Pokémon Go Tests Explorer Gadget With Up to 70 Auto Catches a Day

Summary
Some Pokémon Go players have begun receiving the virtual Explorer Gadget, which can automatically throw Poké Balls and spin PokéStops while the app is closed.
Daily limits vary widely in the test: some players report caps as low as 10 catches and 10 spins, while others see totals as high as 70 each.
The feature mirrors functions previously tied to the Go Plus accessory, which sells for more than $50, but Niantic has not publicly acknowledged the rollout.
Dataminers had flagged the gadget months ago, and players had expected it might be paid; early reaction has been mostly positive because it adds passive rewards rather than replacing active play.
