As we all adjust our lifestyles to help contribute to the safety of the new spread of the new coronavirus, Pokémon GO Developer Niantic has released another set of new updates to help players stay home.
Perhaps most notably, the 30 per cent fragrance already purchased by one PokéCoin site has been covered by a new layer, and Niantic has confirmed that these special, cheap donations will be distributed going forward. Here are all the changes:
- 3 × Stardust and XP on your first Pokémon catch of the dayMake sure you make Star Piece and Lucky Egg to maximize your rewards.
- Changes in GiftsThe number of Gifts that you can open daily will now increase to 30, and the number of Gifts you can carry to your building will increase to 20. Gifts will contain many Poké Balls. Thank you for your patience as we continue to prioritize updates that make gameplay available and exciting at this time.
- Round 1 PokéCoin bundles in store! Many new PokéCoin bundles will be available in store each week as a one-time purchase. The content of these bundles changes weekly, so be sure to find out what's available each week. Currently, a new bundle of 1 PokéCoin is available for you containing the following.
- Poké × 100 Balls
You can enter the above bundle (along with a 30-item bundle of 1 PokéCoin purchase already) from now on Monday, March 30, 2020, at 1:01 p.m. PDT (GMT −7).
The Incense and Poké Ball bundles will be removed at that time, and there will be a new 1 PokéCoin bundle.
And with this, Niantic also confirmed that Lugia Raid Week and Raid Hour events have been canceled. At present, there seems to be no plan in place to postpone it at a later date.
For everyone's sake, please make sure you take full advantage of these updates to stay safe indoors, and not be like an Italian man charged with playing this game publicly.
