Original news from April 14, 2021: Environment Week is coming up for Pokémon Go fans as part of Niantic’s sustainability campaign, and to make participating in the event a little more palatable, Environment Week brings the new pocket monster Bithora into play. You’ll also be able to find Shimmering Unratütox, and you’ll have the chance to grab free Avatar items as well as the rewards of a new Temporary Research. It is not yet known what you have to do for this, but we will add the details in this Environment Wednesday guide as soon as they are known.

As part of the sustainability campaign, there will also be small actions again, through which dedicated Pokémon Go players can contact Niantic and pick up trash in their neighborhood, for example. Depending on how many contributions are collected from the community, various extra bonuses will be unlocked for all players worldwide, on April 25, 2021 between 10:00 am and 8:00 pm. This will take the following form:

Level 1 (2,500 posts): Level 5 raid battles occur more frequently.

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.
