After they\u2019ve been walked a specific number of steps, they then need to be leveled up via either battles or items while still out of their Pok\u00e9 Ball. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Twitter user @soItawashi has reported an easy method for completing these requirements. As of this writing, the tweet from @soItawashi has around 100,000 likes and roughly 25,000 retweets.

They explain that the step requirement is based on steps made by the Pok\u00e9mon itself and is not related to steps by the player. By jumping on the roof of a Pok\u00e9mon Center, trainers can make their Pok\u00e9mon continuously walk without having to move themselves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Pok\u00e9mon you\u2019re walking with that gets left behind will run around in a circle on the ground below while trying to get back to your side. If you leave the Pok\u00e9mon in this state for a while, it will get the required steps it needs so all that\u2019s left is leveling it up for it to evolve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We were able to confirm this behavior when trying it for ourselves. However, depending on your position, there are also cases where the Pok\u00e9mon will stop. If you find just the right spot, the Pok\u00e9mon will continuously run in a circle for the most part. We were able to make a Pok\u00e9mon walk for around 7 or 8 minutes, while making minor tweaks to positioning, and evolve it after leveling it up with no issues.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/20221126-228218-001.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16931\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/20221126-228218-001.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/20221126-228218-001-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/20221126-228218-001-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/20221126-228218-001-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/20221126-228218-001-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/20221126-228218-001-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/20221126-228218-001-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/20221126-228218-001-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/20221126-228218-001-747x420.jpg 747w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>When the Pok\u00e9mon being walked is moved from the front of the party, the steps are reset. For that reason, the Pok\u00e9mon has to reach the required steps while fixed at the front of the party. Pok\u00e9mon will also automatically return to their Pok\u00e9 Balls if they get too far away from their trainers. In order to not have to keep bringing out your Pok\u00e9mon, you must wait for it to catch up to you while running around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>@soItawashi\u2019s discovery makes things more convenient by removing the work of walking around. However, some players who saw the video felt sorry for the poor Pok\u00e9mon running in circles. Maybe they have sympathy for the Pok\u00e9mon stuck in this running cycle, while looking like it\u2019s in a panic searching for its missing trainer.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/20221126-228218-002.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16930\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/20221126-228218-002.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/20221126-228218-002-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/20221126-228218-002-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/20221126-228218-002-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/20221126-228218-002-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/20221126-228218-002-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/20221126-228218-002-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/20221126-228218-002-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/20221126-228218-002-747x420.jpg 747w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>The walking conditions for evolution are a simple step counter as far as the game is concerned, but it\u2019s likely meant to represent a trainer and their Pok\u00e9mon building a bond by spending time together that leads to it evolving. While the method is convenient, it seems like some trainers would be reluctant to put their beloved Pok\u00e9mon through it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, if you\u2019re looking to quickly fill up the Pok\u00e9dex, it\u2019s an effective technique. A number of players have been seen talking about how it\u2019s a pain to reach the step requirements, and some have praised @soItawashi\u2019s method as revolutionary. Now you don\u2019t have to resort to wrapping a rubber band around your analog sticks to walk. If you find walking your Pok\u00e9mon to evolve them to be a pain, give it a try.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"qme\" dir=\"ltr\">\ud83e\udd21 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Z7Xm06enVV\">pic.twitter.com\/Z7Xm06enVV<\/a><\/p>&mdash; j\u00e1 fui (mais) inconsequente (@vrautavio) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/vrautavio\/status\/1596237133790027778?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 25, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><br><br><br><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:12px\"><em>Written by.
