Step
Method 1 of 3: Pokémon GO
Step 1. Visit the App Store
Pokémon GO is available for Android and iPhone. On the Home screen on your phone, swipe right on the screen and then type "App Store" (or "Play Store", if you're using Android) in the search box that appears. Open the App Store by tapping the App Store icon.
Step 2. Look for the Pokémon GO app
Tap the button Search at the bottom of the screen then type "Pokemon GO" in the search box. Tap the button Search to see the list of results that appear.
Step 3. Download the Pokemon GO app
Look for the Pokemon GO app in the list of results you get. Tap the button GET in the top right corner of the search results bar. You may be asked to enter your Apple ID password. Once you do that, the app will start downloading.
Step 4. Run Pokemon GO
Tap the Home screen button and then tap your new Pokémon GO icon.

Step 5. Allow Pokémon GO to access your location

Step 7. Sign up for a Pokémon GO account
This can be done in two ways:
- Sign up with Gmail. If you have a Gmail account, choose the option to link your account to the game so you can share data between the two accounts. At this point, signing up with Gmail looks more stable than using Pokemon Trainer Club.
- Sign up for the Pokemon Trainer Club. This is a feature on Pokémon.com that aims to create a community of dedicated Pokémon players who are willing to communicate, battle, and exchange Pokémon with other players. This is a good option if you are interested in joining the community.
Step 8. Design an avatar for your trainer
Once you accept the terms and conditions, as well as an introduction from Professor Willow, two avatar images will appear.

- Tap the checkmark in the lower-right corner of the screen when you're done designing your avatar. You are ready to venture out!
Method 2 of 3: Without Jailbreak
