In pokemon go, it is possible to walk while trying to capture a pokemon. Is it better to walk or to stay still?
Does the distance walked while capturing count towards egg hatching or pokemon buddy?
If you forget to close a pokestop and walk, does that walk distance count as well?
Best Answer
Yes, walking distance will count even if you are capturing a Pokemon.
Egg progress will also be made in the following scenarios (credit to this Reddit post from theSilphRoad:
From observation, egg and buddy distance progress are calculated the same way (delta vector calculated each minute), so buddy distance should be unaffected by these actions as well, so long as you are walking less than 10.5 km/h.
