Pokémon GO

Location-based Pokémon exploration with catching, buddy progress, gyms and cooperative raids.

Our take

Consider it for outdoor play with location awareness

Walking and nearby discoveries connect a collecting game to real-world routes.

Keep in mind: Device compatibility and location accuracy matter; the description contains historical 2019 device notes that should not override current minimum OS metadata.

What you can do

  • Explore nearby Pokémon.
  • Catch and build a Pokédex.
  • Develop a buddy and enter gym battles.
  • Join eligible raids and optional Adventure Sync.

Good for

  • Players who enjoy walking and location-based collecting.

Consider alternatives for

  • People requiring reliable play on a device without GPS or a fully offline game.

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: iOS 15.0.
  • Captured minimum: iOS 15; the older iOS 9/iPhone 5s paragraph is historical.
  • Pay attention to surroundings and location access during real-world play.

Privacy & permissions

GPS and optional Health-based Adventure Sync reveal movement-related information. Consider background permissions before enabling distance tracking.
