Pokemon Go: Ingenious tricks to hatch eggs quickly

Hatching eggs takes a long time in Pokémon Go. We'll introduce you to a few ingenious tricks that your Pokémon will hatch out with little effort. Clearly: The tips are particularly suitable for lazy Pokémon fans and are of course not really in the spirit of the inventor.

The problem with hatching eggs in "Pokémon Go"

The "Pokémon Go" game app for Android and iOS allows you to find and hatch Poké Eggs. However, this takes a long time, because you have to walk at least 2 to 10 kilometers for one of the eggs to hatch. You can find out how it works in detail here.

• The app does not depend on your steps, but rather on the distance covered, which is determined via GPS.
• You have to make sure that the app stays on and does not go into stand-by mode. The "Battery saver" setting can help against the resulting battery problem.
• It is important that you actually walk, because the app recognizes when you are traveling unusually fast. So by putting your phone in the car and driving around, you won't be able to hatch the eggs. We will therefore present you with effective tips below.
• Warning: with most of these tips you risk the life of your smartphone. We accept no liability for any damage.

Tip 1: hatch the egg with your bike

If you turn the smartphone over and over again, the GPS signal signals that you are moving even though you are actually just sitting. You can use this knowledge to trick people - for example by bike.

1. Turn your bike upside down and attach your smartphone to the spokes with adhesive strips.
2. Now move the pedals by hand so that the wheel turns. You will see how quickly your Poké eggs hatch.

Tip 2: Use a vacuum cleaner robot

A vacuum cleaner robot is very effective if you don't want to or can't move yourself. This way you can also get the route full - although not as quickly as with the bicycle trick.

• Attach your smartphone to the vacuum cleaner robot and switch it on. Now the robot covers your route and you can sit back and relax.

Tip 3: Let your pet help you

With a dog you can hatch the eggs in "Pokémon Go" very quickly. If you have an active cat, it is also worth trying.

1. Attach the smartphone to the pet, for example using dog harnesses that have pockets.
2. Now let your pet run around the house and check it out later. Your Poké Eggs will hatch very quickly.

Tip 4: Turn the turntable to hatch

If you still have an old record player in the basement, it is high time to put it back into operation. You can use it to hatch eggs in "Pokémon Go". That's how it works:

1. Place your smartphone on the turntable.
2. Now switch it on or alternatively turn it by hand if it no longer works. And the app thinks you've covered part of the route.

Tip 5: Use your chance as a passenger

As a passenger, you can also hatch Poké eggs if the vehicle is moving as slowly as possible. Important: You may only use this tip as a passenger or co-driver if you are currently traveling by train, bus or other vehicle, for example. As a driver, you must under no circumstances use the app on the road, as this is life-threatening - for yourself and all other road users. There are also points and a fine.

• However, as a passenger or passenger you can play with the app. If the vehicle is particularly slow, for example because there are many traffic lights on the way, you will be credited with a small part of the route. Important: Do not try to influence the speed under any circumstances, as this is also dangerous. This tip is only suitable for getting closer to hatching the eggs if you are currently traveling with someone.
• Even as a cyclist, you can make up part of the route if you drive slowly through the area. The best place to do this is in rural areas where you don't bother anyone. But here too, pay attention to road traffic and don't expose yourself to any danger. You are also not allowed to use the cell phone as a cyclist, as otherwise there is a risk of a fine. However, you can put the smartphone in your pocket and see how effective it was after cycling.
• You can also get similar results with a slow bus because it often stops, especially in cities. It is only important that you do not proceed too quickly, because then the app will notice this and will not calculate any kilometers for you. Note: Begging the bus driver, but please drive slowly, should be avoided. He too has to concentrate on traffic.

Tip 6: hatch the Poké Egg with the ceiling fan

You may also have a ceiling fan. This is also suitable for hatching the eggs in "Pokémon Go".

• Attach the smartphone to the ceiling fan and switch it on. Make sure that neither the smartphone nor people or other objects can be injured or damaged.
• Thanks to the rotations, the eggs in "Pokémon Go" also hatch quickly.

Tip 7: Use a remote-controlled car to hatch the eggs

The remote controlled car can help you hatch the Poké Eggs faster. How to use the tips:

• Stick your smartphone to the remote-controlled car with adhesive strips and make sure that it cannot fall off.
• Now take a few laps with the remote-controlled car - preferably on routes where your cell phone will fall gently when in doubt.

Tip 8: Let your drone hatch the Poké Eggs

With a drone, you can also easily hatch the Poké Eggs in "Pokémon Go". That's how it works:

• Attach your smartphone to the drone or quadrocopter as usual and then let it fly. Instead of beautiful shots, you can now also hatch Poké eggs.

Tip 9: Use the model train to hatch

The model train or other toy trains are also a good way to hatch the eggs in "Pokémon Go". That's how it's done:

• Place the smartphone in a wagon or otherwise attach it to the train. Now start the train journey and the eggs will hatch quickly.

Tip 10: Rotate the cell phone to hatch

A somewhat more difficult task is to rotate the cell phone yourself. Although it is possible, it takes comparatively longer and is only crowned with little success at the right pace. A few tips on how to hatch the eggs without tools:

• Rotate the phone with your hands. To do this, always turn it around its own axis. Try to find the right pace. You will only get a feel for it over time. If you are lucky, part of the route will be recognized.
• With circular movements at the right tempo, the display also goes up. Just pretend that you want to imitate the bike movements from tip 1 by hand. It's also not as effective, but it helps when there are only a few steps left.
• If nothing helps and you do not have any of the tools mentioned, you should simply take a short walk and hatch the eggs from "Pokémon Go" in this way.
