Pokemon Go’s latest Adventure Sync update is the new key mechanic towards hatching your eggs without having to pull your phone out of your pocket. Just by keeping active in your everyday routines, users can hatch eggs without denting their phone’s battery life. And an added bonus lets users earn rewards for reaching weekly milestones.
Pokemon Go appears to have an upper speed limit of 6.2mph (10kmh) – any faster and the distance travelled will not count towards hatching eggs.
This theoretically prevents trainers cheating the game while travelling at high speeds by car, for example.
Some canny gamers have however taken to Reddit to share a clever method to trick the system.
It seems if you cycle slowly extremely slowly – at just below 6.2mph (10kmh) – Pokemon Go will think you are moving at a brisk pace or slow jog or run.
vCard.red is a free platform for creating a mobile-friendly digital business cards. You can easily create a vCard and generate a QR code for it, allowing others to scan and save your contact details instantly.
The platform allows you to display contact information, social media links, services, and products all in one shareable link. Optional features include appointment scheduling, WhatsApp-based storefronts, media galleries, and custom design options.
You should even be able to use the same trick to speed up the amount of distance you cover every day with Adventure sync.
Cruise just below that speed limit and you should see all of your incubated eggs hatch in no time.
Reddit user u/GiltinJr said: “If you go over 10kmh it doesn’t work so basically only snails can bike.”
