Right now we have a bunch of bonuses active in game because it's become harder for people to play lately with the whole virus thing going on. So to make gameplay more accessible and enjoyable Niantic has given us several bonuses. They are now giving more bonuses and a new 1 PokéCoin bundle. We will get a rotating bundle next week.
Current bonuses:
- Incense (and Meltan box) stay active for 1 hour instead of 30 minutes.
- 1/2 hatch distance
- Increased Pokémon spawn in the wild
- Gifts dropping more frequently from PokéStops.
- 30 Incense bundle for 1 PokéCoin in the shop, available as a one-time purchase.
These bonuses are increasing now and we will be getting the following extra bonuses:
- 3x Stardust and XP for the first Pokémon catch of the day
- Daily limit of opening Gifts increases to 30 from 20.
- Gifts we can carry in inventory increases to 20 from 10.
- 100 Poké Ball bundle for 1 PokéCoin in the shop, available as a one-time purchase.
These bonuses will stay in effect until this whole thing is over.
The one-time purchase bundles for 30 Incense and 100 Poké Balls is going to be available until March 30th at 1 pm PDT. So make sure that you buy these bundles before then if you want to have them!! At that time when those two bundles are removed from the store, we will get a new 1 PokéCoin bundle, the contents of it will be announced later. That bundle will stay available in the shop for the duration of a week and then change to a different one the week after. So make sure to check the shop every week after March 30th to see what the new 1 PokéCoin bundle contains!
I hope these changes help you all to still be able to play a little bit at least, especially if you aren't able to go outside much now. Are you guys still able to play a bit?
