Pokémon Go to increase global spawn rates in major new move

Pokémon Go is significantly increasing global Pokémon spawn rates, a move aimed at revitalizing the nearly decade-old game. This permanent change will result in more frequent Pokémon appearances, with increased encounter rates and expanded spawn areas in densely populated regions.

This update addresses player concerns regarding spawn rates, a common point of criticism following the challenges Niantic faced in re-engaging players with the game's in-person aspects post-pandemic. This adjustment is a straightforward yet impactful way to improve player experience and satisfaction.

While not explicitly acknowledging past shortcomings, the spawn rate increase reflects Niantic's adaptation to evolving urban landscapes and player distribution over the years. Increased spawn rates in cities will be particularly beneficial during colder months, minimizing the time players need to spend outdoors.
