Pokemon X Y – How Many Steps Is One Run Around Prism Tower?

pokemon-x-y

How many steps is in one complete circle around Prism Tower? In case the amount of steps change depending on where you are on the circle, I am one spot away from the Diggersby, away from the tower.

We can use a bit of math:

A Magikarp egg has the lowest number of Egg Cycles (6 cycles), therefore it needs the lowest number of steps to hatch (usually 1530 - 1784 steps).

Get a Magikarp egg, fly to the Prism Tower, start running/riding the bike around the tower and count how many times you do a complete cycle (without using Flame Body, Magma Armor nor the hatching O-Power) before it hatches.

What you are looking for will be something like this:

min_steps_around_Prism_Tower = 1530 / (number_of_rounds)
max_steps_around_Prism_Tower = 1784 / (number_of_rounds)

EDIT:

I did a brief testing with a small sample of 4 Magikarp. Here are the results I got hatching 4 Magikarp eggs:

  • 8 and 1/8 rounds
  • 7 and 1/2 rounds
  • 7 rounds
  • 7 rounds

The previous formulae give us (rounded values):

  • 188 - 220 steps
  • 204 - 238 steps
  • 219 - 255 steps
  • 219 - 255 steps

The average is a range between [207.5 - 242] steps.

Anyway, if we consider only the lowest distance (the nearest value to 1530 steps), we can assume that is covered in about 7 rounds.
Therefore, this gives us 219 steps per round.
