Strategic use of consumables like Incense or Lure Modules can amplify encounter rates, while timing Lucky Eggs/Star Pieces with specific bonuses yields compounded rewards.

Coordinating with secondary mechanics like Meltan’s Mystery Box during Candy bonuses or activating relevant Mega Evolutions can create synergistic advantages. Event bonuses often provide underutilized progression opportunities regardless of featured Pokémon relevance.
