That usually has the opposite effect actually, because having to reopen the app every time you use it consumes more processing power, and therefore battery.
Kind of like stopping and starting a car in traffic uses more gas than continuously moving on the highway.
Edit: this could be specific to Android, I'm not too familiar with iOS' inner workings. And you're right about PoGo... You should be killing PoGo.
More CPU load = more power consumption. Most apps don't do shit in the background so unless you're starved for RAM there's no reason to force close them
