Can You Connect Fitbit to Pokemon GO?
Last updated
Ever wondered if you can add a dash of fitness tracking to your Pokemon GO adventures by connecting your Fitbit? Let’s dive straight into this query and find out!
So, you’re on a Pokemon-catching spree, jogging around with your phone, and suddenly you think, “Can my Fitbit connect to Pokemon GO to track my steps even more closely?” You’re not alone in this thought, and we’ve got the scoop for you!
Short Answer: Not Directly
Currently, Fitbit devices cannot directly connect to Pokemon GO. The game uses your phone’s GPS to track movement and doesn’t directly sync with fitness trackers like Fitbit.
However, there’s a silver lining! Pokemon GO connects with Google Fit or Apple Health, depending on your device. These apps can collect data from your Fitbit, essentially allowing your steps to indirectly influence your Pokemon GO adventure.
Linking Fitbit Through Health Apps
To make this work, ensure your Fitbit syncs with either Google Fit or Apple Health. Once your fitness data is in these apps, Pokemon GO can use this info to hatch eggs and earn Buddy Candies based on the distance you’ve traveled. It’s a roundabout way, but it bridges the gap between Fitbit and Pokemon GO.
Though it isn’t a direct connection, this method still allows you to use your Fitbit to enhance your Pokemon GO experience by ensuring your physical activity counts toward in-game rewards.
