Niantic, developer of Pokémon GO, now gives you an important tip for the GO Fest 2020. You should open your gifts only at a specific time.
Here’s the deal: On Twitter, Niantic shared a little tip about the GO Fest. There is also a small preview of another bonus that has not yet been known.
You should open your gifts only at a specific time so that you can participate in a challenge. If you do it before, you can no longer participate.
Gifts bring unexpected items
This was said: The Niantic support team reports on Twitter and gives this hint. They say:
Trainers, we recommend holding off on your gift interactions during the first day of the GO Fest until the Friendship Habitat appears. Since there is a global challenge to send gifts to friends. Once the goal is reached, gifts opened during the remaining time of the habitat may contain an unexpected item!
What does this mean? At the GO Fest, there will be 5 different habitats on the first day. One of them is the Friendship Habitat. Only when this habitat appears should you open and send your gifts.
If you have already reached the limit for opening gifts beforehand or have already sent all gifts, then you cannot complete the global challenge.
Additionally, a special item from the gifts has been announced as another bonus. You should not miss this, so it’s better not to open your gifts beforehand.
Why should you even open your gifts? During the GO Fest, some players will certainly have a shortage of balls. There are currently many balls in the gifts and you can counteract the shortage.
But you should at least have enough balls until the first time the Friendship Habitat appears. Then you can also use the time to open all gifts at once.
Is the GO Fest worth it? There are some really strong bonuses for the GO Fest 2020. In an article on MeinMMO, we have analyzed for you whether the purchase of the GO Fest ticket will be worth it for you.
