What is an XXL Pokémon?

An XXL Pokémon in Pokémon GO is an individual Pokémon that is significantly larger than average for its species, indicated by an XXL tag, and is primarily used for PokéStop Showcases to win items, though it offers no battle advantage except for potential higher HP in some cases (like Gourgeist) and contributes to size-based medals. These rare, extra-large catches can also be XXS (extra small), adding fun visual variations and tracking for players aiming for Platinum size medals, with evolution counting towards these medal tiers.

Yes, you can trick Pokémon Go into thinking you're walking using methods like GPS spoofing apps (iAnyGo, AnyTo) with virtual joysticks or by shaking your phone in a sock, which plays on GPS/Adventure Sync inaccuracies, but these can violate terms of service; official methods focus on using Adventure Sync for real steps, while non-walking tricks use location manipulation or device shaking for buddy candy and egg hatching.

Does the sock trick work in Pokemon Go?

Yes, the "sock method" (or pendulum trick) for hatching eggs in Pokémon Go generally still works by simulating movement, leveraging the game's Adventure Sync to track phone motion (not just steps) and add distance, though its effectiveness relies on good phone setup and movement, often involving putting the phone in a long sock and swinging it or attaching it to a rotating object, but always ensure Adventure Sync and health permissions are on.

Does driving count as walking in Pokemon go?

Pokemon Go doesn't count normal driving as walking because it has a speed limit for tracking distance (around 10.5-13 km/h or 6-8 mph), but it can count very slow driving (like in heavy traffic or just moving slowly) or be tricked by GPS spoofing apps, though this isn't recommended. The game uses Adventure Sync to track distance when the app is closed, but it's designed to differentiate between walking and fast travel, often showing your avatar running or biking to indicate no distance earned.
