In Pokémon Go, when players encounter Pokémon, they can catch them by flicking a Poké Ball in the direction of the Pokémon. But having Poke Balls is not very easy to control. The player cannot be sure that they will go where the player wants them to go. There will be a circle around the Pokémon the player wants to capture. The player's goal when catching is to successfully land the Poké Ball inside the circle as much as possible, so that the player has a better chance of catching the Pokémon. But when the player keeps their thumb on the Poké Ball for an extended period, the circle around the Pokémon closes.

In Pokémon Go, players can strengthen their team by capturing the same Pokémon. This is the opposite of other Pokémon games. In addition, if players want to evolve Pokémon, they need to evolve by using "candies" related to their evolution lines, such as Bulbasaur Candy. There are two ways to evolve in Pokémon Go, which require players to use 50 candies and 75 candies, respectively. 

Players can also form a solid team with the available Pokémon types in their region. The combat power of Pokémon in Pokémon Go can be enhanced by evolution or feeding candies, etc. If players reach level 5 by catching enough Pokémon, they can choose between the three clan teams of Zapdos, Articuno, and Moltres. Players can then fight in Pokémon Gyms. During combat, players can tap their Pokémon to attack, or swipe left or right to dodge, and can also tap to use special attacks.

An important part of the Pokémon Go gaming experience is working with a global community of players. Its social experience is also one of its most important features. Many game skills and experience require players to learn not only through trial and error, but also through interaction with other players or friends who are also struggling with the game.
