In Pokémon GO, the Hour of Wonder Bonuses starts again this evening, March 26th. This time there is a bonus that is perfect for home.
What kind of bonus is there? During this hour, Niantic will give you double experience points when evolving Pokémon. If you use a Lucky Egg, you will even get quadruple XP.
You can therefore easily take the bonus from home, and you don’t have to go outside.
Double XP for Home – Is it Worth It?
When does the hour start? As usual, the event runs at 6 PM local time and remains active for exactly one hour. So everything will be over by 7 PM.
This is behind such bonuses: Just last week, Niantic had a similar bonus for home. There were double candies when sending Pokémon.
The reason for this is likely the Corona crisis. After all, in many countries, there are curfews, and in Germany, you should only leave the house under certain conditions. Niantic is therefore adapting its bonuses so that you don’t have to go outside.
Are double XP worth it? The fastest way to gain experience points is still through friendships. However, if you are making slow progress there, because you can’t send gifts, then the XP from evolving comes just right.
After all, you can make about 140,000 XP in half an hour. In one hour, that’s even 280,000 experience points. That’s roughly equivalent to 3 Hyper Friends.
So if you have nothing to do during the event hour, you can quite easily evolve a few Pokémon for an hour. Remember your Lucky Egg and you can score big.
Collecting XP can also be one of the things that will motivate you even after level 40.
