Ever find yourself in a tight spot during a Pokemon GO battle and wonder how you can avoid taking a hit? You’re not alone. Dodging attacks in Pokemon GO can be a game-changer, especially in battles against tough opponents.
So, how exactly do you perform a dodge in Pokemon GO? Let’s jump into the nitty-gritty of dodging mechanics and give you the edge in your next battle.
The Quick Guide to Dodging in Pokemon GO
Dodging in Pokemon GO is simpler than you might think. When you’re in a battle, keep an eye out for the flash of your opponent’s attack animation. As soon as you see it, swipe left or right on your screen. This move will make your Pokemon leap aside, avoiding the brunt of the attack.
This tactic doesn’t just reduce the damage you receive; it can be the difference between victory and defeat in close battles. However, timing is key. Swipe too early or too late and you’ll still take a hit. Practice makes perfect, so don’t be afraid to jump into more battles to hone your dodging skills.
