In Pokémon GO, trainers can receive compensation for an issue in a recent event. Only certain trainers were affected.
In Pokémon GO, many events take place every month, bringing various content into the game. Occasionally, it happens that events find their way into the game with issues, and trainers are compensated for it, as was recently the case during the Catching Art Event.
As Niantic reports, there were also issues during a recent event. Affected trainers are now to be compensated.
No development possible
What was the problem? The affected players are those who participated in raids during the “Stunning Variants” event. Specifically, trainers who defeated Wuffels in raids.
Wuffels can evolve into Wolwerock. There are 3 different forms: Day, Night, and Twilight form. While the evolution to Day and Night form is only dependent on the time of day, the Twilight form is a bit harder to obtain.
Only certain Wuffels can evolve into this form. Such Wuffels were supposed to be available in raids during the event, but therein lies the problem. You couldn’t obtain these specimens of the Pokémon during the event.
What does the compensation look like? As Niantic informs on X, trainers who participated in Wuffels raids during the event will now be compensated. Trainers are to receive exactly the number of premium and remote raid passes that they used for Wuffels raids during the event.
So, if you used 3 remote raid passes and 2 premium raid passes during the event to compete against Wuffels, you should receive exactly that number of passes back.
When the affected trainers will receive the compensation is not precisely known. If you were affected, keep an eye out in the near future.
Events are a major part of Pokémon GO. Every month, there are various events that bring different content with them. You can find out which events are expected in the game this month in our overview with all Events in April 2025 in Pokémon GO.
