* Have you seen numbers on the [[Festival Plaza]] icon on the X menu on your lower screen? It shows you how many people are currently connected via local wireless communication.

;[[Tapu Village]]
* Wild Pokémon that appear on Poké Pelago's Isle Abeens sometimes decide to stay with you.

;{{rt|15|Alola}}
* If you collect lots of different kinds of Berries, try planting them on Poké Pelago's Isle Aplenny to grow and harvest more.

;{{rt|16|Alola}}
* You can drop off up to 18 Pokémon at a time on Poké Pelago's Isle Evelup.

;{{rt|17|Alola}}
* Pokémon that you drop off on Poké Pelago's Isle Avue will grow more friendly toward you. But don't leave them in the hot spring baths too long, or they might get overheated! Tap the sign to collect them from the bath!

;[[Poni Wilds]]
* You can even drop off Pokémon Eggs in the hot springs baths on Poké Pelago's Isle Avue.

;[[Poni Plains]]
* There are times when you throw a Poké Ball to catch a Pokémon, and it shakes just once. The more Pokémon you catch, the more likely this curious phenomenon is to occur. Since it makes it more likely you'll be able to catch your target, it's called a critical capture.

;[[Poni Gauntlet]]
* Rumor has it there are some special Z-Moves that only certain Pokémon can use.

==={{g|Sword and Shield}}===
; {{rt|2|Galar}}
Pokémon can gain Exp. Points by battling other Pokémon. Exp. Points help them grow stronger. And your Pokémon will still get Exp. Points even if you catch a Pokémon you are battling against!

Trying to take another person's Pokémon makes you no different than a thief! Poké Balls are only to be used to try to catch wild Pokémon that have no Trainers!

; {{rt|3|Galar}}
You can set up camp on routes, and your Pokémon can earn Exp. Points from camping. Try visiting other people's camps, too, when you find tents along your way.

; {{rt|4|Galar}}
A Pokémon's moves can be physical moves or special moves. A high Attack stat makes physical moves deal more damage, and a high Sp. Atk stat makes special moves deal more damage!

; {{rt|5|Galar}}
Pokémon that appear to be surrounded by a brilliant aura tend to be stronger than others. And when you defeat them, they drop Watts! It seems you become more likely to spot these Brilliant Pokémon the more Pokémon you catch!

; {{rt|6|Galar}}
You can use each Technical Machine, or TM, as many times as you like on your Pokémon. Teach your Pokémon moves of various types to give them an advantage against all kinds of different opponents in battle! Technical Records, or TRs, can only be used one time before they break, however. Be more thoughtful when choosing to use them!

; {{rt|7|Galar}}
If you want to stop a Pokémon from evolving, press the B Button while it's trying to evolve. The Pokémon will be startled and stop evolving. This trick is called an Evolution cancel!

; [[Circhester]]
The Pokémon species you see recommended in your Pokédex will be updated once you manage to catch them all or when the date changes.

; {{rt|8|Galar}}
Checking out glowing Pokémon Dens in the Wild Area will help you store up Watts! If you climbed all the way up here, you're likely the sort to investigate every nook and cranny. So keep that curiosity alive to search out every last den as you run around the Wild Area, too!

; {{rt|9|Galar}}
There are times when you throw a Poké Ball to catch a Pokémon, and it shakes just once. The more Pokémon you catch, the more likely this curious phenomenon is to occur. Since it makes it more likely you'll be able to catch your target, it's called a critical catch.

; {{rt|10|Galar}}
The Dynamax phenomenon is caused by a special power that originates from within Pokémon, warping the space around them and making them appear far larger than they truly are. Some Pokémon also change appearance upon Dynamaxing. This particular kind of Dynamaxing is also known as Gigantamaxing.

==List of Advanced Tips==
==={{g|X and Y}}===
;[[Snowbelle City]]
* Eevee is a Pokémon with great potential. Try experimenting with many things, such as certain locations, times of day, and Evolution stones.

;{{rt|8|Kalos}}
* I see! You can use the move Rock Smash! Use Rock Smash to break rocks, and you'll sometimes find Pokémon or items!

;[[Azure Bay]]
* You can cast a fishing line from a Pokémon's back when using Surf to move across the water!

;{{rt|14|Kalos}}
* A Pokémon with the Scrappy Ability can hit a Ghost type with Fighting- or Normal-type moves!

;{{rt|16|Kalos}}
* With the Keen Eye Ability, the Pokémon's accuracy can't be lowered! Keen Eye also lets the Pokémon ignore any boosts to the opposing Pokémon's evasiveness.

;{{rt|20|Kalos}}
* You can check the moves for any of your Pokémon right from inside the PC Box!

;{{rt|21|Kalos}}
* If you use Trick Room again after it's already been used, everything goes back to normal. The fastest Pokémon once again gets to act first!

==={{g|Sun and Moon}}, {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}===
;{{rt|1|Alola}}
* If you have {{p|Tauros}} smash any boulders in your way, you may be able to reach new areas! You could even try exploring [[Ten Carat Hill]], which lies near the Pokémon Research Lab.

;[[Konikoni City]]
* Eevee is a Pokémon bursting with possibilities. Take it to different places, or even try some Evolution stones on it!

;[[Mount Hokulani]]
* You can retake the photo for your [[Trainer Card (game)|Trainer Passport]] anytime that you want to. It will also be updated for you whenever you change your [[Fashion item|clothes]] or your hairstyle.

;[[Poni Wilds]]
* There are shops in [[Festival Plaza]] where you can get [[Bottle Cap]]s and [[Gold Bottle Cap]]s. Gather as many as you can, and get down to some [[Hyper Training]]!

==In the anime==
[[File:Trainer Tips anime.png|thumb|230px|A Trainer Tips sign in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
In ''[[EP156|The Psychic Sidekicks!]]'', {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} came across a Trainer Tips sign that advised them to use {{t|Psychic}} Pokémon against the {{t|Ghost}} Pokémon lurking in the forest they were currently in.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
One Trainer Tip and one Advanced Tip are present in the game files for Pokémon Sun and Moon but can't be found in-game. They are removed from the game files in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon.
;Trainer Tip
* There is a Pokémon that only evolves when it feels a lot of affection for its Trainer. Use [[Pokémon Refresh]] often to care for your Pokémon and encourage their affection!

;Advanced Tip
* Check out the [[Options]] menu on your lower screen sometime. From there, you can change game settings like whether or not to send newly caught Pokémon to your [[Pokémon Storage System|PC Boxes]] when your team is full!
