Pokémon GO now offers players the option to transfer step data from the Google Fit and Apple Health apps into the game using the new Adventure Sync feature. We’ll explain how this works in detail here in our quick tip.
If you want to hatch eggs and collect candies with your buddy Pokémon in Pokémon GO, you have to walk a lot. Until now, however, the whole thing had a crucial catch: To collect steps, players had to keep the app active all the time, which in turn cost a lot of battery life. Besides, who remembers to turn on Pokémon GO regularly when they’re on foot for a while?
Fortunately, Niantic has now come up with a solution for this problem: Pokémon GO can now be synchronized with Google Fit and Apple Health, which allows you to transfer the steps collected in these two apps to Pokémon GO. At the same time, this not only works with smartphones, but also with all devices that support Google Fit and Apple Health.
Pokémon GO: Adventure Sync – Configuration
However, in order for the synchronization between the respective app and Pokémon GO to take place properly, you first need to configure the apps. This works as follows on Android (via Pokemongohub):
- Activate the Adventure Sync function in Pokémon GO.
- Select a Google account that you want to use for Adventure Sync.
- Allow Pokémon GO to read your Google Fit data.
iPhone users proceed like this:
- Open the Apple Health app.
- Select the “Sources” function.
- Click on “Pokémon GO.”
- Activates the “Activate all categories” function.
Pokémon GO: Adventure Sync – Rewards.
If you sync Pokémon GO with Apple Health or Google Fit, you will receive special rewards for multiple completed milestones:
- 5km: 20x Pokeball
- 25km: 20x Pokeball, 10x Superball plus 5000 stardust or 5km egg (only if you have a free egg slot)
- 50km: 20x Pokeball, 10x Superball plus 15,000 stardust or 5000 stardust and 10km egg or 10km egg and a rare candy or 10,000 stardust and a rare candy
These rewards are distributed once a week. If you run more than 50 kilometers in a week, you will not receive any additional rewards. Pokemongohub has calculated how far you need to run every day to unlock the weekly rewards:
- 5km: 0.71 km / 931 steps per day
- 25km: 3.57 km / 4593 steps per day
- 50km: 7.14 km / 9317 steps per day
Adventure Sync should update itself with the data from the respective health app at least once an hour. Normally, however, the synchronization takes place practically in real time. By the way: Adventure Sync works without an activated Pokémon GO app, GPS and data connection. The respective Health app takes over the tracking of your steps, which is why Pokémon GO and the two functions do not have to be active at the same time. As soon as you reconnect your smartphone to the Internet, Adventure Sync synchronizes your data with the cloud and then uploads it to Pokémon GO.
Pokémon GO
Pokémon Go is the mobile spin-off of Nintendo’s popular Pokémon game series for Android and iOS. It is a so-called “location-based game”, i.e. a game that uses the player’s immediate surroundings. It is based on the principle of augmented reality.
Pokémon Map: Between landmarks and sights
Pokémon Go uses a Global Positioning System (GPS) to determine the player’s location and displays it on a map that also represents the playing field. The map is based on OpenStreetMap maps. The game is played mostly outdoors and uses landmarks, landmarks and other notable or eye-catching objects in the world to position either PokéStops or arenas there for you to battle for supremacy. Join either Team Intuition (Team Yellow, Zapdos), Team Wisdom (Team Blue, Arktos), or Team Daring (Team Red, Lavados). Under their flag you can then fight for the arenas, which are placed at hotspots like churches or similar. Pokémon can appear anywhere, though.
Pocket monsters visible on the Pokémon Go Map are randomly loaded into the game’s virtual map by the game server. If several players are playing in the same location, each player can see and catch the Pokémon independently of the others.
Pokémon Go Updates, News, Raids and More
The developers at Niantic regularly provide Pokémon Go with new updates or special raids that should only be tackled in a group of several people. The Pokémon Go Raids are therefore very popular, as they also offer the prospect of particularly rare Pokémon. For example, in the past, legendary Pokémon could always be caught on special occasions (Pokémon Go events). For particularly eager mobile or smartphone Pokémon trainers, there is also an external IV calculator, such as the online tool from Pokemon.gameinfo.io or on Pokefans.net, to check the values of your Pokémon.
