The 5 Essentials You Need to Throw the Ultimate Pokemon GO Party
Whether you're a fan of the game or looking to keep those kiddos entertained, we know what will make your next bash a huge success.
The obsession with Pokemon GO is real right now. Since the game's release, players of all ages have been scouring the neighborhood in search of Nidorans and Eeves. (Those are "pocket monsters" for you newbies.)
While we don’t need a reason to throw a party, this definitely seems like an opportunity in the making. You've already secured a location—aka, your backyard or the nearest park—and entertainment. Here's everything else you'll need to host the ultimate Pokemon GO party.

If you and your friends are going to be the very best, you'll need to dress the part. Leave the loafers and heels at home and lace up your comfiest pair of sneakers. Your feet will thank us for it later!
2: Portable Charger

The last thing you want is to run out of battery power when you're finally about to snag that Snorlax. Keep the party going and tuck a few portable chargers into your backpack. You'll easily catch 'em all as you move from one Pokestop to the next.
3: Bug Repellent

Pokemon aren't the only things roaming the neighborhood. To keep pests at bay, create a "Relief Station" complete with bug spray and anti-inch lotion. If you're playing in the backyard, you can also light citronella candles, which will ward off mosquitoes and evoke a nice ambience.

4: Food Fix
Don't forget to get your food fix! In the spirit of collecting different Pokemon candy, fill jars with pretzels and gummies. Or, for a healthy alternative, substitute the sweets with fruit and granola.

Whether you're Team Instinct, Team Mystic or Team Valor, we can all get behind an ice-cold drink. Once you've made it home, wind down with a fruit-infused cocktail (or lemonade for the kiddos).
