You can now catch Eevee and other Pokemon, battle gyms, and join raids from the comfort of your computer. Just be careful not to move too fast or change your location too often, as that might trigger Niantic’s anti-cheat system and get you banned. Also, make sure to respect other players and follow the game’s rules and guidelines.

What emulators can play Pokémon GO?

Since none of the Android emulators are capable of running the official version of the Pokemon Go app, PGSharp usage with emulators has recently gained a lot of attention. But many people have experienced problems with PGSharp not working with their preferred emulator. Others have even responded with the claim that PGSharp isn’t even designed to run on emulators, which is apparently a common claim on their Discord server. Other than MuMu Player, BlueStacks used to be able to run PGSharp.
