A lot of aspects in [http://xinreality.com/wiki/Pokemon_Go Pokémon Go] are very cryptic, leaving it to the player to find out how some systems work. One of those is the “nearby” tracking system. If you want to maximize the finding of a specific [[Pokémon]], this system gives you a general overview of the distance and types of creatures that are in your proximity. Understanding it and using its feature to the fullest will be essential if you want to keep increasing the amount of Pokémon in your [[Pokédex]].
After you have everything set, and start walking in search of new Pokémon, you will notice a small box on the bottom right of the screen, from where your avatar is displayed. Tap that box to open the “nearby” window. There are nine Pokémon or Pokémon shapes displayed there, in a 3x3 grid formation. These are the ones that are in your local area. You may notice that some of them have a [[footprint]] below them. Others have two or three, and some don’t have any. These footprints are a representation of how distant the Pokémon are from you. The absence of footsteps under the Pokémon in the list means that they are in the range of 0 to 40 meters from you; one footstep, between 40 and 75 meters; two footsteps, between 75 and 100 meters and, finally, if there are three footsteps, this signifies that the Pokémon are in the range of 100 to 200 meters from your current location.
