According to the report from Otakukart, Niantic has announced a brand new event for Pokemon Go in preparation for the New Year. It seems like trainers are receiving more than they deserve with these recent additions from the company. Based on the report, the event brings an increase spawn rate of the three starter Pokemon namely Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle. In fact, it is worth noting that this increase in spawn rate applies also to all of their evolution chain.
Meanwhile, some areas might not enjoy this event due to the frequent snow and rain. However, it is highly recommended that players who have fair weather should make the most out of this event since the next wave of bonuses remains unclear. Aside from the increase in spawn, the effect of the Lure Module has also been increased from 30 to 60 minutes. As a result, it will increase your chance in catching and collecting candies for your starter Pokemon.
Pokemon Go's New Year event will officially end on Jan. 8, 2017 while Christmas Event is still live and expected to end on January 3rd since it was extended by the company due to multiple requests. Overall, Niantic is doing a great job making their players engaged in such events by giving special bonuses and limited edition resources. Additionally, Santa Hat Pikachu's appearance on the game was extended. So make sure to catch this timed-exclusive version of this adorable electric mouse Pokemon.
