Super Long Review
I play a lot of Pokemon Go, and this tool helps for certain tasks.
***This tool is NOT good for everything, despite what you may hear.***
Short answer: This is best used for gaining stardust, filling your bag, gaining exp, common Pokemon candy, and hatching eggs.
Pros:
1) It is great to use this while at work, school, etc. and other times you would not normally be playing. You will return to the app to see your eggs are hatched and you have much more stardust and exp.
2) The gps on this is MUCH better on the app, I hatch eggs within ~1km of their actual read distance, unlike the crappy app which can take almost TWICE the distance you walk for it to record that distance walked.
3) The battery lasts about a month of very heavy use, which to me is fine.
Cons:
1) The Pokemon Go Plus is TERRIBLE for catching high level Pokemon, the algorithm per catch is the same as one non curved, non special (nice, great, excellent), regular Poke Ball. My average chance to catch Pokemon with this is ~50%. You will mist most, if not all rare and strong Pokemon with this tool.
2) The catching system is one chance only, if the catch fails the first time, the Pokemon will flee.
3) It will only use Poke Balls, not sure if this is to balance or just a technical thing, but it still is annoying.
So before you pay ~35 USD for this, just think if you actually play this game enough, and know what it is good and not good at.
The Pokemon Go Plus is for Veteran/Hardcore players who have most Pokemon and just want the grind to be easier.
It is NOT for completing the Pokedex.
It is NOT for catching 100% IV or rare Pokemon.
There is your warning and a waste of 20 minutes I could spend doing HW.
