Niantic expands remote gaming options throughout the month of June from the comfort of home. We know in detail what we can do.
Niantic and The Pokémon Company have confirmed that the exceptional measures to play Pokémon GO from home due to the severity of the coronavirus (COVID-19) will continue to be active, at least, during this June. The developer's official Twitter account has notified the community about this information: all the special bonuses we had in May will continue to be active during June.
Keep playing Pokémon GO at home in June
For a few weeks, Pokémon GO has enabled new options to continue playing from home, features that normally require our travel. However, options such as battles, captures and gifts are not only enabled for access from home, but also have additional bonuses or rewards.
-
Incenses: Activating these items allows more Pokémon to be around our location. The effectiveness of incenses has increased (more Pokémon in the same space) and its duration is double: 60 minutes.
-
Extra research task every day: Research tasks, under normal conditions, are accomplished by rotating Photo Disks in Poképaradas. Now, at midnight, each day we receive an additional task without having to go to one of these places far from home. In addition, the included missions are designed to be done from home.
-
Send and receive more gifts than normal: if under normal conditions we can carry a total of 10 gifts, in this period we can carry up to 20. In addition, the number of gifts that we can open each day is increased from 20 to 30. Poké Balls will appear more frequently in June as well.
-
Remote Raids: Thanks to remote raid passes, which we can find in the Store, we can access raids from home if they are in our range of vision. A pack of 3 units of remote raids has been enabled for only 1 Pokécurrency. From there, each pass has a cost of 100 Pokémonedas (0.99 euros).
-
League Fights GO: In addition, Coach Fights and Battles in online multiplayer can be done from home. There are classifications and Leagues that determine our category as Coaches or Coaches. We can also practice with our friends from anywhere by sending them our QR Code.
-
Play with your partner: it is not necessary to leave the house to increase friendship with your partner. With the Adventures with your companions function we can play with him, take photos of him, give him goings and more.
-
Mystery Box: Another function we can do from home is to connect Pokémon GO with Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! or with Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee! from Nintendo Switch and unlock the Mystery Box to send a Pokémon GO Pokémon to Pokémon GO GO Park.
