Lonely Trainer? Desperately Seeking Friendship? Your Guide to Luring in Fellow Pok�mon Go Players
Ah, Pok�mon Go. A magical world where we chase Rattatas through parks and weep over Zubats blocking our Pok�Ball throws. But admit it, trainers, sometimes the real struggle isn't catching a elusive Charizard, it's finding a friend to play with! Fear not, for I, your friendly neighborhood (well, maybe more like virtual neighborhood) trainer, am here to equip you with the ultimate guide to attracting fellow Pok�mon Go enthusiasts.

| How To Get A Friend On Pokemon Go |
Step 1: Ditch the Dismal Dumpster Diver Look (Unless That's Your Thing)
Let's be honest, trainers rocking pyjamas and yesterday's ramen hair aren't exactly sending out "raid buddy" vibes. Shower, shave that stray eyebrow hair (we've all been there), and maybe even consider venturing outside of your Pidgey-infested basement. Remember, a trainer who looks halfway decent is a trainer more likely to get friend requests!
QuickTip: Use CTRL + F to search for keywords quickly.
Step 2: Embrace the Art of the Trainer Code Shuffle
There's a reason your Trainer Code exists, people! Don't be shy! Share it with everyone you meet! Plaster it on your forehead in temporary tattoos, write it on sky lanterns, or train a team of Lillipups to spell it out in the park. The more people who see your code, the higher your chances of scoring a friend. Just be warned, if you use sky lanterns, you might attract the attention of Team Rocket instead.
Tip: Train your eye to catch repeated ideas.
Step 3: Become the Beacon of Helpful Hints (Unless You're Actually Clueless)
New trainers wandering around lost? Be their hero! (Although, if you yourself are hopelessly geographically challenged, maybe avoid this tactic.) Offer up your wisdom on where to find rare Pok�mon, explain the finer points of gym battling, or just be a friendly face in a world of Zubats. Remember, helpfulness is attractive...unless you're dispensing completely wrong information. Then you'll just be that weird guy yelling about Pikachus in trees.
Tip: Write down what you learned.

Step 4: Master the Mystic Art of the Raid Remote Pass
Look, we all know showing up to raids in person isn't always an option. But that doesn't mean you can't virtually connect with other trainers! Become a remote raid rockstar! Be the first to invite people to raids, offer up helpful counters for the boss Pok�mon, and maybe even throw in some encouraging memes before the battle. Remember, teamwork makes the dream work, even if that team is spread out across several city blocks.
QuickTip: Pause before scrolling further.
Step 5: Embrace the Power of Social Media (But Avoid Being That Guy)
Facebook groups, local Pok�mon Go chats, Reddit threads - the internet is teeming with potential friends! Just be sure to avoid the over-sharing trap. Nobody wants to see your breakfast or hear your existential dread about catching a CP 10 Magikarp. Stick to posting raid invites, funny in-game glitches, and maybe the occasional question about how to evolve that weird spiky ball Pokemon.
So there you have it, trainers! With a little effort, a sprinkle of luck, and maybe a willingness to look slightly less dishevelled, you'll be amassing a friend list that rivals Professor Oak's Pok�dex in no time. Now get out there, catch some Pok�mon, and make some amazing new friends along the way! Remember, the only bad trainer is a lonely trainer!
