How long does each O-Power bubble take to recharge

pokemon-sixth-generation

I've been using my O-Powers on my hapless roommate in the hopes of levelling them up. Sadly, this doesn't seem to have happened yet, and I've run out of bubbles to use.

I can see the little clock thingy turning in the corner, but I have no idea how long it takes to recharge, so I'm definitely using them less often than I could be.

So, to maximise my efficiency in levelling them up, how long does each bubble take to recharge?

Best Answer

15 revolutions of the little clock decal will recover roughly 1/4 of a single O-Power bubble. As each revolution takes about 3 seconds, this means that it takes about 3 minutes to recover an O-Power bubble.

Note that O-Power energy will recover even if you don't pay attention to it, so you don't have spend time constantly looking at that clock decal.

The energy also recharges faster based on the number of steps you have taken that day with the 3DS.

  • 0-1999 is x1
  • 2000-2999 is x2
  • 3000-3999 is x3
  • 4000+ is x4
