SO WE CAN ALL AGREE THAT THIS MAN NEVER DISAPPOINTEDS US WITH HIS VIDEOS....??????
,,,way to go bro super vids i also played pogo before
Agreed
@@Jomar1224 case closed ,,,,lol
The only time I ever do AR scans is when its a poffin, on my usual catching route and it doesn't slow my play down. This won't change that.
Best part of the video was “wind had me scared” 😂 so relatable
camera was shakings like crazy!
Thank you for taking the time to do this! Your videos are always so helpful
Yes u r correct ❤️
Thank you for the detailed report. For me as a rural player, the rewards are too small to make use of. The data consumption is also disproportionate to what you only get temporarily through it.
Thank you for making such a detailed breakdown. These were exactly the questions i wanted answered.
I love that you gave the answer in your thumbnail.
Thanks for another great video. I’m truly impressed with your content.
I tested this out myself already at a PokéStop like you and I got the same results. when I powered up my gym to level three I got a lot more rewards. If it’s a home gym it’s worth it or if you’re going to grind a spot for a couple days I think it’s worth it
I've seen very little extra items even from a lv3 gym. The extra berries are okay, but since I buy pokeballs I don't care about the extra one or two.
As for spawn rates, I haven't personally seen anything that leads me to believe it. Clearing the whole field and waiting didn't seem to change anything in over an hour of testing.
As daxi points out, if you have one near home it might be okay, but for most of us it's a gimmick. The extra heart is okay as well, though if you don't mind dropping a few bucks on poffins I'd go that route since it is faster to excited pokemon than any other guide.
What is your pokeball allowance? I recently started back up again, and as a rural player, it's a constant struggle to stay topped up.
200 balls per month unless there's something going on I'm really interested in, such as this past weekend. Shiny eevee hunting put me at around 600 balls used overall, and roughly 300k stardust(though I don't need it, I'm sitting on several million that I hardly touch). I could never f2p around here. There's no stops or gyms around, and it's a 20 min drive to the nearest. Several buddies are f2p but will drop for 200 balls at the start of the month. Once you have your league teams set(if you battle), and are level capped, the only reason to Eeven go out and catch is if there's a special event going on.
I'm sitting on 346 pokeballs, 376 great balls, and 256 ultra balls presently and probably won't use more than 50 the rest of the month, since there's nothing else going on I need or want. If there's a field research then sure, but otherwise it's doubtful they'll see use. We'll that is unless somehow they increase spawn rate to finish the Mew and Meltan chains. I've got both already from older event/mystery box, but I've had the meltan chain since it released. Stupid that ditto forms are almost completely eaten up by multiple holiday/event spawns this month. But then I've always hated the idea of catching one certain pokemon to advance a story, especially when it has a 3% spawn rate chance.
You know you can exchange gifts with friends in order to get pokeballs and other useful stuff?
Such a helpful video, just wish it had higher reward. The best pg content❤️
Scanning pokestops is only really good when you have a lot of other stops/gyms near, which in that case they're great overall.
So its only worth it from when its a home gym/stop? I dont think those lucky people needed any more "advantage".
Great video; thanks for taking the time to do this.
The problem is the mobile data... 30/40mb at scan omg... If u play pogo u only lost 5/10mb at hour... I think is better to play the normal game xD
Thank you for this video. Very informative!
Max respect for using your time to test this awful feature it’s crazy how much data it uses to just give extra pokeballs I will never use this feature at all
Thank you for testing that. I haven't noticed that much of a difference. Now it's confirmed haha. Would have been better to give like a XL candy chance or incubator. So there would be some benefit and chances would be low but still a chance. Cause you can spin stops constantly. And maybe for spawn, a rare spawn chance.
After thinking I wouldn't do any scans, I powered up my home gym to level 1 and will probably do it whenever I can.
Another good time will be for raids. I'll let people know they'll be getting 3 (or is it 2?) extra balls to help catch if it's a level 3 gym. I can see that being a little more attractive to people in discords much like weather boosted battles can be.
Other than that, I think it'll be a community effort to get these powered up as people might be willing to scan once for those pofins :D
I live in an area that has 3 schools and a community center. There are a ton of Pokémon Go players around me and not even once have I seen any of these gyms or stops scanned. Could have been such a cool feature if it didn't involve AR mapping.
Yeah but they want ar mapping for some reason. Maybe VR?
@@willemvandenelzen3656 they want AR so they can sell the information.
Primera vez que veo como tal como se sube, sin duda es función muerta, en ese tiempo que te tomo subirle de nivel pudiste haber girado las pokeparadas de la zona y conseguir más objetos
Something I have found - it is much more worth it to do a single scan if you get the field research task with a poffin as a reward. You can get them quite frequently from nearby stops, and makes it much more worth the time in my books. Yesterday i powered up a stop to lvl1 and got 5 poffins for very little work.
You are awesome I've been tired of searching a lot
"If you don't want to look like a creep pointing your phone at the pokestop you can just look at the ground"
The guy looking at the ground: 5:56
This video is useful for me thanks bro
nice! thanks man!
I think the community at least around here has spoken. Not a one is powered up and they are heavy use ones
You are literally doing God's work, Thank you very much 🙌
Good work bud 👍
liking the outside format more than the studio-room location
I definitely want to be pointing my camera in a playground for long amounts of time multiple times a week. Thanks Niantic, now I can go near a school.
What a great video, thanks for confirming what we all suspected - I could see this as a feature in a high traffic area on a com day, but totally worthless otherwise.
Thank you for the information.
You’re doing God’s work Dax. I live in a rural area so this helped me decide to not waste my time. There’s maybe 5 active players in my immediate area.
THANK YOU FOR THIS
yea you get more items from gyms i assume if you have a gold badge, (only tried it with my home gym so not sure about a new gym or things like that.)
Thank you for this video.
Regarding gyms, I feel it's more reasonable to get your gold badge- way more items, XP and stardust on your way to gold badge. It has to be changed redically. I might scan random stops if they can be combined with AR mapping task that gives poffin or rare pokemon.
Ninantic: yessss freeeeee laaaaaborrr
Players: point your phone at your feet and wiggle-
Pogo: Scan accepted!
I also powered one up to lvl 1 for the fun of it, and I agree with your conclusion, only worth it if you can reach it from your house.
One additional comment though: until you reach lvl 1, there doesn't seem to be a time limit (at first glance). I powered mine up in 4 days, passing by it every day, doing a scan, uploading it at home later and it never dropped lower.
So if you can't reach one from your house, the only other "use" for it is to check on your usual walk if it's a poffin scan. If yes, upload it, if no, don't bother (unless you really need those 10 balls). Eventually after X days - could be weeks - you'll reach lvl 1, and then you get a free gift from the spin for the next 48 hours.
Since it lasts for a few days, I would say if you have a stop accessible from your house or apartment and you spin the stop a lot, it definitely is worth it doing and you don't have to redo it that often.
Huge thanks for trying it out for us
Buts it's unbelievable, how much this is not worth it
Yeah..absolutely, every time I scanning I always feel like a freak:) thus I barely shake my phone in a less weird way
Daxi, heads up. When I powered up a gym. I was getting way more items than u. I work by a gym so I did some tests. The spawns were slightly increased but the gyms power up way better
Thanks for the info! Powering up gyms might be the way!
@ I have a gym with ZERO powerups now and its giving me 2 additional items each time. I do have a pokemon in the gym but power ups on gyms are pretty useful but I'm lazy lol
Thanks Dax, Niantic is... 😩
Great video, been scanning my feet for puffs since they started it lol
Great vid idea
Thank you for posting. I now see that I don't have the scan button option so I guess I can't do this feature.
Thank you for your research sir 🙏🏻
That is a lot of data if you don’t have unlimited
Love it Nice
I notice that if you record at a lower resolution quality, it will cut the data usage in half. I've tested with 2 phones and my old phone (Samsung Note 8) uploads half the data compared to my newer phone (Samsung Note 10). Something to test out next time. :D
i think 3 extra premier ball are essential to catch legendaries, i will never raid a 5* with a legendary i like if it's not powered up now that i know this!
That will be a quality dataset for niantic :D You can even scan the pokestop if you want :D
I would say it's worth doing it prior to raid hour with gyms so that you get the extra balls for catching the five star pokémon. If you can coordinate with a bunch of people to power up gyms at a park or downtown you will all get extra balls for catching the legendaries.
So I don’t know what happened but right at my house a gym could be scanned and I always got AR mapping tasks when spinning the gym. But after a week when this feature came out the scan option was gone and instead went to the stop right beside of it. And now I no longer get AR mapping tasks when I spin that gym. Anyone have any idea on why this happened? Or is happening?
No confirmation of this, but I have long suspected that Niantic will move the scannable features around as they get "enough" data on certain stops/gyms
During Com day on Saterday when it was snowing badly, I went to a Gym lvl 3 that had 2 stops and parked my car there. I added lures to both stops and stayed there for 3 hours. I think it was worth it having the lvl 3 gym since I'd get more pokeballs back with it and team bonus. I had a very stable income of pokeballs and could keep going for a long time. But yeah, I think that's the only time I think would be worth leveling it to 3 other than living on it.
If it would last a week or 2 and would downgrade by 1 level, then perhaps.
thats a lot of data, i only get 80 gigs a year
I did this the other day in my home town... only thing I notice was gyms giving more items at time.. almost felt like doing the daily spin of the day everytime
I am watching your video 13 second from upload and I realized I'm 1 viewer😂 ausome video
Thx for the info! This’ll really help me in my city (and not waste)
Its an inconvenience basically because of the very low rewards. Now if it was just 3 scans for lvl 1, 5 scans for lvl 2 and 15 scans for lvl 3 with the same rewards then it wouldnt be as bad but still somewhat of an inconvenience. They should give an extra item based upon the level like you said. Also maybe fixing it to where if you power up a stop or gym 5 times in a given day youll get 20 poké balls as an extra reward for doing so
My thoughts on ar mapping is kind of indifferent
But my friends say they don't want to be a paying employee and I kinda agree with that
Still hoping they change the feature to that power ups are permanent and per player. What I mean by that is that I could Scan a Pokestop and get 1 Point for that Pokestop and if I have ... 15 points or something, I get extra items/more spawns. Permanently. That would actually be worth it then, at least for the pokestops one interacts with on a regular basis. They could even do other stuff, like, if you get 100 points, you get an encounter with a legendary or something. (Would be great for people in rural areas who have no one for raids.)
1:51 scanning your feet.. man i wish i knew that. I just scanned a pokestop right beside an elementary school. made me look terrible..
random people watching daxi talking to a camera and aiming his phone at random things:
I have a home stop but it's like across the street physically. It's to cold to walk over there and spend what looked like maybe 30 minutes scanning my feet for another pokeball or berry, both of which I toss out endlessly. Not worth it for me at all. Side note though, my home stop is currently level ten so someone is doing this and getting some enjoyment out of this new feature in my area. Also, if you only have one pokey stop in your local town, this would be very helpful. Rural play, it be a cruel beast.
on gyms I have an at home gym and when I powered it up to only level two it was giving me like 5+ items today I'm going to power up to level three and going to make it my own team then spin it for the seven day streak and I'm going to like 90 items
If i got ar tasks and press on them the scan button wont come the same happens if i wanna power a pokestop with thatbutton
You can only power-up pokestops with the AR MAPPING field research tasks, indicated at the top of the screen
Seems underwhelming for a task that Niantic is really pushing for us to do. I will only scan for poffins. I'm surprised they don't offer more premium items for the work.
Second
Yes..I only scan the stops for poffins.
stuff like that should give a small amount of coins, something like 5 coins
Daxi used the force to keep his camera from falling
ever since they added this I have been getting way more AR mapping tasks. 6 pokestops all asked me to scan one place... I wish mapping tasks were only on the place that needs mapping.
Thanks! Will not be powering up stops too much time and not worth it
Can't do ar mapping :feelsbadman:
Can you make a video on how to snan stops on a LG phone it will help me a lot please
"If you live at your house..." 😂
What gloves do you use to keep playing but keep warm? It's below freezing in NJ and playing pogo is painful 😭
Thank you for your work! I really can't imagine what goes through Niantic's designers heads. They expect their players to to do all this massive work around the world, and for what? Why would I spend even a minute doing a side activity, benefiting only Niantic, without a proper, actual, meaningful incentive??? All this massive amounts of data and real world locations given to them for free? Us, running the danger of public backlash, for recording on public like baboons? It's like the wanted it to fail or something.. 3 days duration? Fake increased spawns. 3-5 extra items?? People at Niantic never understood the meaning of proper incentive. Dropping the ball everytime. AR mapping, should have been the most generous, most profiting activity for players, IF they wanted it to succeed in the first place. Just my 2 cents..
Niantic: Let's add another useless feature instead of a ready button in private raid lobbies.
theyre probably sharing the data with google map or some other bullshit :/ we're doing labour for free XD
My favorite thing to do is scan and show the ground or nothing. How u gonna sell that niatic
What gloves are you using with your phone? I recently got a pair that works with capacitive touch screens but it’s not really that good at all.
If you're with a group of people for community day and you all level up the handful of stops where you are playing then it might be worth it
definitely if you can get a group on this its alot faster
Yeah i think if you have a great spot/cluster and a big group it could be nice.
I scan the ground. I slowly sway left to right or pace back and fourth. It looks like I am just texting on my phone or watching a video.
I have two gyms right next to each other; one can been powered up, the other cannot. After doing a few spins of each. It seems that the powered up gym gives bonus items similar to team bonus (2-4 extra items).
I could stand there and scan 25 times or I could just walk 100 meters in either direction to spin other stops in my area for the same affect. Scanning takes WAY too long - especially if you are doing this solo. If they decreased it to like 2 scans per level, MAYBE I would take the time, but otherwise it was a complete waste of my time.
While doing this noticed if you move you camera soo fast to make the video completely blurry the MB needed to uploaded the scan is half the amount needed to upload
Gyms are way more op like you can get mega energy and the 3 extra balls when doing raids are op
Thanks
The only thing I got from doing this at a gym, was stares and questions of why am I videoing a church in the afternoon? You tell them pokemon go they will not know what you are talking about, or they will think you are lying.
I think required scans are reduced, at least I have now 15 scans to lvl 3. Overall it should be reduced. For example if you reach lvl 3 one time then next time you need only 20 scans, 15, 10 etc. At the end if there are lot of "Scanners" they will still have a lot of data and peope might actually do it correctly not scan their boots all the time.
The thing is... My phone cannot use AR feature because my phone is an older model. That mean its impossible for me to do this or research tasks
I think its stilk more time, in
15 min I can easily visit 7 to 9 new pokestops and catch all pokemons there .
I live in a flat and their is a pokestop infront of it can I scan it from above ? I don’t want to lose so much mb, from my flat I can do the scans with WiFi
Edit: never mind it isn’t a ar mapping pokestop 😢
Only got one item extra for gym at level three on top of my gold 3 so a total of 4
Out here sacrificing his time for us 🥺
Did you make sure not to have any 10th spin in your test? I think every tenth spin has more items in general.
Cant be bothered. Thats it. I just cant be bothered 🤣
I more or less agree - spin more pokestops works better. I've gotten a standard potion at a powered up gym in addition to the regular and great pokeball (spin 2x at two gyms for total of 4x) - which is about all I got from two different powered up pokestops (the balls that is).
I recall reading somewhere that this is more for players who have limited stops in their neighborhood(s) and/or what not - But I usually spend an hour walking at the park for health reasons and there's usually plenty of stops and gyms at the more moderately sized park.
I encountered a Level 3 powered up pokestop and gym... and stayed at each for 15minutes. Was not impressed and also found hilarity that I can still Scan/powered up level 3 gym (I assumed it was lazy programming so it doesn't affect current AR mapping quests - I do like the poffins quests!!!!)
I remember when first leaks were appearing of this feature. I was very hyped for it but when it actually came, it was more disappointing then Cyberpunk 2077 lunch ...
What's a verification code from poke home what should I write
I did that once and never again
now I know it can get extra heart to buddy. ok...I will power it up to lv 1
I'm gonna do this but only cause I live on top of a pokestop
