Quit now because everything good is legacy.

Otherwise:

- Make friends. It's the best source of experience. Stack and lucky egg your friendship milestones.
- Try to get in on raids. It's a source of powerful Pokemon, and other players can carry you. Find out how other people in your location communicate.
- 7-day research pokemon are fairly weak, but are good for new players
- Do NOT evolve your good Pokemon as a newbie, it's a waste of candies. (Exception: community day) Try to wait until you hit level 30. Your goal is to store candies for pokemon with high CP and IV.
- Get an IV checker. Look for high IVs.
- Do the community day events if at all possible. They're a good source of shinies and the exclusive moves are typically very strong.

Things to try to do daily:
- Catch a pokemon
- Spin a stop
- Raid, get a raid pass from a gym (you can raid twice every other day as well)
- Claim a research quest
- Send and open gifts
- Battle one NPC and three friends

Now, I don't do all that stuff daily, because I find it a lot, but that's the list.
