Snapshots are one of the options that Pokémon GO integrates in 2019, being a spectacular idea to immortalize moments with your favorite Pokémon. But, this time, we bring you a section of our complete guide to tell you all about surprise encounters in snapshots.
How do snapshots work?
As you may already know, Pokémon GO snapshots allow us to capture moments with our favorite Pokémon; but to be able to use this option it is necessary reach Trainer level 5.
On the other hand, there are two types of snapshots, which will depend on the device you use. In the case of the Augmented Reality (AR) modality, allows us to take photos with our Pokémon wherever we are. As well you can touch the Pokémon to make it do an aggressive gesture or wait for him to make a relaxation gesture.
While the mode of Augmented Reality + (AR+) It has improvements in terms of photo quality, since allows Pokémon to interact more realistically. But it is only available for Android 7.0 or higher and Apple mobiles (such as iPhone 6s and later models with iOS 11 or higher).
Tips for having surprise encounters in snapshots
Another relevant thing about snapshots in Pokémon GO is that they allow us to have surprise encounters with other Pokémon, but this happens sporadically. You can have surprise encounters with both the AR mode and the AR+ mode.
There are some tricks to achieve more surprise encounters, among them the main thing is take multiple photos. Remember that the surprise encounters only appear after the first photo and this will be noticeable because in the lower right corner of the screen it will blink 3 consecutive times.
If you get a surprise encounter, immediately return to the map, because the game will show you the last photo and the Pokémon that has interfered. In this way, you will observe the Pokémon close to your position and you must click on it to capture it.
