Know How... 227

We go over the basics of Pokemon Go, which extended battery is best for you, and building a germination cube. Pokemon Go The Basics Padre's Special Sauce Since this is basically Ingress with a different skin many of the same recomendations that we had for Ingress will work for Pokemon Go. 1.

So we're creating a "germination cube" that will block direct light while holding an inexpensive transparent container. Parts List 1. STL Files 2.
