How to play Pokémon GO without moving. All your friends do nothing but talk about Pokémon GO, a game for cell phones and tablets, through which it is possible to become Pokémon trainers, capturing the famous Nintendo monsters.
However, did you know that to play this title, you must walk around the city, in the real world, to reach some points of interest. But you’re a bit lazy and you’re looking for a technological solution to play this title even when you’re at home.
That’s why, in this tutorial, I’m going to teach How to play Pokémon GO without moving. In fact, during this guide I will explain in detail what solutions are available for you to succeed in the intention you have proposed, by using some official features of the game, but also by using some workarounds.
How to play Pokémon GO without moving, step by step.
Introductory information.
If you are wondering How to play Pokémon GO without moving, I must first let you know that Pokémon GO is a game for Android and iOS designed to play away from home and on the move.
In this regard, the main solutions to play the game are adamantly proposed by some users on the Web, in relation to software and / or third-party applications that simulate changing the GPS position, as they violate the terms and conditions of use of the service.
In addition, according to what Niantic (the game’s manufacturer) said in the official Pokémon GO FAQ, by making use of these solutions, it is possible to get a temporary or even permanent ban on your account, as they are considered cheat tools.
That said, if you still want to play Pokémon GO while at home, because, at the moment, you can not leave your home or move, you will be happy to know that it is still possible, by using some official solutions that I’m going to talk about in detail and that are available in the game.
Play Pokémon GO without walking
Pokémon GO is a game for Android and iOS / iPadOS that aims to make players real Pokémon trainers. Pokémon can be caught with virtual Poké Balls, walking the streets of your city.
To play Pokémon GO it is necessary to activate GPS on your cell phone / tablet and, keeping the game app open, keep moving, walking in the real world, in order to discover the points of interest marked on the game map and capture them.
However, Niantic is aware of the fact that players are sometimes unable to move (for example, in bad weather or, because of a global pandemic – who knows). And has introduced some official solutions that allow you to play Pokémon GO, without leaving home.
I refer to the use of use of lures: objects obtained in the game by completing levels, or purchased through the store. Thanks to these objects, it is possible to capture Pokémon even without moving from your position.
In addition, by activating the Synchro Adventure mode and granting permissions to connect to the health app on iOS or Google Fit on Android, you can get weekly rewards even when the game is closed, as it will track the steps taken.
That said, to take advantage of these official solutions, first launch the Pokémon GO app by pressing its icon found on the home screen. Now, log in to your account, if necessary, then make sure you have enabled location services on your device.
Now, you need to use bait modules (lures), to lure Pokémon to your position, so you can catch them more easily. To take advantage of this, press the Poké Ball Icon located on the main screen of the game, after which, in the menu that is displayed, tap the item Bag and press the object named incense or bait modules in relation to the type of Pokémon to be caught.
Then place this object on the map, near your position, to apply its effect.
Consequently, the evoked Pokémon will appear on the map and you can capture it using the Poké Ball.
These add-ons, you can buy them in store : the incense costs 80 coins each, while the bait modules cost 200 coins each.
To enable Synchro Adventure, instead, click on the Poké Ball Icon, then tap on the item settings, in the menu that is displayed to you. Now, check the item SynchroAdventure and confirm the option by pressing the allow button.
Also, be sure to grant permission to Pokémon GO to access the data from the health app on iOS or those of Google Fit on Android. Finally, check the items for Synchro Adventure: distance and Synchro Adventure: surroundings, to receive notifications of new rewards obtained.
To work, however, Synchro Adventure requires you to perform the movement: therefore, if you could not move and did not even have the opportunity to use the incense or of the bait module, check out the workarounds that I will talk about in the next paragraphs.
Other solutions to play Pokémon GO without moving
In addition to the official solutions I mentioned in the previous chapter, there are also some workarounds you can use to play Pokémon GO without moving. For more information on this, please refer to the instructions I am going to give you.
Play Pokémon GO at home
Even on a limited basis, you can play Pokémon GO at home.
To be successful, you must launch the game app on your device, as well as make sure you have GPS enabled. Once this is done, all you have to do is move from one point to another in the house: by doing so, new items may appear on the map to interact with, in order to capture new Pokémon as well.
You can repeat this operation even when you are in a friend’s house, especially if your house is particularly large: in fact, by moving inside it, it is also possible to capture Pokémon or interact with the items that appear on the map.
Play Pokémon GO in the car
Another alternative solution to play Pokémon GO without moving is to enable GPS and start the app on Android and iOS / iPadOS when you are in the car.
In this way, you can first move faster from one point to another, to reach places of interest, as well as make new items appear on the map.
Obviously, in this specific case, I remind you that there absolutely must be someone else driving the car: never play Pokémon GO while driving, to avoid dangerous accidents.
Play Pokémon GO on public transportation.
As an alternative to the solutions listed above, you can play Pokémon GO even when you are on public transport. In this way, thanks to surface transport or subway (where the Internet connection is available), you have the possibility to move, to reach the points of interest indicated on the virtual map of the game developed by Niantic.
Moreover, even in this case, you may be able to catch Pokémon that appear on the map, as your position will be updated and new items will appear with which you can interact. Have fun!
