* Physical/Special is no longer tied to the attack’s type. They’re now all determined individually.  
==General==
* Use whoever you want to use, you don't really need to feel obligated to use a 'competitive' team or whatever for an in-game playthrough. Some are better than others, of course, but the game doesn't really penalize you for using the "wrong" ones.
 
* Don't be ashamed to keep a type-interaction chart handy. Some of them are pretty obvious (Fire beats Grass), while others are... less so. (Dark is weak to Fighting and Bug.)
 
* Physical attacks (yellow starburst on red) use Attack, Special attacks use Special Attack (white ripple on blue). When a 'mon uses an attack that matches its type, its power is boosted by 50%. This is called the Same-Type Attack Bonus (STAB). Use this information when deciding what moves to use.
 
* For a rough estimate of different moves' relative power, multiply the user's relevant attacking stat by the move's power.
 
* Using the EXP Share (in X/Y and later) quadruples your XP gain and spreads it out among your entire party. As you might imagine, this tends to make the game very easy.
 
* Pokemon Amie will raise a pokemon’s affection, which in turn gives it an experience bonus, lets it spontaneously shrug off status effects, hold on at 1hp, and so on. There's not really any special trick to power leveling it. Striped and Rainbow Pokebeans are worth a '''lot''' of affection.
 
==Game-Specific==


* Fairy type is a new one. They’re strong against Fighting, Dark, and Dragon but match poorly with Poison, Steel, and Fire.

* Playing the grooming game will raise a pokemon’s affection, which in turn gives it an experience bonus, lets it spontaneously shrug off status effects, hold on at 1hp, and so on. It takes 3 rainbow pokebeans or approx. 10,000,000 regular ones to get it to max.
* Ultra Pokemon/Legendaries are mostly tied into the story (usually toward the end or postgame) and are pretty clearly telegraphed.
 
* As far as Missable Ultra Pokemon go, I think they’re all tied into the story (mostly toward the end or postgame) and are pretty clearly telegraphed, but the only one that really sneaks up on you is Tapu Koko. The story changes in Ultra Sun so may want to look up where you fight it so you can be prepared.
