'Pokémon GO' hacks: Catch 'em and hatch 'em all fast with these clever tricks

"Pokemon GO" can be considered the hottest mobile game right now, and like any other game, players would like to have a cheat or two. Here are a few of them.

Use apps, maps and trackers

"Pokemon GO" is a map-based game, thus players will be able to find characters with map-based tracking tools, and there are many out there. However, Niantic, the game developer, is not too happy about some tools and the company is shutting them down. Pokévision, Smart Poke and Skiplagged are some of them.

There are still a few that gamers can use, and PokéRadar is one of them.

A Pokémon iPhone accessory

Throwing Pokéballs is not always easy. Some characters need to be hit dead-center before being captured, thus requiring more attempts, which then equates to more Pokéballs. However, a genius crafted a finger guide to help him or her catch more monsters and it worked. It is called the Pokéball aimer. Smartphones with similar shape and size to the iPhone 6S can use the accessory.

The turntable trick for the eggs

Another way of hatching the eggs that has been collected is using an old turntable that has been gathering dust in the basement.

Players need to launch the game, secure the smartphone and turn on the turntable to the maximum setting.

A video demonstration was provided by Tech Insider.

To hatch the eggs faster, use a ceiling fan

Several fans were able to discover that a ceiling fan can trick the game that the player is moving or walking around, thus adding to the mileage that is needed to hatch an egg. Many examples can be seen on Twitter. One user put the smartphone in a plastic bag and secured the bag to one of the blades of their ceiling fan.

Players are advised not to stand up all of a sudden.
