First thing to try and do is save as many Pinap Berries to give to wild Pokemon you need the candies to evolve for. This will give you double Pokemon candies. This will make getting rare Pokemon evolutions that much easier. To have battle ready Pokemon one must use the appraisal option and see what is said by the team leader about each Pokemon. Each team leader says something different so Google your team leader's appraisal and what it means. Once you find out what is said about your Pokemon plug these phrases online into an Individual Value calculator for Pokemon Go. It's best to have Pokemon that fall into the 80% or better perfection. Next look at your Pokemon's moveset on the IV calculator and see what is the best possible moveset. If your Pokemon doesn't have the best don't worry. You're going to need to spin pokestops for technical machines that can switch your fast move and charge move for a different random move. Last point is to spin every stop and catch every Pokemon you can. This will grant you more exp to level up your player. Hatch every egg you can as well. For some extra stardust use some excess berries on ally gym Pokemon.
