Tips from a Friend who was a Beta Tester and now level 25 lol.

1. No matter how long the distance of the egg don't incubate/hatch until you reach
level 15+, you get rarer pokemon instead of common shit.

2. Don't waste candies/stardust on low level CP pokemon you'll catch 100+ CP common pokemon in the wild. Transfer weak CP common multiples of pokemon to get/stack candies.

3. It's better to max out the power up on higher CP pokemon rather then evolve. The higher max out power up carries over to the evolution. Ex- 125 Pidgey --> 320~Pidgeotto
Vs 65 Pidgey --> 165~ Pidgeotto Also takes less Candies then evolving.

4. Stack candies and evolutions with lucky egg and lures at pokestops. Get a lucky egg purchase or at Level 9 get it as reward. Lucky Egg doubles XP for 30 min (evolving and catching pokemon doubles XP during this time). Lures at pokestops attracts more pokemon for 30min. To optimize this find a friend who has a lure along with you find two pokestops within proximity of each other lure both pokestops apply lucky egg and for those 30 min catch pokemon and evolve for double xp. Plus the pokestops you'll be able to hit those 9-10 times each as they refresh every 3 min.

Doing this at Level 9 for 30 min I was able to jump Level 9 - 14. Depending upon the location of the pokestop using lures I was catching every 2-3~min.

5. Gym Battles, leave your 2nd and 3rd highest CP at gyms to gain pokecoins "defender" able to collect coins every 21 hours so no need to purchase coins at the store. "Battling" is all about spamming on the enemy but type does matter along with CP. Water > Fire etc. I rarely use the special attack long holding on the enemy as fights usually don't last that long. Avoid gyms with 5000+ or 3 or more pokemon it'll take longer to solo it.

6. Famous Land Marks eg Statues/Bridges/Libraries etc give out better stuff at pokestops berrys potions ultra and great balls.

7. The higher Level your are aka the trainer the stronger and rarer the pokemon you encounter.
