In Pokémon GO a major event for players in the USA, Mexico, and Japan starts this weekend. However, players in Germany can also benefit from bonuses. These revolve around the gift limit and trading distance.
What kind of event is this? On Saturday, May 29, the Special Weekend starts in Pokémon GO. Players in the USA, Mexico, and Japan can participate. To take part, you need to obtain a ticket, which can be acquired from partners like Verizon, 7-Eleven, and Yoshinoya.
But trainers in Germany, who do not have access to the partners and therefore cannot obtain a ticket, will also receive bonuses.
More gifts per day and 40 km trading distance
What happens? Trainers around the world (even those who do not possess a ticket for the event) will receive the following bonuses:
- You can open twice as many gifts daily
- The range for trades with other trainers is increased to 40 kilometers
This type of bonuses is already known from other friendship events. You can take advantage of them again this weekend without having to purchase a ticket. This will be unlocked automatically without your input.
How long does it last? The bonuses start on Friday, May 28, at 10:00 AM local time. They will last until Monday, May 31, at 10:00 AM (via pokemongolive.com).
For ticket holders
What do ticket holders get? If you currently have the opportunity to purchase from the mentioned partners abroad, you can expect:
- A limited research with Eevee, Swablu, Spritzee, and Dreepy and rewards like XP, Stardust, Incense, Lure Module, Lucky Egg, and Pokémon Candy
- Increased chance of finding Lucky Pokémon
- Increased chance of becoming Lucky Friends
- Quadruple catch XP
- An exclusive medal
What’s next in Pokémon GO?
This is what happens next: The first weekend of June will see the Community Day featuring Applin in Pokémon GO. An event that is received with mixed feelings by trainers. While some are excited about meeting such a rare Pokémon more frequently, others are annoyed and feel that their rare Pokémon is being devalued.
Additionally, the GO Fest 2021 will start in the summer. Pokémon GO will provide more details on this shortly (via Twitter.com). Currently, not much is known about the GO Fest. In the coming days, the developers are also expected to release an overview of all the events happening in June 2021.
Will you take advantage of the event this weekend with the trading and gift bonus, or is that something that isn’t relevant to you? Let us know what event you are looking forward to in Pokémon GO and what makes it so great. Share your thoughts in the comments on MeinMMO with other players.
