Swipe left or right on your pokemon to dodge incoming attacks.
Tap the opponent repeatedly to attack, watch your power meter fill top left, once it is full tap and hold the opponent until the line grows to fill your power meter then release, this unleashes your special attack.
I have beaten Pokemon 3 or 4 hundred CP higher than me.
