Are you saving your Pokémon encounters from quest rewards? There will soon be a limit in Pokémon GO.
Only stack 100 rewards: In Pokémon GO, you can initially save the rewards for quests before redeeming them. However, due to an update in August, it can only be stacked up to a number of 100. This was announced by Niantic.
Stacking quest rewards for events
Deferring encounters: If you are rewarded with a Pokémon encounter for completing a quest, you can either participate directly and catch the Pokémon or defer the encounter by fleeing. The encounter then goes onto a stack that could previously grow indefinitely. The task still counts as completed and you have room for new research. You can retrieve the deferred tasks from the stack later.
Stacks limited to 100: As the Pokémon GO team explains on Twitter, there will be a limit starting from August 20, 2018. The number of stored rewards will be limited to 100 from that day onwards.
Why save: Many trainers heard for the first time with this announcement that they can save the rewards from research. Players save these rewards to combine them with lucky eggs or events.
By saving, trainers could stack encounters with several hundred Pokémon. When activating a lucky egg or a star piece, they could catch those hundreds of Pokémon conveniently one after another, earning a lot of experience points or stardust.
Disappointment among players: Many trainers had already made big plans for the many stored monster encounters. They were looking forward to the stardust event, expected as a reward for the Safari Zone in Yokosuka. In combination with the many hundred stored Pokémon encounters, a lot of stardust could have been gathered. However, the event starts only on August 29 – so after the storage limit. Therefore, trainers are now disappointed due to the limit.
Much stardust on Community Day: The upcoming Community Day featuring Eevee gives you triple the amount for catching Pokémon. Here, the storage strategy can also be well utilized to gain a lot of stardust.
