‘Pokemon Go’ Trick Update: How to Create Your Own Nest by Using a Free Tool

Mar 09, 2017 10:27 AM EST

In "Pokémon Go," Nests are strange circumstances as nobody fully comprehends how they work and behave. As for Niantic's phenomenal mobile game, there's a nest rotation every 14 days which certain species of Pokémon don't spawn where the nest is commonly isolated.

Being a Niantic player, anyone can create their own nest. "Pokémon Go" features and uses a tool known as Open Street Map (OSM) to figure out where the Pokémon spawns, by jumping online and modify your local area in OSM; a player will be able to change the way Pokémon spawns and creating your own nest.

"Pokémon Go" and OSM are linked with each other; it's not new to the mobile game, in fact, it was widely accepted in places like The Silph Road. According to Reddit, there's a new theory into how nests operate with its patterns and it was said that anyone can create their own nest by adjusting the OSM.

Before we go further, a little reminder; do not abuse this trick. Open Street Map (OSM) is used solely for "Pokémon Go," and it's a great unfair to others to sabotage your local map just to create few nests with hassle-free. Just create your own nest at a real park; just to savor your effort in playing the mobile game.

For creating your own nest, it has two criteria that need to meet before an area is capable of becoming a Pokémon nest in "Pokémon Go." First, the area must be marked as a Park on OSM. Second, it must be given a valid name. By opening the OSM, you can easily mark the locations capable of being created as a next unless you live in a very populated area with OSM observers, as noted by Pokemon Go Informer.

Next, have an access to OSM by creating a free account. You have to find your local area, make sure that all your local parks must appear on the map where they are named validly. Then it will take a minute or more to scan even until at least the next nest rotation; in creating your own nest it all sums upon how often the date from OSM is used to update and create maps in "Pokémon Go." There you have it; you have just created your own Pokémon Nest.

To sum it all, you must log on and then make local parks which are properly named and mapped and then log back out. Simple as it is. Just remember! As what I have said earlier; don't abuse this trick, unfair for those players who play the game truthfully in "Pokémon Go."
