Pokémon Go to increase global spawn rates in major new move

Pokémon Go is significantly enhancing its global Pokémon spawn rates, a move designed to revitalize the almost decade-old game. This isn't a temporary event; Pokémon will appear more frequently across the board, with a particular increase in both encounter rates and spawn locations in densely populated areas.

This update addresses player feedback regarding spawn rates, a common point of criticism following the challenges Niantic faced in re-engaging players with the in-person aspects of the game post-pandemic. This change is likely to be very well-received by players who have struggled to find specific Pokémon.

While not explicitly acknowledging past shortcomings, the spawn rate increase reflects Niantic's adaptation to evolving player demographics and urban landscapes. Increased spawn rates in cities, especially during colder months, will undoubtedly benefit players in those areas.
