Which yields more pokemon - two active lures at once, or two lures used consecutively on one stop?

I've been curious about how to optimize my lure usage to get the most bang for my buck - or to ensure I'm not squandering the limited time you get with them, as I don't have availability to play all the time. From these questions it's clear that using two lures on two pokestops in range will increase the overall spawn rate. My question is this - is it more efficient to use two lures at once, or keep placing lures consecutively on a single stop?

That is, which technique will yield more pokemon appearances per lure spent, if any difference at all? If I see a lure active on a group of pokestops, should I place another lure next to it or save it for when the first lure runs out?

Best Answer

You will likely get more effect from using lures consecutively, for two reasons:

1) Lures attract pokemon, but they also attract trainers. There is a good chance that another trainer will be drawn to the lure model, and will decide to use their own lure module on the 2nd pokestop.

2) There will be a slight decrease in pokemon caught as the number of consecutive lure models active increases, due to the time taken to catch the pokemon. Particularly if you are bad at throwing, or the pokemon are high CP.

Do multiple lures stack Pokemon go?

Yep. Multiple PokeStops with Lures can be close enough to create an area of multi-Lure power.

How do you get more Pokemon from lures?

The Pokestop is functional during a Lure and you can collect from them at regular intervals. Lures cause Pokemon to spawn about once five minutes on average. A popular tactic is to use a Lure, an Incense, and a Lucky Egg all at once. This spawns tons of Pokemon and you get double the XP for catching them!

Are Lure Modules effective?

Lure Modules give you more Pok\xe9mon than Incense Unless you move at the speed of 12 KM/Hr while an Incense item is active, the item will only cause one Pok\xe9mon to spawn in your immediate vicinity every 5 minutes, totaling up to 5-6 Pok\xe9mon from the use of one Incense item.

Do lures increase max spawns?

However, Lures do more than just increase the spawns. Firstly, in addition to increasing the spawns, they increase the chances that Pok\xe9mon with lower chances appear such as those 1% Pok\xe9mon like Nidoqueen and Clefable, and even increase the chance that Rare Spawns will appear.
