Pokemon Go Interesting Location

Pokemon Go buddies do occasionally discover an interesting location when they’re a high enough friendship level, but what exactly are interesting locations in Pokemon Go?

What exactly do they do? Are they worth bothering to go out of your way to reach? As always, I’ll try to cover all the answers

What are Interesting Locations in Pokemon Go?

An Interesting Location in Pokemon Go is a Pokestop that your Pokemon buddy feels drawn to. These locations gain bonus rewards if you then go and interact with them, though your buddy will need to be at the Ultra Buddy level / Tier 3 Friendship before they will take interest in stops like this for you.

Spinning the Photo-disc of an Interesting Location will earn you some bonus items, as well as a Pokemon Buddy Affection Heart in the “Bonus” Category of your daily points earned.

While small, this is another relations bonus that can add up – and as Buddies take quite some time improving their friendship level, seeking out individual extra hearts like this can be a substantial bonus to how fast you can reach the maximum Friendship level.

Is there anything else?

Not really, Interesting Locations in Pokemon Go are quite simple. Although it does seem that Interesting Locations tend to be ones you haven’t visited before – so if your buddy isn’t highlighting one, you may wish to try a different area.

And check that they’re a high enough friendship level to point out locations in the first place, anyway.
