How specific of a location can a Pokemon Lure be?

Hopefully I'm using the right terminology. I'd basically like to know how specific of a location I can make a Pokemon Lure. An Address will not cut it, would need to be like 5ft of my phone or something for it to be useful.

I do not currently play the game and am only interested in this to attract new customers similar to, Pokemon Go Attracted News Business to NYC Eateries but I wouldn't be in a storefront with an address.

Best Answer

Lure's cannot be placed at random locations. Lure's can only be placed on existing Pokestops*.

* Pokestops are based off of Portal locations from Niantic's game called Ingress; they are not accepting new portals.

So your best bet is to locate a pokestop that can accommodate your business.

For example, If you run a mobile eatery like a hot dog or coffee stand, just locate a nearby pokefarm (collection of pokestops) and setup your stand there and add a Lure to the pokestop as you see fit.

How close do you need to be to use a Lure Module?

Other players can use the Lure you place as well \u2014 the Pokemon show up for everyone, unlike an Incense. There are regular Lures that just attract any nearby Pokemon, and there are also Special Lures which attract certain individual Pokemon. They're tied to types, but they don't just attract any Pokemon of that type.

You can expect an additional Pok\xe9mon to spawn every three to five minutes when a Lure is active. Unlike Incense, Lure Modules cause additional spawns to exist in the world so that all players nearby can catch these additional spawns.
