1. Open the nearby Pokemon tracker
The nearby tracker is located in the bottom righthand corner of the map. Once opened, players can see up to nine Pokemon that are nearby. Players have the option of selecting the Pokemon that they want to track and seeing the progress when the menu is closed.
2. Count the paw prints
The distance between the player and the Pokemon is measured in paw prints from zero to three. Pokemon start out at three paw prints and the number gradually is lowered as players get closer. When the prints disappear, the target should pop up nearby.
2. Keep the tracker open
Some players like to close the tracker so they can focus on just the Pokemon that they are hunting, but keeping it open gives a slight edge. As players get closer to a Pokemon, it will climb to the upper lefthand spot in the 3×3 grid. If a Pokemon is moving up the list, then players are heading in the right direction.
3. Process of elimination
The best way to locate a Pokemon is through methodical triangulation. Start walking in one direction and if the paw prints increase or the Pokemon disappears from the list, immediately turn around and head the other way. Walk in the direction that lowers the paw prints until you either find the Pokemon or they start to increase again. If paw prints do start to increase, then head either left or right and repeat the process. Eventually, players will be met face to face with an encounter.
4. Squad up
This triangulation process is way faster if players aren’t working alone. The best way to track is to send one player in each direction and have the player shout out when the prints start to decrease. In situations where players walk in the wrong direction, this saves them up to three trips.
