How many times have you been stuck in class or at your desk wondering whether a Charizard or even a Mewtwo (can you imagine?!) is right by you? Well, Adafruit’s the Ruiz Brothers have released a 3D printing tutorial that is sure to get Pokémon Go users as excited as ever. In it, the innovative makers explain how one can easily build a Raspberry Pi based “reverse lure model” which notifies players what types of Pokémon might be in their vicinity, whether they are common, rare, or even legendary. If this sounds like just the device you’ve been looking for, we have to advise that you proceed with caution, as the device is against Niantic’s (the game developer) terms of service.
Nevertheless, the device and its 3D printed case are undeniably awesome, so we just have to tell you how its done. Basically, the Pokémon Go finder device is made up of a Raspberry Pi Zero, a 3D printed case, and three LED lights, which are programmed to light up when a Pokémon of a certain type is around you. For instance, when a common Pokémon is around the first light will turn on, for rare Pokémon the second light will turn on, and for legendary Pokémon the third light will turn on.
