Pokémon Go game system follows rules and conditions for sure. But most people try to bend those rules by trying to find ways to beat the system. When it comes to hatching a Pokémon egg, here's an easy hack you can use, provided that you have this one tool.
Hatch A Pokémon Using A Massager
To hatch a Pokémon egg, you would have to move around and walk or run some kilometers. What a great way to promote exercise, right? But certified couch potatoes don't want to be bothered walking and so they tried to find ways on how to hatch an egg without actually walking outside. If you have a handheld massager, you're in luck. These Pokémon trainers shared via RocketNews24 how they used the massager to hatch their Pokémon egg that would supposedly take almost 5 kilometers of a walk.
As shown in the video, the massager was used to "massage" the screen of the phone, and during the process, the Pokémon Trainer moved around the map while in actuality, the player didn't even make a single step. After around 15 minutes of rapid tapping on the phone screen using the handheld massager, the egg hatched and a newborn Poliwag came out.
But before you try this trick, the originators have warned on the possible negative impact of the massager on the screen of your mobile phone, particularly on its touch sensors. So do it at your own risk. In addition, it will actually take faster to hatch the Pokémon egg if you do the walking than massage your phone's screen. That is if the game's tracker work right.
Pokémon Go Flawed Movement Tracking
A player shared with Kotaku how the Pokémon eggs he is incubating did not hatch even after he had run some 12 kilometers. And he's not alone. There are other reports from users regarding the glitches and flaws on how the game measures your movement. Some distances were miscalculated like only 1.5k was credited with a 5-kilometer run.
