In this guide we are going to go over Routes in Pokemon Go. We will teach you how to use the Routes, what they are, how to create them and much more!
In Pokémon Go, there are many ways for players to engage with the world around them through the game. One of those mechanics in the game is called Routes.
Routes are set paths that you can create or follow for in-game rewards in Pokémon Go.
When using Routes in Pokémon Go, you can encounter bonus Pokémon spawns and something called Zygarde Cells whilewalking.
When you complete a Route, you will also get a unique Badge and other rewards that will help you throughout your time with the game.
In this guide, we will go over how to create a Route and find a Route in Pokémon Go.
We will also touch on how to complete them and other things you may need to know when using the feature.
How To Create Routes In Pokémon Go
Currently, Routes are being rolled out slowly across the world. Some regions may have the feature while others may not.
- If you're looking to upgrade your gaming experience in mobile games, we recommend using a Razer Kishi mobile game controller .
If you're one of the lucky few who can create Routes, keep reading!
Here's how to create Routes in Pokémon Go:
- Choose a Poké Stop or Gym to be your starting point.
- Hit record to begin mapping your Route.
- Fill out some info about your Route, then submit it for review.
- Once accepted, Trainers can follow your Route!
According to Reddit user EverdarkRaven on TheSilphRoad subreddit, players can only create 10 Routes monthly.
Since there is an approval process for the Routes, this doesn't mean all four submitted will be approved.
If you are waiting to see if your Route has been approved, press your avatar and go down to the Routes section; here, you can see what has been approved and hasn't.
How To Find & Complete Routes In Pokémon Go
Once a Route is created and approved by Niantic, it can be found anywhere in the game. To ensure that you are looking in the right place on the game, go to the Routes section, and then you can see if there's one near you!
Here is how to find Routes in Pokémon Go:
- Select the Nearby Pokémon menu
- Go to the Routes tab to see the closest routes, then select See Nearby Routes to expand the Route search area.
- Select the Route you want by pressing the Follow button. The blue Flag marks the start of the Route in the game.
- Follow the grey line in the game and see it fill out as you walk it
- If you see a glowing green spot, pick it up, and you will get a Zygarde Cell.
- You will get some awesome rewards When you reach the finish line (denoted by a flag). (XP, items, Poké Balls, Stardust, and Badges.)
Keep an eye out while exploring a Route—you might come across a Zygarde Cell! Zygarde Cells are the components that make up Zygarde, the Order Pokémon.
You can collect Zygarde Cells in your Zygarde Cube and use these cells to change Zygarde’s form. Encounter Zygarde in the Special Research story “From A to Zygarde”!
If you are exploring a Route for the first time, you will also earn extra XP, a buddy heart, Buddy candy, and the added benefit of incense attracting Pokémon quicker!
