Pokemon GO Guide: How To Use The New Sightings Tool


The latest Pokemon GO patch replaced the Nearby tracking tool with a new tool called Sightings. Here is how to use it to attempt to find the Pokemon near you.

The new tool replaces the old one, two, or three prints with grass behind Pokemon that are nearby. Unfortunately, there still isn’t a way to track Pokemon the way that players could during the game’s first two weeks. That said, this patch is still an improvement over the three step bug or the changes that replaced them.

There are two major changes that arrive with this update. The first is that the Nearby/Sightings list now accurately represents the Pokemon that are near the player. Sightings apparently are limited to 200 meters (or 700 feet). For the last few weeks, the Nearby tool was completely unreliable and there was no way to know if the Pokemon were actually there or not. It is now safe to trust the tool. The map refreshes roughly every 10 seconds and Pokemon that have despawned will be removed from the list.
