Even more effective is when you have a PokéStop in front of your door. Activate a Lure Module and catch over 80 Pokémon with Incense and the module.
Tip 2: Open your gifts: If you catch many Pokémon from home, you also lose some Poké Balls. You can easily refill these by opening your maximum number of gifts daily. Important balls are often included there.

Tip 3: Note your hourly spawns: If you’re lucky and have Pokémon in front of your door, you should note the spawn times. This way, you can enter the game every hour and at least catch the Pokémon that sit in front of your door.
Tip 4: Use the PvP League: The latest feature of Pokémon GO comes in handy, as you don’t have to go outside for the PvP League, but can comfortably battle trainers from around the world from home.
Thanks to Niantic’s measures, you no longer have to walk several kilometers for a battle set. This is temporarily suspended for the time being.
You can use the time at home to create strong teams and measure yourself against trainers worldwide.
Tip 5: Sort your Pokémon finally: Many of you will be in the same boat as I am. The Pokémon box is full, and instead of thoroughly cleaning up, the time was preferably spent catching Pokémon.
If you are now often at home, you have enough time to sort out your collection. Check the IVs, teach the right moves, and level up some monsters.
Tip 6: Use a Lucky Egg again: Most XP now comes from friendships, but if you are currently spending time at home, you can activate a Lucky Egg again and evolve Pokémon.
If you evolve them quickly, you can easily get over 70,000 XP in half an hour. This can definitely be worth it, especially if you want to level up.
Extra Tip: Combine your tasks with the game: While you should avoid contact with other people, tasks like shopping or going to work still need to be done. Use this time to spin some PokéStops or catch some monsters. Perhaps you can also settle into a gym on the way and secure the coins for the day.

Niantic has taken numerous measures to help contain the coronavirus:
- EX-Raids have been canceled
- The Community Day has been postponed
- Gifts come more frequently from PokéStops
Consider that there is currently a danger of contracting the coronavirus for yourself and others. The Federal Centre for Health Education recommends staying at home as much as possible, keeping your distance from others, and avoiding gatherings of people. Niantic has implemented various measures so that you can play Pokémon GO from home.
Public life in Germany has largely come to a standstill due to the coronavirus. This also affects Pokémon GO, as experts recommend staying at home as much as possible. We show you ways to play effectively despite this.
This is the situation: Due to the coronavirus COVID-19, we are currently in the midst of a pandemic. The population in affected areas is urged to avoid close contact with other people.
This also affects Pokémon GO, as playing together in the real world without this contact is only difficult. Especially during group raids, larger gatherings of players can occur.
However, Niantic has taken measures to make playing from home easier worldwide. We show you here the most effective ways to play Pokémon GO without necessarily having direct contact with others.
How to play effectively from home
Tip 1: Use your Incense: This item is currently available once for one coin in the shop. For this, you will receive 30 of the item. It’s worth it because with Incense you can catch a lot of Pokémon without even moving.
Thanks to Niantic’s adjustments, a new Pokémon appears every minute from the Incense, and the item lasts for an hour. You can therefore catch 60 monsters per hour just with this. The 30 free Incenses bring 30 hours of fun, and you don’t even have to get off the couch.
Even more effective is when you have a PokéStop in front of your door. Activate a Lure Module and catch over 80 Pokémon with Incense and the module.
Tip 2: Open your gifts: If you catch many Pokémon from home, you also lose some Poké Balls. You can easily refill these by opening your maximum number of gifts daily. Important balls are often included there.
