[9 Tricks] How to Hatch Eggs in Pokémon Go without Walking?

In Pokémon Go, hatching eggs has always been a key part of the game, rewarding players with rare Pokémon and valuable items. Traditionally, you'd need to walk a certain distance—whether it's 2 km, 5 km, 7 km, or even 10 km—to hatch these eggs. But what if you're unable to walk, or simply want to hatch that 12km egg before the event ends? Fortunately, there are a few methods to hatch eggs without taking a single step. Let's see how to hatch eggs in Pokémon Go without walking in this guide.

1. How Egg Hatching Works in Pokémon GO

To hatch an Egg in Pokémon GO, you must place it in an Incubator and accumulate the required distance (2 km, 5 km, 7 km, 10 km, or 12 km). Distance is tracked using GPS movement and fitness data, with several important limitations:

• Only movement below certain speed thresholds counts
• Distance is measured over time, not instantly
• GPS drift and fitness tracking can contribute under specific conditions

Understanding these mechanics is critical before attempting any “no‑walking” method.

Way 1: Use Adventure Sync (Official Way)

Adventure Sync allows Pokémon GO to record distance using Apple Health or Google Fit. This feature tracks your steps even when the game is closed or you're not actively playing. As long as Adventure Sync is on, you can rack up kilometers while doing everyday activities (even without opening the app). This method doesn't require you to actively walk around the game, but rather, uses your daily steps passively.

Here is how to enable Adventure Sync:

Step 1. Open Pokemon Go and tap the Poké Ball icon in the center.

Step 2. Tap Settings (top right) and tap General.

Step 3. Check the box next to Adventure Sync.

Step 4. Grant permissions for Pokemon Go to access your Apple Health (iOS) or Google Fit (Android) data.

Way 2: Use a GPS Simulator (Fastest Way)

If you want to hatch 10km or 12km eggs efficiently, physical shaking will take hours. The most effective method is using a location changer to simulate a natural walking path.

TunesKit Location Changer allows you to create a virtual route between two spots. Your character will walk automatically at a speed you choose, hatching eggs while you sit on the couch.

Step 1. Connect your iPhone or Android phone to your computer and launch TunesKit Location Changer.

Step 2. Select "Two-Spot Mode" (the second icon in the top right).

Step 3. Drop a pin on the map to create a destination (e.g., a park or long straight road).

Step 4. Set the speed slider to Walking (approx 5-9 km/h). This is an crucial step to avoid account ban.

Step 5. Click "Start Moving". Your character will walk the route, and your egg distance will increase in real-time.

Way 3: Use DeFit App to Hatch Eggs in Pokémon Go

For Android users looking to hatch eggs without walking, DeFit is a handy app that can help you automate the process. Here's how to use it:

Step 1: Search for "DeFit" in the Google Play Store, download, and install the app on your phone.

Step 2: Open the app and log in using the same account that you use for Pokémon Go. This will link your DeFit account to your Pokémon Go account.

Step 3: Open Pokémon Go and toggle the "Sync fitness data" switch to active. You may need to watch an ad to add "Activity Time" (minutes) to the app.

Way 4: Get 7km Eggs Without Leaving Home (Friend Gifts)

While friends cannot "walk" for you, they are the only way to acquire eggs without physically traveling to a PokéStop. If you are playing from home, you can run out of eggs to hatch quickly. By opening Gifts from friends, you can fill your inventory with 7km Eggs (Yellow/Pink eggs) entirely from your couch.

These eggs are highly valuable because they often contain rare "Alolan" or "Galarian" forms that cannot be found in the wild. Please note that you must have an empty Egg Slot and Pokemon Storage space before opening a gift to receive an egg.

Here is how to get 7km eggs from friends:

Step 1: Tap your Avatar/Profile icon in the bottom left, then tap Friends.

Step 2: Look for friends who have sent you a Gift (indicated by a bouncing gift icon).

Step 3: Tap their name and open the Gift.

Step 4: If you have space, you have a high chance of receiving a 7km Egg.

Step 5: Place this egg in an incubator to hatch it.

Way 5: Fix Your Phone on a Drone

Another great solution to hatch eggs in Pokémon Go without walking is to use a drone. Most eggs in the game require you to walk 2, 5, or even 10 kilometers, and a drone can easily cover those distances. Here's how to do it:

Step 1: Ensure you have a functioning drone that can safely carry your phone.

Step 2: It's crucial to secure your phone on the drone to prevent it from falling during flight. A lock or sturdy mount can help ensure your device stays in place.

Step 3: Once your phone is attached, use the drone to cover the distance. You don't actually need to fly the drone far. Often, the small GPS jitters of a hovering drone are enough to register distance if Adventure Sync is on.

Way 6: Use a Bike or Skateboard

You can also place your phone on a bike or skateboard and cover the required distance to hatch eggs in Pokémon Go without walking. While you still need to go outside, this method requires much less effort compared to walking.

However, safety should always come first. Avoid getting distracted by catching Pokémon while riding—focus solely on covering the necessary distance to hatch your eggs. Ride at a moderate speed (under 10.5 km/h). If you go faster, the game will trigger the "I'm a Passenger" warning and stop counting distance.

Way 7: Use a Roomba or Vacuum

If you have a Roomba or any other robotic vacuum cleaner, you can put it to work hatching eggs in Pokémon Go! Simply place your phone on the Roomba, and let it move around your house. Since the vacuum moves slowly, it will mimic walking, tricking Pokémon Go into thinking you're on the move.

Way 8: Put Your Phone on a Model Railroad

Your model railroad can help you hatch eggs in Pokémon Go. Why? Because the slow movement of the trains mimics the pace of walking, so by placing your phone on the tracks, you can trick the game into thinking you're walking, allowing your eggs to hatch.

Way 9: Use a Turntable to Hatch Eggs

You can use a turntable to trick Pokémon Go into thinking you're walking and hatch your eggs without moving a step. The spinning motion of the turntable creates enough movement in a wide circle to fool your phone's sensors into detecting walking activity.

While this method is popular online, our tests showed it is inconsistent. It may work for small distances, but don't expect to hatch a 10km egg this way. Here is how to try it:

Step 1: Place your phone on the outermost edge of the turntable.

Step 2: Turn on the turntable and let it spin.

Step 3: Check your eggs in Pokémon Go to see if they start hatching. If not, adjust the position of your device and try again.
