The new adventure smoke makes Pokémon GO hearts beat faster. Here you can learn how to use the new smoke most effectively – for legendary Pokémon.

San Francisco – Pokémon GO is still a worldwide hit. As before, nearly 80 million players a month are said to be hunting for the little pocket monsters all over the globe. A new adventure smoke is now designed to make this even more exciting. We’ll show you how to best use the smoke. First things first: a lot of movement is required – Pokémon GO developer Niantic wants to lure players back outside.

Pokémon GO: Use adventure smoke effectively – these tricks will help you get the most out of it

How to make the best use of smoke:

Pokémon GO developer Niantic apparently wants to lure their players back out into the fresh air. The new adventure smoke in Pokémon GO means that you can run into rare pocket monsters that don’t appear so often in the wild otherwise. Reddit user Jarve now posted how the new smoke can be used most effectively. He, too, confirms that Pokémon spawns are likely to fail without a lot of movement. The best method? Just run straight for 15 minutes – for a chance at the legendary birds Zapdos, Arktos and Lavados.

Here’s how it works:

The problem with the new adventure smoke: the game seems to require more movement on your part for new Pokémon to appear. Simply walking around your own house is no longer sufficient for this. If you put enough distance between you and the last spawn point, a new Pokémon will appear after 30 seconds. You can see that this is a Pokémon spawn through the smoke by the blue circle around the little monster. In Pokémon GO, there are also spotlight hours in August – we have an overview for you here.

Pokémon GO adventure smoke: Reddit users confirm theory – this is how you get the smoke

Reddit users say:

Redditor Jarve wasn’t the only one who noticed the peculiarity of the new smoke. “I can confirm it. I was walking down my street and had a spawn every 30 seconds” writes Jachael123. The user gingerale_chinchilla additionally states that you’d better not go back during the 15 minutes the smoke lasts – then new spawns would fail to appear. So it’s best to stick to the already proven tactic: walk in one direction for 15 minutes. Whether in a straight line or in a large circle shouldn’t matter at all.

This is the adventure smoke:

If you’ve never heard of the Adventure Smoke, there’s no need to panic. The new smoke wasn’t implemented into Pokémon GO by Niantic until July 27, 2022. This will be found in your inventory once a day – it is not (!!!) stackable, so use it up as often as you can. If you can’t find the adventure smoke in your inventory yet, you’ll have to be patient for a few more days. The new item will be unlocked gradually for all players. It will even give you a chance to spawn the legendary birds Zapdos, Arktos and Lavados.
