Trainers can play Pokemon Go while Shopping in the nearest branded store outlet. Do aware your surrounding while wander and catch Pokemons.
The Dayak Shield festive decoration supposed to be in front of this escalator in 2014, but currently there is non on display.
This PokéStop have a close Overlap with the nearby “The Spring Water Feature” and “Dayak Totem” PokéStop. Hence this is one of the most favorable PokéStop for Lure activation and farming. Pokemon Go Trainers can take a short walk along the East, Center, and West Court of the Spring Mall to access most of the PokéStop within the Mall. At times Pokemon Go Trainers Lure activate all the PokéStop nearby and create massive spawns frenzy.
The Spawn Frenzy at the Spring Mall after all the PokeStop within the Mall is Lure activated. Like it or hate it when 5 Ratatas simultaneously spawned.
Random spawns from the spawn frenzy. The PokeStop can have overlaps with “The Spring Water Feature” PokeStop.
With all the benefit that one might find, there is still inaccuracy of GPS signal for some devices due to interference from the building itself. Occasionally Pokemon Go Trainers may have difficulty access this PokéStop even at the correct spot.
