How to play Pokémon GO at home

Pokémon GO is so successful not only because of the collecting character. The principle of having to be constantly on the move for further player success sets Pokémon GO apart from all other well-known games. But Pokémon GO also makes exceptions - playing from home is not impossible.

With some tricks, you can even play Pokémon GO at home.

Play Pokémon Go at home: The possibilities

For a long time, it was only possible to play Pokémon GO from home to a very limited extent. To what extent this was possible depended solely on your place of residence and whether it was in close proximity to a Pokéstop. In the meantime, however, the developer Niantic has introduced some innovations.

1. So now more monsters appear in your own apartment building or your own street.
2. Also, participation in the Pokémon GO Battle League is now possible from home and without going for a walk.
3. In addition, it is possible with a remote Raid Pass to participate in raids nearby from home. For this, select an arena on the map or in the "Nearby" tab.
4. In addition, you can still ensure that Pokémon appear in your radius of action. To do this, tap on the Pokéball at the bottom center in the app. Tap on "Items" and then on "Smoke" to attract Pokémon for the next 30 minutes.

Trick 17: So you can even hatch Pokémon eggs at home

Especially the eggs require movement. This is measured by GPS - and you can take advantage of this at home. Numerous videos show how it works: so you can put your smartphone on a model train, attach it to a fan or the pedals of your bike. However, the Pokémon GO app must always be open so that the kilometers are measured.
