Trainers had a fun and interesting day today as they gathered together to hunt down Rhyhorn, the mighty beast hailing from the Kanto Region. The occasion was special as it marked the first time that players had say in who the creature would be featured during the event. Players enjoyed plenty of candy and Shiny Rhyhorn and on top of that the bonus of 3 times Catch Stardust was a sure motivator to get Trainers back into the tall grass.
Despite the fun February Community Day Event that just passed and everything it entailed, Niantic has rolled out even more bonuses for players to enjoy. Until Monday February 24th at 10 pm in their local time zone Pokémon Trainers will be delighting in the special features of
Pokémon Go's Special Friendship Weekend Event.
During the time of this event friendship levels will increase twice as fast. Players will notice that when trading with friends they will gain twice the normal amount of Trade Candy while Trades themselves will require half the usual Stardust cost. Gifts are also included in the fun as trainers are able to hold and send twice as many as usual.
As the name and all of the features suggest, this weekend is all about friendship and community. Will you be taking part? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!
