Editing Beginner Tips

* If you're new and you haven't used the daily command yet, go do it now.

* Try to have your daily be active at a time when you will regularly be able to use Tilia all 7 days of the week.
 
* Set a reminder on your phone or PC to use your daily.

* Always buy a daily reset card (item 21) if near the beginning of a generation release. It will pay for itself over time. Try to time using the reset card after getting your daily money in order to maximize the value you get from it.

* Other than a reset card, focus all your money on balls in the early game. Items like honey and evolution items will not be helpful in filling out your dex until much later. 

* Evolution items in particular are very expensive; keep in mind that, for earlier gens, many evolved Pokémon are also common.

* If you're patient, try to buy balls in groups of 10 (which requires two dailies). You'll get a bonus ball.

* Always have one ball on hand if you can help it. You never know when a good ultra rare or shiny may pop up.

* Don't worry about catching duplicates; there are plenty of veteran players who will take your commons in exchange for other commons that you need. Gen 1/2 commons have basically no value to longtime players.

* Physical keyboards are usually superior to mobile keyboards for typing speed and accuracy. That said, if you are quick with autocomplete and Pokémon names are properly loaded into that system, you may be able to gain some extra speed. NOTE: If the bot thinks you entered the name too fast, it will prevent you from catching the spawn.

* Practice, practice, practice. Even if you don't need the Pokémon that comes up, try typing its name anyway just to make sure your typing is up to snuff when something you do need comes up.

* Be very aware of the rarities of various Pokémon. Starters and "pseudo-legendaries" (Dratini, Larvitar, Bagon, and Beldum lines) in particular are often highly sought after. The Full Pokédex (shown with the fulldex command) has a count for every Pokémon in the game; Pokémon with lower counts are more valuable. Don't be surprised if two Pokémon that are ostensibly counterparts have different counts.

* Newer Pokémon are often more valuable than older Pokémon of the same rarity level. In addition, Pokémon that evolve from other Pokémon of lower rarities may be less valuable (for example, Dratini is more valuable than Charizard despite both being UR, because Charizard evolves from lower rarity Pokémon). Ask a Tilia mod if you're unsure if a given trade is fair.

* Don't rush trades. You should never feel bullied into making a trade, and if you think it's a bad deal, you can always say no.

-* All new trainers start the game with 5 [[Corda Ball|Corda Balls]] in their bag.
+* If you're new and you haven't used the daily command yet, go do it now.
-:* If a Pokémon is from Alola (not including Alola Forms), a Corda Ball is used when catching.
-:* If a Pokémon is a ζ-Rift Pokémon, a Corda Ball is used when catching, but you are not required to have one. (This can cause you to have a negative number of Corda Balls.)
-:* Otherwise, you do not need to have a Corda Ball to catch the Pokémon, and a Corda Ball will not be used.
-* If a Pokémon spawns but the picture doesn't load correctly for some reason, '''DO NOT GUESS''' the name of the Pokémon. Guessing is considered cheating and will get you in trouble. Repeated guessing after you've been asked to stop will result in being temporarily or permanently blocked from playing Tilia.
+* Try to have your daily be active at a time when you will regularly be able to use Tilia all 7 days of the week.
-:* Some spawns are "Blind Spawns", where a Pokémon's dex entry appears instead of its image. You are allowed to guess for these spawns, as long as they aren't "joke guesses", such as "Zapdos" since Zapdos cannot spawn.
+* Set a reminder on your phone or PC to use your daily.
-* The '''daily''' command can be used to claim {{CordaBuck|200}}, 2 Corda Balls, and 1,000 Discount Card. After catching your first Pokémon, you must wait 23 hours to claim your daily. Afterwards, you can claim your daily every 23 hours.
+* Always buy a daily reset card (item 21) if near the beginning of a generation release. It will pay for itself over time. Try to time using the reset card after getting your daily money in order to maximize the value you get from it.
-* It is not recommended for beginning players to spend money on Honey-like items, as it will not help you fill out your dex until much later.
+* Other than a reset card, focus all your money on balls in the early game. Items like honey and evolution items will not be helpful in filling out your dex until much later.
-* If you want to evolve (or devolve) a non-Alola Pokémon, use a Discount item instead. Discount items can be purchased with your Discount Card, which you get 1,000 of with your daily.
+* Evolution items in particular are very expensive; keep in mind that, for earlier gens, many evolved Pokémon are also common.
-:* For example, you can evolve a Bulbasaur with a Discount Evo Candy instead of an Evo Candy.
-* Just like the main series Pokémon games, buying 10 Corda Balls at a time will yield an additional ball as a bonus. If you can, buy Corda Balls in multiples of 10.
+* If you're patient, try to buy balls in groups of 10 (which requires two dailies). You'll get a bonus ball.
-* Physical keyboards are usually superior to mobile keyboards for typing speed and accuracy. That said, if you are quick with autocomplete and Pokémon names are properly loaded into that system, you may be able to gain some extra speed.
+* Always have one ball on hand if you can help it. You never know when a good ultra rare or shiny may pop up.
-* Practice, practice, practice. Even if you don't need the Pokémon that spawned, try catching it anyways to make sure your typing speed is on point, so you have a better chance at catching something you do need. If the Pokémon isn't from Alola, it doesn't use a Corda Ball to catch it.
+* Don't worry about catching duplicates; there are plenty of veteran players who will take your commons in exchange for other commons that you need. Gen 1/2 commons have basically no value to longtime players.
-:* If you really don't want the Pokémon, you can put a period at the end of its name.
-* Be aware of the different rarities of various Pokémon. Starter Pokémon and pseudo-legendary Pokémon in particular are often highly sought after.
+* Physical keyboards are usually superior to mobile keyboards for typing speed and accuracy. That said, if you are quick with autocomplete and Pokémon names are properly loaded into that system, you may be able to gain some extra speed. NOTE: If the bot thinks you entered the name too fast, it will prevent you from catching the spawn.
-:* The pseudo-legendary Pokémon are the lines of [[Dratini]], [[Larvitar]], [[Bagon]], [[Beldum]], [[Gible]], [[Deino]], [[Goomy]], and [[Jangmo-o]].
-* Additionally, Pokémon from the Alola and Kalos regions are often more valuable than older Pokémon of the same rarity. In addition, Pokémon that evolve from other Pokémon of lower rarities may be less valuable (for example, some people might find [[Dratini]] more valuable than a [[Charizard]], even though they are both Ultra Rare, since Charizard evolves from a Rare, [[Charmander]].)
+* Practice, practice, practice. Even if you don't need the Pokémon that comes up, try typing its name anyway just to make sure your typing is up to snuff when something you do need comes up.
-:* You can always ask a Tilia moderator or another member of Staff if you're unsure if a given trade is fair.
-* Don't rush trades. You should never feel bullied into making a trade, and if you think it's a bad deal, you always have the option to say no. If unsure, feel free to conduct trade negotiations publicly.
