Pokémon GO quickly exploded into popularity because of the fun element of the game but the raw enjoyment also entails miles of walking in order to progress. Thankfully, cheats, tips and tricks are readily available that would prevent players from getting sore feet - that is play the game but cut down on walking.
Courtesy of Tech Insider, below are three ingenious alternatives to walking while accelerating the process of hatching eggs:
Get the dog into the gameplay
For eggs to hatch walking is a must and there is one buddy that can be depended on such a mission - your dog. Tech Insider said that man's best friend is actually a good Pokémon GO trainer, certainly more than willing to do most of the walking for a gamer.
The simple hack works like this: strap the smartphone, with the Pokémon GO app all fired up, to a dog and allow him to do what he does best - roam around. Two things to keep in mind when using this cheat - it's best that players unleash their friend on a location where high there is high concentration of Pokémon and make sure that the dog remains within sight lest somebody might be tempted to grab the mobile device.
Hatch eggs without leaving home
Another way to hatch eggs will not require stepping out of the house. Gamers who happen to own a Roomba, a robotic vacuum cleaner, can make use of the cleaning device to help them simulate walking and convince Pokémon GO that they are on the move.
The trick is fairly similar with the dog hack - attach the mobile device with Pokémon GO running on a Roomba and it's good to go. For sure, the game application will read the movement and should speed up the hatching of eggs.
Play the DJ
Or players can make use of the family turntable. Instead of placing a vinyl on the device it will be the phone on the spinning plate with users making sure that handset will not turn off during the whole egg-hatching maneuver. And like the previous tips, this hack is doable right under the roof of a house, Tech Insider said.
As for the best way to catch Pokémon, Slash Gear said that "Pokémon appear in crowded areas more often than they do in the middle of a field." So the place to head to are parks, malls and any other public places. And if the object is to corner water-type Pokémon in great numbers the compass should point to a beach, the report added.
