* Try to buy a [[Items#Other| daily reset card (item 21)]] as soon as you have a few [[Corda Ball| Corda Balls]] on hand and can still afford one. It will pay for itself in just 2 uses. Try to time using the reset card after getting your daily money in order to maximize the value you get from it. Each trainer can only have one, which makes it easier to keep up with veteran players.
