How to use a lock module in "Pokémon Go"
In "Pokémon Go" you have the chance to catch more Pokémon in a certain place if you use a so-called lock module. We show you step by step how to do it:
- Go to a PokéStop near you and tap on it.
- Then select the small white box below the PokéStop name.
- A window similar to the screenshot opens. Select your lock module here and insert it. Pokémon are immediately attracted to the PokéStop and you can catch them directly.
Lock modules: You should take this into account when attracting Pokémon
Once you use lock modules in Pokémon Go, you need to know that you are not the only one to benefit from it. You can find out what to consider here:
- Lock modules attract wild Pokémon for a period of 30 minutes. You should be close to the PokéStop.
- Other "Pokémon Go" players will benefit from your lock module if you are also nearby. So you can, for example, meet up with your friends and go on a Pokémon hunt together. So it is possible that everyone uses a lock module and you benefit from it several times - after all, you cannot snatch the pocket monsters from each other.
- If the lock module is already active, you cannot use a new one. This is not necessary either. If you are near a PokéStop with an active lock module, you can hunt the Pokémon with you.
