Pokémon Go to remove certain bonuses implemented due to Covid-19.
As the coronavirus pandemic began spreading, Pokémon Go introduced a number of bonuses which made it easier for players to continue participating.
However, Niantic Labs has now announced that while some of the bonuses will remain, the majority of them will go as of October 1st.
The Pokémon GO team blog post revealed that the following temporary bonuses will remain to improve Pokémon GO's overall gameplay experience:
"The maximum number of Gifts you can carry in your Item Bag at a time will remain at 20.
"You will continue to receive three times the Stardust and XP for your first Pokémon catch of the day.
"Incense duration will remain at 60 minutes."
Whilst the following temporary bonuses will be modified:
"Hatch Distance will return to normal for Eggs.
"The increased effectiveness of Incense will now apply only while walking.
"Your Buddy Pokémon will now bring you Gifts only when you have nearly run out. This will happen only once per day.
"You will still have a higher chance of getting a Gift when you spin a PokéStop. However, you won't be guaranteed to get a Gift.
"Incubators will be included in more boxes in the in-game shop."
