Keep your route in order

This post is aimed at those who do not use the plus, but are entirely dependent on the phone. If you're using the plus you're basically able to fire away at every target within sight as long as you take your pokestops with your phone.

Most of us have habitual routes we walk (or cycle, or whatever) when we catch pokemon and take pokestops.

Those routes may vary depending on wether we primarily catch pokemon or primarily refill our bags.

In the latter case, learn to keep your route in order. I personally use trams for refilling bags.

Even when you're only after replenishing your bag, there are places where pokestop-density becomes lower in terms of time needed. Ie there's a 30 second or longer period between two pokestops you want to take. This is a perfect opportunity to squeeze in an extra attemot at catching a pokemon.

Don't be afraid to run away from the catch if the pokemon doesn't stick.

It doesn't add a lot, but a twenty minute tram ride gives me maybe an extra dozen pokemon caught where I earlier didn't try to catch one at all. In the long run it sums up.

If you're moving in traffic, red lights are added opportunities to cram in an extra throw or two.
