Available on both iOS and Android devices, the game utilizes GPS technology to allow players to locate, capture, train, and battle virtual creatures known as Pokémon, which are displayed as if they exist in the player's actual location. The game is free-to-play and utilizes a freemium business model, incorporating local advertising and in-app purchases for additional in-game items. Initially launching with approximately 150 species of Pokémon, the game's roster had expanded to around 700 by 2021.

Gameplay of Pokemon Go 

After players establish a game account, they can create and personalize their own avatars, which are then displayed on a map that corresponds to the player's physical location. The map features various locations such as 'PokéStops' and 'Pokémon Gyms'. 'Lure Modules' can be attached to PokéStops, which attract more wild and sometimes rare Pokémon. Gyms are used for team-based battles and are usually located at places of interest, often repurposed portals from Niantic's previous game, Ingress. This has led to some PokéStops and Gyms being situated in inconvenient or hazardous locations, like the now-removed Gym at the Korean Demilitarized Zone and the abandoned Bagram Airforce Base, which was vacated by U.S. forces in July 2021. Since 2019, players have also been able to submit new locations for inclusion in the game, which are largely evaluated by other players.
