Does Pokemon GO Work on the Treadmill? Exploring the Fun of Virtual Exploration

Last updated
Ever wondered if you can play Pokemon GO on the treadmill? Let’s dive into this quirky question and find out what’s possible in the world of augmented reality gaming.
So, the question on everyone’s mind is, “Can you catch ’em all while walking on the treadmill with Pokemon GO?”
Short Answer: Not Really
Unfortunately, Pokemon GO is cleverer than we think. The game uses your phone’s GPS to track your real-world movement. This means it knows when you’re on the move outdoors versus just walking or running in place on a treadmill.
Since Pokemon GO is designed to get players exploring their surroundings, catching Pokemons, and battling at different locations, simply walking or running on a treadmill doesn’t usually count towards in-game distance. That means no hatching eggs or finding new Pokemons while staying stationary indoors.
