'Pokémon GO' Guide: No Pokévision? Best Alternatives To Try
Jazz RosinThe mobile game sensation "Pokémon GO" is still going strong, but some people are still struggling to catch them all.
With the state of the in-game tracker right now, it's currently unreliable, and people are now turning to various apps and web trackers to find where the critters are.
Unfortunately, the most reliable "Pokémon GO" tracker app out there, Pokévision, was given the ban hammer by Niantic Labs, as well as a lot more third-party trackers. People are now looking for alternatives for the once popular tracking app.
Here are some good alternatives for Pokévision.
One of the safest bets for Pokétracking at the moment is relying on crowdsourced tracker maps such as the popular Poké Radar, billed as "built by Pokémon GO enthusiasts for Pokémon GO enthusiasts."
Fellow Pokémon trainers can share their discoveries through the app, although since trolls can try and fool other people, it may not be 100 percent accurate. Still, it's the best alternative out there.
Apart from the web version, Poké Radar is available on Android and iOS as well, although as of this writing, the Google Play link is not working, at least for us.
PokéCrew is also another nice alternative to Pokévision. You can filter the specific Pokémon you want to get, and it will show on the map.
Another Pokévision replacement is SkipLagged. This site is originally a travel website that gives out information about money-saving flights and hotels, and now it will also help you nab that elusive Snorlax.
Pokénest is also another good tracker to use. It shows you where the "nests" are, or where Pokémon commonly spawn. It is not a real-time tracker per se, but a useful tool nonetheless. You can check it out here.
Remember that Niantic is now permanently banning people who are using third-party apps for "Pokémon GO," so it's best to tread lightly and be careful of any apps you download, especially those which spoof GPS and those who has access to Niantic's servers, like Pokévision.
