Trainers, hatching Eggs, and earning Candy with your Buddy just got a little easier. The following trick, well actually there are two tricks, will help you hatch Eggs and earn Candy with your Buddy faster and without walking.
Some might think of this as cheating, while others can find it useful, as it does not require much time and attention, making it great for people that are not able to walk a certain amount of distance, or simply do not have time to do it.
So, here is everything you should do.
Trick #1
- Make sure Adventure Sync is turned on in Settings
- Make yourself comfortable by sitting or laying down
- Start shaking your phone UP and DOWN
- The Adventure Sync will start to count the shaking as steps. Sometimes it takes some time until the app starts to catch up
- The app doesn’t have to be open
Make sure you shake the phone up and down and do it at the pace of a jog.
According to one of our followers, you can shake the phone in any direction as long as you’re going back and forth. He is using this trick for a long time now and discovered how long we have to shake the phone to reach 1km, 5km, and 10km. Check it out below.
- 10 minutes = 1km
- 30 minutes = 5km
- 1 hour = 10km
Trick #2 and an easier way
- Get a sock out of your drawer
- Put your phone in the sock
- Simply move it up and down
Result: 1.6 KM after 5-6 minutes of bouncing.
