Does Pokemon Go Work on a Treadmill?
Last updated
Ever wondered if you can hatch your Pokemon Go eggs while walking or running on a treadmill? Let’s dive into that question.
So, does Pokemon Go work on a treadmill? Here’s what you need to know.
Short Answer: Yes, with a Catch!
Yes, Pokemon Go can count your steps and distance when you’re using a treadmill. However, it’s not just a simple walk in the park. Since Pokemon Go uses your phone’s GPS to track movement, the trick to making it work on a treadmill involves a bit of creativity.
To ensure Pokemon Go tracks your treadmill activity, you’ll need to keep your phone with you as you move. Some players even shake their phone lightly or move around a small space to mimic outdoor walking. Remember, the game is designed to encourage exploring the outdoors, so indoor tracking might not be as straightforward.
