How To Use The Smoke In Pokémon Go

If you have the smoke, you should use it carefully. It is comparatively expensive and does not appear as often as, for example, the potions. If you want to use it, you should ideally use it in an exciting place. Find out where to catch which Pokémon here. Here's how to use the smoke:

1. Tap the Poké Ball at the bottom of the display and select the "Items" on the right.
2. Opt for the smoke. With a tip, this immediately sprays the fragrance to attract the wild Pokémon.
3. Tap the smoke again to see the map again. Then the time runs out. You can always see exactly how much time is left in the top right corner.
4. Collect all the Pokémon that will be shown to you until the time runs out. Then it continues as usual.

You should keep this in mind when using smoke

• You should always have enough Poké Balls in stock so that you can catch all of the wild Pokémon.
• Make sure that your cell phone or tablet stays on during this period and the app is open, otherwise the smoke has no effect.
• Don't expect miracles from the use of smoke. In the test, in which we really didn't move the smartphone at all, we came up with 7 Pokémon in half an hour. So you can expect a new Pokémon every four to five minutes.
• Don't be surprised if your character moves on the display even though you don't. That way, he seems to be on the lookout for new Pokémon without you having to do anything.
• Remember that you cannot pause the smoke. So you should make sure that you can really use the half hour.

Smoke: Catch more Pokémon by moving

If you move in "Pokémon Go" while using the smoke, you can catch more Pokémon. You should note the following:

• To keep a Pokémon from appearing every five minutes, you have to move with the smoke. Ideally, however, you should travel around 200 meters a minute. Only if you can do this will a wild Pokémon appear every minute. In total, you could encounter 30 Pokémon this way.
• But even if you can't do it, you should still move around. This increases the chance of catching more Pokémon - even if it is comparatively more difficult to catch the Pokémon while walking.
