Are you ready for increased stardust, experience points, and more candies? The Pokémon GO Fest rewards trainers around the world!
On July 22, the Pokémon GO Fest will take place in Grant Park, Chicago. However, not only trainers present will receive rewards and bonuses. Rewards are planned for trainers around the world, which could greatly enhance your accounts. Possible rewards include increased stardust and more experience points as well as reduced egg distances.
What to expect on July 22 and how the bonuses will be unlocked will be shown here.
Pokémon GO July 22 – Rewards Await
The “Pokémon GO Fest Chicago” takes place on July 22 in Grant Park, Chicago. On this day, there will be a global challenge in Pokémon GO where trainers on-site can collaborate with trainers around the world. Special rewards are waiting for you!
During the day, there are three time slots in which you can unlock rewards together with trainers at the Chicago event. The trainers in the park will try to catch Pokémon of a specific type to unlock benefits for players around the world.
Every Pokémon type is associated with a different advantage.
- Electric Pokémon affect egg distance
- Fire Pokémon affect candy bonuses
- Water Pokémon affect XP rewards
- Grass Pokémon affect stardust bonuses
Additional bonuses are available for buddy distance bonuses and increased spawn rates of various Pokémon.
In the meantime, trainers outside Grant Park worldwide will try to catch as many Pokémon as possible. This will extend the duration of these bonuses for the event participants in Grant Park.
Special Challenge on July 22
If trainers around the world manage to catch enough Pokémon, a special challenge task will be unlocked in Grant Park. Once this is solved, there will be another special global bonus for all Pokémon trainers.
“Trainers everywhere will want to bring their friends and family to help make this celebration the biggest in the history of Pokémon GO!”
Mein-MMO says: This event sounds like an excellent challenge that strengthens the bond between trainers around the world. The strong rewards that can be unlocked make the event a global fun. Presumably, many Grass-type Pokémon will initially be caught in Grant Park so that all trainers can enjoy lots of stardust.
We like this global event! What do you think of Niantic’s idea to involve all trainers?
