Pokémon Go tips, tricks and cheats guide - Part 2

Increase your egg hatching productivity by not moving at all

Another trick that players have discovered that if you leave the game open when you're not moving - such as on your desk at work - your Trainer can sometimes step slightly from side-to-side as the phone continues to narrow down your GPS position. These little movements count as walking towards hatching, so it might be worth keeping the app open to slowly chip away when you can - assuming you can trust co-workers not to mess with your phone away from your desk, of course!

But you can't hatch eggs faster by using public transport

Since the game uses the amount of distance you have travelled to hatch eggs and unlock certain medals, you might think that catching a bus or train is a quick way of travelling large distances. However, the game will know that you are travelling too fast, and won't register the movement at all - and even gives you a warning when it happens. As if things were that easy!

That said, if you're not needing to track specific Pokémon, then using public transport is a great way to increase your chances of encountering them out in the wild, especially in busier urban areas.Remember you can complete a capture without having to stay in a fixed position, so don't worry if the bus or train speeds away.

While public transport also isn't a great way to interact with Gyms, since they require you to be in their radius for the duration of their use, can 'queue up' a PokéStop interaction up ahead before you pass through it, and then spin the screen at the right time.

There's a way to see which Pokémon you caught recently

When browsing your Pokémon, you might have noticed some have a blue glow to them - this means they have been caught in the past 24 hours.

While you can already filter your roster by Recent, it allows you to differentiate at a glance if you are browsing by Pokédex number, CP and name, too.

Out of Revives? Then have Candy at the ready...

This is a short but sweet tip; if you're out of Revives and need to resurrect a creature, then spend Candy through a Power Up or Evolve and it'll come back to life with HP. Handy if you're in a pinch!
