If it does run away, you can try tapping on the tall grass nearby to hopefully make the Pok\u00e9mon reappear. If you manage to get close enough you&#8217;ll receive an Expert Handler bonus which will award more XP and Stardust than usual.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"picture strip\">\n<div class=\"img\"><a href=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/news\/2017\/12\/pokemon_go_receives_new_iphone_exclusive_features1\/attachment\/1\/original.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/news\/2017\/12\/pokemon_go_receives_new_iphone_exclusive_features1\/attachment\/1\/900x.jpg\" alt=\"GO AR+\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p>If you are one of the lucky ones capable of trying this new feature, will you be braving the cold to take some close-up AR shots of your favourite creatures?
