A keen-eyed Pokemon Go player has discovered a simple way to ensure that the game works smoothly. While this comes with a catch, it’s something that players seem willing to go ahead with.

Pokemon Go is the most widely played Pokemon mobile game but some players seem to have a love-hate relationship with it. While Pokemon Go offers many exciting features and easy gameplay, several glitches and concerns are frequently highlighted by players.

One of the major issues is the frame rate dropping, giving players a difficult time. This gets more frustrating in situations such as Raids or PvP battles, where the game begins to lag and you end up losing the battle. This has been a constant problem since the beginning of Pokemon Go.

Now, a Pokemon Go player has come across a smart way to make the game work smoothly and prevent lags. However, players need to be aware of the effects of using this revolutionary trick.

Pokemon Go player shares how you can make the game smoother than ever

Pokemon Go player ‘_Zbitas_’ discovered a QoL (Quality of Life) update that can let you unlock higher FPS in the game and shared it on Reddit. By turning on the Native Refresh Rate toggle in Pokemon Go’s Advanced Settings, players will be able to experience smooth and lag-free gameplay.

With a power bank, players can take full advantage of this “game-changing” feature. This would mean that they no longer have to lose out on a powerful Legendary Raid Boss or an important PvP battle due to FPS dropping in the game.

One player commented: “This made the game so much better. 60fps is just a blessing.” Another player wrote: “I am forever grateful for this good sir, omg its exactly like warm butter on toast.”

That said, this feature can heat your mobile phone, so players should keep these considerations in mind before turning it on. A player mentioned “I think I’d rather have battery time than seeing a better version of the old animations over and over and over. I don’t think ever go gaga a super smooth egg-hatching animation.”

But others admitted that this “almost feels like a new game” they also highlighted that “it will drain your battery a lot faster. So make sure to keep a power bank nearby.”

While this feature has been available for almost a year, many players are learning about it now and have mixed feelings about turning it on. Overall, it seems appropriate to use this feature during PvE and PvP battles and keep it off during regular gameplay.
