The global rewards of the Pokémon GO Festival are active for a few days longer than planned. Take advantage of the extra time for lots of XP, Stardust, and Candy.
Actually, the global rewards were supposed to end on the night from Monday to Tuesday. However, Niantic announced that these bonuses are now active for even longer than originally planned. Perhaps this is meant to console over the poor experiences at the GO Festival.
You now have more than two additional days to take advantage of the cool bonuses like double XP and reduced egg distances.
Global Rewards – Ending on Friday
The original end of the global rewards was on the night from Monday (July 24) to Tuesday (July 25). However, Niantic has now decided to extend the event.
Now you can take advantage of the various bonuses for 72 hours longer. The new official end is now Friday, July 28, at 2:00 AM German time (July 27, 5 PM PDT). Until then, there are the following in-game bonuses for you:
- Reduced Distance for Eggs 2KM, 5KM, and 10KM
- Increased Spawn of wild Pokémon
- Double Stardust
- Double Candy
- Double Experience Points
- Reduced Distance for Buddy Pokémon
Rewards Unlocked at the GO Festival
Last Saturday, July 22, the Pokémon GO Festival took place in Chicago. While the event did not go according to the expectations of trainers and organizers, players managed to unlock global rewards.
Trainers here in Germany are also pleased that they can quickly level up their Pokémon GO accounts with double experience points and improve their Pokémon with the extra Stardust.
It was planned for these rewards to be active for up to 48 hours. The duration depended on how many Pokémon were caught during different time windows of the GO Festival worldwide. Trainers around the world did their best to catch many Pokémon and keep the bonuses active for a long time. Successfully, they reached the originally highest duration of 48 hours. Now the event has been extended by another three days.
Could Niantic perhaps be apologizing again for the GO Festival? The development team was “dismayed” by the GO Festival
