    The blue and red pokeballs are called great balls, and are different from the standard pokeballs. They have higher odds of capturing a pokemon than the standard ones. They can be accessed at level 12.

    Pikachu can theoretically be found in the wild, or in certain eggs at any GO level, but the most certain way to catch him is to walk away from the three typical starters when your game starts up about five times. Then, he should appear.
  • Question
    I can never seem to hatch my eggs in Pokemon Go, how can I hatch them faster?

    Community Answer
    Unfortunately, there is no ultra-fast way to hatch eggs since Niantic can detect if you are attempting to hatch eggs in a car, train, or other fast vehicle. The fastest possible way so far is to use GO while on a bike, or try going out for a jog. A good idea when trying to hatch eggs is to plan your egg hatching route in a straight line, since GO counts how much you walk by calculating the distance between your last recorded position and your current position in kilometers, making just walking around in circles not very effective for hatching.

    One way to get Pikachu is to play the game on a rainy day. Rain powers electric type Pokemon. However, you should stay inside, because you probably wouldn't want to go outside when it's rainy.
