Ever wondered if you can sync Pokemon GO with your Apple Watch? Well, you’re not alone! It’s a question many trainers ask as they look for ways to enhance their Pokemon-catching adventures.

Let’s dive into whether Pokemon GO has compatibility with the Apple Watch and how this can potentially change the way you play.

Short Answer: No, Not Anymore

In the past, Pokemon GO did sync with the Apple Watch, allowing trainers to track their steps, receive notifications about nearby Pokemon, and even log their gameplay as a workout. However, as of July 1, 2019, Niantic, the game’s developer, ended support for the Apple Watch.

This change means that, currently, you cannot directly sync Pokemon GO with your Apple Watch. The decision was made to focus on the Adventure Sync feature, which lets players track their steps and earn rewards in Pokemon GO by syncing their smartphones with various fitness apps.

Connect with Adventure Sync Instead

Even though direct syncing with the Apple Watch isn’t possible anymore, you can still use the Adventure Sync feature. This feature works with many fitness apps available on iOS devices, including those that are compatible with the Apple Watch. By enabling Adventure Sync in Pokemon GO, you can count your steps and earn rewards without having the game open on your phone.

Adventure Sync uses the health data from your fitness apps to track your distance traveled. This makes it easier for trainers to hatch Pokemon eggs and earn Buddy Candy, even when they’re not actively playing the game.
