The best phone to play
According to gamers, it is best to play on gadgets with 2 GB of RAM for Android and 8.0 for iOS. The game is faster on smartphones than on tablets. Possible installation problems on devices using Intel processors.
To play, you need a constant, stable 3G or Wi-Fi internet connection. Activate the enhanced accuracy mode in the GPS settings, if there is one.
Battery capacity is sooooo important. The appetite for this game is colossal! With the GPS on and the screen on, the GPU in use and the camera on, the battery runs out very quickly.
Playing on a device with a weak battery will not last long. Power Bank (portable charger) - a device that will help out far from the outlet, will help prolong the pleasure. Choose a device with a large battery capacity. Kill two birds with one stone.

Aquatic Pokémon live near bodies of water. Go to the beach - sunbathe and catch a couple at the same time!
In forests and parks, you can hunt for forest Pokémon. Yellow "monsters" love berries. This is a great excuse to get away from the bustle of the city. The nature outings and mini hikes will be even more fun with the support of company.
Most of the Pocket Stops are located in urban areas. Hunt at work, shop or park. Just be careful when crossing the road!
You can also grow eggs in an incubator. There are three types of eggs: 2 km, 5 km and 10 km. The rarest Pokémon hatch from ten kilometers. Cover this distance and see how the creatures grow. Move! Here's a reason to go jogging or walking in the fresh air.
Joke... We met resourceful unique people who drive mileage on gyroboards and gyroscooters. Do not forget, the speed should not exceed 8 km per hour.
Some went even further. The guys from the Dronemon Go team took a quadcopter, installed a smartphone on it and brought the remote control of the screen to a laptop. It looks funny: one person controls a quadcopter, and the other catches Pokémon sitting at a laptop.
Playing in a company is generally interesting! Conduct raids to conquer arenas with friends! Be careful - in real life there are "bad guys" - members of the R team. There were cases when attackers deliberately waited and robbed players near the pocketstops.
