Recently, a few tips were shared on what a player should do with duplicate Pokemon. It was revealed that having many Pokemon of the same kind is great for evolving a particular character, especially if these duplicates are exchanged for candies.

Now, a useful tip is being shared for players who have assumed from the get-go that hatching eggs in "Pokemon Go" is elementary.

According to Game n Guide, other factors come into play during the egg-hatching process, one of which is travel speed. Apparently, based on the experience of players, distance travelled is not the only thing that factors in when hatching eggs. On the flipside, travelling speed has a bearing on the process.

It appears walking is the best option when hatching eggs on "Pokemon Go," because the developers of the game place speed caps on the process. Hatching eggs in a fast-moving transportation would not count, as the game has a way of "knowing" if a player has stopped walking. In fact, there are assumptions that the best way to hatch "Pokemon Go" eggs is to travel at speeds below 20 miles per hour.

Aside from the aforementioned tip, Science World Report talked of an "ultimate" cheat for "Pokemon Go" players, one where they wouldn't have to walk around to catch Pokemon. The Pokemon character would be able to walk around the game while a player uses a joystick to control it.

Another cheat that would require jailbreaking for iPhone users is the Pokemon tracker called Pokevision, which, according to a report by Forbes, could tell the exact locations of all Pokemon in the area, as well as how long they would be there.

It remains to be seen if the last two cheats mentioned would break through mainstream users of "Pokemon Go." For now, keep coming back for updates and more details on cheats and tips for "Pokemon Go."
