Six Flags Great Adventure is literally swarming with Pokémon! With five training facilities (gyms) and over 35 different Pokéstop scattered all over the park, Six Flags Great Adventure is one of the best places within a 50 mile radius to find and train all of your Snorlaxes, Jigglypuffs, and Ponytas. To assist you in your Pokémon training efforts, we’ve compiled a list of tips to help you level up as quickly as possible during your visit to the park.

Before You Arrive

Update your app. Make sure you have the most current version of the Pokémon app (currently 1.01). The newer version is more secure, and crashes less often.

Make the Most of Your Visit

Showering petals at a Pokéstop means that someone has activated a Lure ! Head over to benefit from their generosity. Conversely, activate a Lure of your own at a Pokéstop and you'll be surprised at how many friends you make.

The last thing you want to do when you're far away from home is waste valuable Pokéball. Always until the green, yellow or red target circle is at its smallest before you throw.

Exercise Safe Training Practices

Don't go into unauthorized areas . Under no circumstances should you go into any areas that aren't clearly open to the public. Don't go backstage, don't crawl past any barriers. It's a matter of safety*.

Don't try to collect Pokémon on rides . Besides the fact that it is really dangerous, you could lose your phone and that will be the end of your training for the day. Plus, if a Team Member sees you doing it (and they will!) you will be asked to leave the park.
