"Pokémon GO" should be advertised as an exercise app instead of an augmented reality game for mobile users. Since its release on July 6, the game has tricked several players into getting out of their houses to hunt Pokémon in strange new places.
The Niantic game even puts a spin on hatching eggs. Instead of letting the player simply incubate their eggs in the comfort of the couch, "Pokémon GO" requires the user to wander around aimlessly to the eggs will hatch. However, there are a few lazy people who are standing up against the insanity.
Hatching Eggs For "Pokémon GO" Can Now Be Done Without Walking A Step
First things first: hatching eggs requires a "Pokémon GO" player to walk a few kilometers for proper incubation. However, the game does not require the player to walk in a straight line. The GPS simply tracks how many kilometers the phone has travelled.
No time to walk around the house for hatching eggs? Rusty Cage suggests placing the phone on a rotating surface like a record player, a bicycle wheel or a Roomba. However, a Roomba might be the best option so "Pokémon GO" players can sweep the floor AND hatch some eggs.
But what if a "Pokémon GO" does not own a record player, a bicycle OR a Roomba? Then perhaps it's time to get Spot to help in hatching eggs.

Dogs Will Gladly Help "Pokémon GO" Players In Hatching Eggs
No, it doesn't mean that the "Pokémon GO" player has to walk the dog. These are lazy hacks, no walking required. The trick is to attach the phone to the dog's collar and letting the pooch run around the house. The eggs will be hatched in no time and the dog will be extremely satisfied with being a "good boy."
In stark contrast, it is not advisable to attach the phone to a cat when trying to hatch "Pokémon GO" eggs.
