There have been lots of changes in gameplay over the past few months to adapt to the global situation. Some of these changes will remain implemented for the foreseeable future and some will be adjusted.
The following temporary bonuses will remain:
- The maximum number of Gifts you can carry in your Item Bag at a time will remain at 20.
- You will continue to receive three times the Stardust and XP for your first Pokémon catch of the day.
- Incense duration will remain at 60 minutes.
- Remote Raids will still be available
- No walking requirement for the GO Battle League
- You can still spin Photo Discs at Gyms and PokéStops from an increased distance
The following temporary bonuses will be modified starting on Thursday, October 1, 2020, at 1:00 p.m. PDT:
- Hatch Distance will return to normal for Eggs.
- The increased effectiveness of Incense will now apply only while walking.
- Your Buddy Pokémon will now bring you Gifts only when you have nearly run out. This will happen only once per day.
- You will still have a higher chance of getting a Gift when you spin a PokéStop. However, you won’t be guaranteed to get a Gift.
Incubators will be included in more boxes in the in-game shop.
