Pokémon GO is an amazing game, filled with thousand of catches, PokéStop spins, and gym/raid battles. There are two accessories on the market that offer the ability to catch more, spin more, and log travel distance better; The Pokémon GO Plus, and the Go-Tcha.
These devices allow you to catch Pokémon and spin PokéStops with the press of a button, instead of having to open up your game to interact with it. This allows eyes free gameplay, and can be very useful in picking up Pokémon and items as you drive, go on dates, or when you are otherwise occupied, regardless of the situation. Play without playing, essentially.
This quick blog post will compare the two devices, so hopefully you can decide which is best for you.
Pokemon GO Plus
Pros:
Official Nintendo Licensed Product
Catches Pokémon or spins PokéStops at the press of button
Extra batteries can be carried with you when it dies, but…
Cons:
Uses a battery; can be costly if replacements aren’t ordered online.
Requires a screwdriver to replace the battery
Requires a button press to interact with
Plastic could break if not treated with respect (mine was great, but I broke the plastic piece that holds the strap in when I tried to remove it from my wrist improperly)
Go-Tcha
Pros:
Allows Auto-catch/Auto-spin (no button presses needed) Allows for truly eyes/attention free gameplay.
Rechargeable battery
Many wrist band options
Cons:
Unofficial, Unlicensed, third party product
Might be against terms of service; grey area.
Rechargeable battery requires special adapter to charge that is easy to lose
More expensive than the GO Plus
Both devices can suffer from connectivity issues, so that doesn’t seem to be a determining factor.
Most of my group loves their Go-Tcha’s, but if you’re concerned about your account getting banned for using third-party hardware, stick with the GO Plus. Both are amazing and will help up your game! You can, of course, do fine without either of these devices, they just free up your eyes and your time, and can help you increase the amount of Pokémon you catch and PokéStops you spin. These are devices that I believe every Pokémon GO trainer should have.
