Have you ever wondered if your Fitbit can team up with your Pokemon GO adventures? It’s a common question among players looking to maximize their gaming experience.

So, can your trusty Fitbit connect to Pokemon GO? Let’s dive straight into the heart of this query and find out.

Short Answer: Not Directly

As much as we’d love for our Fitbit and Pokemon GO to work together in perfect harmony, the truth is, they don’t connect directly. But don’t let that dampen your spirits just yet! There’s more to this story.

While you can’t link Fitbit directly to Pokemon GO, there are workarounds that allow you to use Fitbit’s step tracking to your advantage in the game. Specifically, you can sync your Fitbit with your smartphone’s health app, then connect the health app to Pokemon GO through the Adventure Sync feature. This roundabout way lets Pokemon GO count the steps you’ve taken, even if it’s doing so indirectly through Fitbit’s data.

How Fitbit Steps Can Still Count in Your Pokemon GO Adventure

To make your Fitbit steps count in Pokemon GO, you’ll need to set up Adventure Sync. This feature uses the health data from your phone to track your walking distance in Pokemon GO, even when the app isn’t open.

Here’s a quick guide: Sync your Fitbit with your phone’s health app (like Apple Health or Google Fit), then enable Adventure Sync in Pokemon GO’s settings. Voila! You’re now converting your Fitbit steps into in-game progress, hatching eggs and earning Buddy Candy as you stride.
