It works off GPS and pedometer. But the way that they set it up, the GPS is much, much more accurate. The best way to track kms is to not do repetitive patterns, and hit pokestops as you go. The whole ceiling fan and turntable trick is incredibly slow. It works, but poorly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can say without a doubt this has happened. My favorite pokemon go story is the dude whose girlfriend caught him cheating because a bunch of his pokemon were caught at his ex's house.

The highlight though was when we all of a sudden heard someone yells out S-N-O-R-L-A-X from across the park, insane seeing about 40+ grown adults running as fast as they can to the corner of the park, ended up being a 1750 Snorlax, my second one but man it was fun! Yo I am playing this game wrong i swear that is so cool you got a 1750 snorlax; i still haven't seen one. Tonight the two 10k eggs I've been walking for three days hatched.......an evee and my 6th omninyte. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm currently testing this out since I won't be walking much for a few days after a car accident. Otherwise, tricking the system makes the game seem like it would be way less fun. I enjoy the hunt for pokestops and tracking km's. That said, I hatched an egg or two at my desk a couple days ago from a GPS glitch. It couldn't find me so my character kept wandering off and running back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It uses GPS displacement which means it check your gps, then says this is point A, several minutes later it checks again, creates a Point B then measures the distance between those 2 points.

museummouth Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 I leave it on while driving sometimes and it registers it seems only when I'm going slow. Maybe I'll drive 5 miles and it'll register 0.5-1.0 KM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dkrtz Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Dittos exist in the code but they do not have a spawn frequency set so just like Mewtwo, Mew and the birds they're uncatchable atm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of speed, it measures by a distance limit of ~300m. If you go over the distance limit in 60 seconds then it will not count. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you go over the distance limit in 60 seconds then it will not count. So basically bikes and stuff are useless too unless you're going walking speed. Would this make it to where running wasn't as effective either? Like what if you're running circles around a pretty small loop with multiple pokestops? Also does the game track steps while you have menus open; if I'm looking through my pokemon or trying to catch one and still running does it track my steps? this whole egg thing is really ambiguous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just got a strong Electrabuzz from a blue container and a weak ass Shellder from the reusable orange container. I'm also willing to bet this game gimps players who refuse to purchase anything. The same guy who was giving me shit for buying coins hasn't gotten anything cool in the last week and he's been playing significantly more than I have. These are just random ass theories I have, I can't prove either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deafening Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Had a pretty good day. Caught my first Cubone (I tried to catch one my first day playing and it froze every time. Thought that was gonna be it.) Slowpoke, Squirtle, Clefairy, Shellder, and Metapod, filled my bag to the brim with balls, and hatched a couple of non impressive eggs.

texan4life Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 At the brand new/modest mouse show last night, there was a pokestop on the venue and people had lures on it all night; it was fantastic!! The Butcha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
