Tablets and wifi-only devices 

  • Many tablets, including those without built-in data network connectivity, do not contain built-in GPS sensors. 
  • In areas or at events with busy or congested mobile data networks such as Pokémon GO Fest or Safari Zones, tablets may not maintain a strong enough GPS signal to play Pokémon GO.

We cannot guarantee device support: With many device models and configurations available in different regions, we cannot guarantee that every device that meets the criteria will be able to play the game.
