle or the special pick, Pikachu.
- Win it over. Your partner appears as a wild opponent with 10 HP. Tap it to battle — when it falls, it joins you.
- Route 1. Tap Route 1 on the map, then GO. You walk there and wild Pokémon start appearing one after another.
- Catch. You start with 25 Poké Balls. After a win, a ball is thrown by itself at any Pokémon you don’t have yet.
