12 Things Pokemon Go Doesn’t Bother To Tell Its Players

POKESTOPS

Pokestops are special points of interest marked on your map- they can correspond to stores, places of worship, fountains, statues, or just about anything in the real world. Pokestops give you free Pokeballs, Revives, Potions, and even Pokemon eggs when you approach them and ‘activate them’ (which is done by touching the Pokestop on your phone, and then spinning the giant circular picture that pops up)- and they also refresh every five minutes, so if you’re going to be hanging out in some place for a while, you can farm the same Pokestop repeatedly.
