Pokemon GO has arrived on Apple Watch, allowing users to explore and experience the world around them directly from their wrist, whether they’re searching for wild Pokémon or trying to hatch the Pokémon originally discovered in Pokémon Gold and Silver. “Apple Watch is particularly well suited to Pokémon GO as it seamlessly combines gameplay and imagination with getting exercise and exploring the real world,” explains developer Niantic on the official Pokemon GO blog. “You can easily interact with Pokémon GO on Apple Watch, using quick taps to discover nearby Pokémon and collect items from PokéStops.” Once Apple Watch users encounter a Pokémon, they can catch it from their iPhone. You can even log your play sessions through the Apple Watch app as a Workout that will count toward your personal Activity rings, while also counting distance toward hatching Pokémon Eggs. The core features of Pokémon GO on Apple Watch are as follows:
- Log each play session as a workout, with gameplay counting toward personal Activity rings
- Receive notifications about nearby Pokémon
- Count distance toward hatching Pokémon Eggs and receiving Candy with your Buddy Pokémon
- Receive notifications about PokéStops nearby and collect items from them
- Receive notifications when Eggs hatch and medals are awarded
