One of the complications on many occasions to defend or get a gym in Pokémon GO is the distance at which we are from them. However, a little trick has recently been discovered that will help us increase this distance in such a way that it will make life easier for us to fight and eliminate other teams without having the Exploration Bonus activated.
And it is that since Niantic changed its mind about the Exploration Bonus, which allowed Pokémon trainers to interact with more distant Gyms and PokeStops, the truth is that there have been many players who have been in serious trouble to be able to fight and get objects. In addition, the company decided to eliminate this possibility, arguing that it was no longer necessary, as it is a measure that they applied with the arrival of the global health crisis.
The trick to reach more gyms in Pokémon GO
It is clear that it will not be exactly the same as the option that Niantic enabled at the time, although with this method to double the distance of gyms nothing bad will come. However, it does not work for all smartphone operating systems, so you should try your luck on your mobile.
In the case of iOS, it has been proven that it works. But, on the contrary, there have already been many Android users who have assured that it is useless. If in your case you have an iPhone, you are in luck, because you can achieve this increase in distance by following these steps. Although you can also try it on your Android smartphone and do the test yourself:
- Close the Pokémon GO app.
- Access the location services and deactivate them.
- Reopen the game.
Once this is done, we will receive a notice that will appear on the panel of our mobile device that will ask us to activate our location again. When we enable it again, we will have managed to increase the distance of the gyms of the Niantic title. However, it has already been proven that it does not work in the case of PokeStops. However, it is a useful method to be able to continue fighting with the rest of the players from a further distance.
Although, the truth is that in some countries, the company has reactivated the Exploration Bonus . But, for now, in Spain we will have to settle for this little trick that is of great help.
