How to use a PC to play Pokémon Go

There are several reasons why you may not be able to search the streets for Pokémon, but thankfully, we have a fix for that issue. We've compiled a list of essential tasks and solutions for PC users of Pokémon Go.

Just a little heads up: Pokémon Go may ban your account if you use any of the aforementioned techniques, so proceed with caution. Moving about a lot, having a backup account where you play on the PC particularly, and sometimes switching between playing on your phone and PC are thus advised.

Indulge in our Pokémon Go PC tutorial now.

On a PC, how can I play Pokémon Go?

First and foremost, a PC or laptop, if you'd like, is clearly required. Once you've completed that significant task, you may play Pokémon Go on a large screen using a few different methods.

Option 1:

Android emulator

The most often used method of playing is via an Android emulator, like BlueStacks. This Mac and PC application replicates the Android mobile interface on your screen, making you seem as if you are using your phone.

But there are two key aspects to note here. First off, download an earlier version of BlueStacks instead of the most recent version directly from the website. You could have problems using the most recent version of Pokémon Go with BlueStacks.

Option 2 is to mirror

Using a mirroring program, which does exactly what it claims it does—mirroring the screen of your phone onto your computer—is your second choice. As a result, you may enjoy your smartphone on a somewhat bigger screen. Additionally, if you want to save any of those Pokémon fights for later, you may record the screen and preserve your gameplay.

On devices that support AirPlay, iOS users can mirror content, while Android users can do the same via Chromecast.

These are the guidelines:

  • Android screen mirroring
  • iOS screen mirroring
