If you’ve been wondering why a large number of people have been walking around in circles while staring at their smartphones, then the answer is Pokémon Go.
Pokémon Go uses a map based on the real world that allows you to catch various Pokémon that appear frequently near you and visit real world landmarks known as ‘PokéStops’.
Now that you know the gist of it, you probably have a strong urge to join the ranks and play. Before you head out into the world of Pokémon Go, here are a few tips and tricks from GrabOne that will help you on your journey.
Before hunting
Unless you want an army of Zubats and Pidgeys in your Pokémon team (and trust me, you don’t), you’ll have to spend a lot of time hunting outdoors for something better.
Ensure that you can withstand the gruelling winter chills by wearing this warm and comfy Minx winter spot scarf. Now you’ll be able to battle through the terrains in style.
You may think your fully-charged smartphone will be good to go for an entire day’s hunting but you’ll be unpleasantly surprised when you find out that the game drains energy faster than a Pikachu during a lightning storm.
Prepare for constant battery usage with a 20000mAh portable power bank that’ll keep your phone – and your game – up and running. More battery = more hunting = happy trainer.
While on the hunt
Even the best of trainers need some time to rest and recover. While your phone is charging, why not refill your energy as well by dining at Paleo Cafe with a $30 weekday food and beverage voucher.
Their convenient Westgate location means that you can enjoy your meal while keeping an eye on a nearby Dragonite as well.
After the hunt
You’ve caught some Pokémon, leveled your avatar and hatched a few eggs by the end of your first day. Congrats! Now it’s time to soothe your body and mind after a long day’s hunting with a full body deep tissue massage.
This pamper treatment will have you relaxed and refreshed so you’ll be prepared for another day of Pokémon hunting.
