PoGO – Pokémon GO: Bonbon Bonus & Zapdos Day – Dates and Tips

The completion of the second global challenge in Pokémon Go has activated various bonbons until July 23, 2018 – and on July 21, Zapdos Day awaits you because of it. Which candies you want to collect now, especially with the prospect of Gen 4 Pokémon, how the reduced walking distance to breed affects and everything else worth knowing, we have for you in the guide.

Pokémon Go trainers went all out this past weekend for Pokémon Go Fest in Chicago, unlocking candy and hatching bonuses as part of the global challenge that will be activated in Pokémon Go until July 23, 2018. Furthermore, completing all tasks unlocked Zapdos Day on July 21, 2018, which will take place from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. that day. The candy bonuses that currently provide a shower of sweets are the following:

• You will receive double the amount when catching and hatching Pokémon.
• You will receive a special candy extra from raids
• The distance you need to hatch eggs is reduced by half

Now you know which bonuses are activated. But what do you do with this knowledge? For one, the bonbon blessing helps push the mon that are already strong, and for another, you can already collect bonbons that will give you an advantage with the hinted release of Gen 4 Pokémon. The PoGo fans at PokémonGoHub have an interesting overview for you, which we have translated below.

Pokémon of the 4th generation

It makes a lot of sense to focus on the pocket monsters that will get a new evolution with the release of the 4th generation in Pokémon Go. Of course, there are also rare Pokémon in this list – so you should also consider using Sanana Berries and, of course, breeding. By the way, if you catch Pokémon in their first or second evolution, you’ll get a good deal more candy if you use Sanana Berries. A Larvitar, for example, currently brings you 12 candies with the catch bonus and Sanana Berry, a Pupitar already 20 candies and a Despotar 40 candies.

Schlurp evolves into Schlurplek from the fourth generation, but it is very rare to find in the wild. It is recommended to specifically take the field research, for which you should catch Pokémon with five berries, because after all, the Pokémon spawning after completion also can not escape. Also rare in the wild are Elektek (becomes Elevoltek), Magmar (becomes Magbrant), Zwirrlicht (becomes Zwirrfinst via Zwirrklop (Gen 3)), Sniebel (becomes Snibunna) and Traunfugil (becomes Traunmagil). However, these are Pokémon that can be found in nests. Elektek and Rihorn also spawn in Raids, and you should be able to raid Elektek solo.

See in the Pokétracker Nasgnet (becomes Voluminas), Roselia (becomes Roserade), Yanma (becomes Yanmega), Magnetilo (becomes Magnezone via Magneton (Gen 1)), Schneppke (gets Frosdedje evolution in addition to Firnontor evolution), Quiekel (becomes Mamutel via Keifel (Gen 2)) and Rihorn (becomes Rihornior via Rizeros (Gen 1)), Trasla (gets Galagladi evolution after Kirlia evolution (Gen 3) in addition to Guardevoir evolution (Gen 3)), Tangela (becomes Tangoloss), and Skorgla (becomes Skorgro), then you should grab them to pick up some more bonuses for the upcoming evolutions.

Finally, Porygon (becomes Porygon-Z via Porygon2 (Gen 2)) and Togepi (becomes Togekiss via Togetic (Gen 2)) are among the really extremely rare Pokémon. That’s where it pays to hatch eggs or use them as your buddy Pokémon.

Metagame Pokémon

Both Geowaz (from Littlestone) and Machomei (from Machollo) are currently strong – Geowaz in particular because it’s a better choice for a Raid battle against Zapdos. Machomei continues to be the strongest battle Pokémon in the game. Despotar (from Larvitar) is also a powerful monster, even if you have one without the exclusive attack from Community Tag. That’s why you’ll want to put your candy into leveling up the mons, which looks remarkably similar to Godzilla. That being said, you’ll want to keep feeding your Heiteira (via Chaneira and, from Gen 4, Wonneira), as the Pokémon is one of the strongest defenders you can park in an arena.

Mass Evolution

If you’re after experience points, Pokémon like Taubsi and Rattfratz will also benefit from the candy bonus, as their evolution only costs 25 candies. Hornlius are also worthwhile; their evolution costs 12 candies. So if you diligently collect the most common Mon and then throw in a lucky egg during a mass evolution session, you can easily earn all kinds of XP. However, remember not to send all the Billomon to Professor Willow beforehand. And don’t forget about the evolutions like Rattikarl or Tauboga or Tauboss, because as already mentioned, they currently bring a lot of candy when you catch them.

Hatchery candies

Until July 23, the distance you need to hatch 2k, 5k, 7k and 10k eggs is cut in half. With a super hatcher, another reduction is added. Even if you only have the normal incubator, you should use it, because you’ll get double the amount of candies from hatched eggs – and there might be one or two ALoLa Pokémon you’re missing. Shiny versions of Isso, Togepi and Magby are also only available from eggs. Below is an overview of the new distances until July 23:

Zapdos Day

On Zapdos Day, July 21, between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m., Zapdos spawns in arenas – sometimes in its Shiny form. To do this, a Zapdos captured at that time learns the instant attack Thunder Shock, which gives the legendary mon a noticeable DPS buff. Because the Global Challenge bonuses are still active at that time, catching Zapdos will not only give you double the amount of bonuses, but also an additional special bonus from the raid. Also, remember that if you spin the photo dial in an arena on Zapdos Day, you’ll get five free raid passes.

Pokémon GO

Pokémon Go is the mobile spin-off of Nintendo’s popular Pokémon game series for Android and iOS. It is a so-called “location-based game”, i.e. a game that uses the player’s immediate surroundings. It is based on the principle of augmented reality.

Pokémon Map: Between landmarks and sights

Pokémon Go uses a Global Positioning System (GPS) to determine the player’s location and displays it on a map that also represents the playing field. The map is based on OpenStreetMap maps. The game is played mostly outdoors and uses landmarks, landmarks and other notable or eye-catching objects in the world to position either PokéStops or arenas there for you to battle for supremacy. Join either Team Intuition (Team Yellow, Zapdos), Team Wisdom (Team Blue, Arktos), or Team Daring (Team Red, Lavados). Under their flag you can then fight for the arenas, which are placed at hotspots like churches or similar. Pokémon can appear anywhere, though.

Pocket monsters visible on the Pokémon Go Map are randomly loaded into the game’s virtual map by the game server. If several players are playing in the same location, each player can see and catch the Pokémon independently of the others.

Pokémon Go Updates, News, Raids and More

The developers at Niantic regularly provide Pokémon Go with new updates or special raids that should only be tackled in a group of several people. The Pokémon Go Raids are therefore very popular, as they also offer the prospect of particularly rare Pokémon. For example, in the past, legendary Pokémon could always be caught on special occasions (Pokémon Go events). For particularly eager mobile or smartphone Pokémon trainers, there is also an external IV calculator, such as the online tool from Pokemon.gameinfo.io or on Pokefans.net, to check the values of your Pokémon.
