GamePress The website you’re looking at! We provide up-to-date resources for your mobile video game needs. I go to GamePress for their PoGO IV calculator and guides, plus their Fire Emblem Heroes content.

Gender Almost all Pokemon are either male or female. The exceptions are genderless Pokemon families and almost all legendaries. Did you just assume my Pokemon’s gender? It’s female, by the way.

Golden Razz Berry A berry acquired during raids that greatly increases the likelihood of catching a Pokemon. When fed to a gym defender, it restores their motivation to max. The best defenders in the game are error codes and Golden Razz Berries.

Great Ball An item thrown at a Pokemon in order to capture it. Has an increased chance of success from a Poke Ball. Information on catch mechanics can be found here. Use a Great Ball if you care, but don’t care enough to use an Ultra Ball.

Great Throw A thrown Poke Ball that hits the Pokemon inside the center ring when the ring is of medium size. Grants more bonus XP and highly increased catch rate. More information can be found on throw bonuses here. I’ll usually aim for great throws, because excellent throws are too difficult to hit.

Gym An in-game landmark that can hold up to six Pokemon from trainers of the same team. They will have a photo disc that can be spun for items. You can gain Pokecoins for posting a Pokemon at a gym for a period of time. Gym mechanic information can be found on our Gym Overview and Strategy and Gym Combat Mechanics page. I control 3 gyms around the neighborhood, so you could say I’m a pretty big deal.
