During the Pokémon GO Fest, trainers around the world put a lot of effort into the game. This effort is to be rewarded, and Niantic is giving you strong bonuses like double stardust and double experience points. However, these bonuses don’t last forever and will end soon.
The special event will be over in just a few hours. You should hurry if you want to take advantage of the rewards.
Event Rewards: Stardust, Buddy, Candies – Only for a Short Time!
At the GO Fest in Chicago, there was a lot of effort exerted to unlock various Pokémon rewards. This was somewhat limited because the fest was a legendary mess, but it was enough for many cool bonuses.
The entire Pokémon GO community can look forward to the following rewards, which are available in the game worldwide for a limited time:
- Double Stardust
- Double Candies
- Double Experience Points
- Increased Spawn of wild Pokémon
- Reduced Distance for 2KM, 5KM, and 10KM Eggs
- Reduced Distance for Buddy Pokémon
If you want to take advantage of these strong bonuses to easily improve your account, you should hurry. These bonuses are only available until the night from Monday to Tuesday, after which everything returns to its original state.
To be exact, the event (or the rewards of the GO Fest) ends on Tuesday morning at 02:00.
Legendary Pokémon now in the game
Additionally, the first legendary Pokémon are now appearing worldwide. These are Lugia and Articuno, which can now appear as raid bosses in arenas. Because Team Blue managed to prevail during the GO Fest and caught more Pokémon than Team Red and Yellow, Articuno is the first one in the game. But don’t worry, Zapdos and Moltres are also expected to appear “very soon” in the game.
So far, you do not need special raid passes for these birds, but can use the normal or “Premium” variants.
