Last updated
Ever wondered how to track down your favorite Pokemon on Pokemon GO? You’re in the right place!
So, you want to catch ’em all but don’t know where to start? Let’s dive into how you can find a Pokemon in the popular mobile game, Pokemon GO.
Quick Steps to Finding Pokemon
Finding Pokemon in Pokemon GO is all about exploring the world around you. The game uses your phone’s GPS to pinpoint your location and show Pokemon nearby. Get ready to walk around your neighborhood or visit new places!
On your screen, you’ll see a map of your current location. Look for rustling leaves; that’s a sign a Pokemon might be nearby. You can also check the ‘Nearby’ list on your screen for icons showing which Pokemon are close. The footprints underneath each Pokemon icon tell you how far they are. No footprints? You’re super close!
Using Items to Attract Pokemon
Want to boost your chances of finding Pokemon? Use items like Incense and Lure Modules. Incense draws Pokemon to your location for 30 minutes, while Lure Modules are used at PokeStops to attract Pokemon for all players nearby. It’s a great way to find more Pokemon and maybe even make new friends.
Remember, Pokemon types are often related to their environment. So, if you’re looking for a Water-type Pokemon, try heading to a lake or a river. Exploring different areas at different times can lead to exciting discoveries!
