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 nearly decade-old game. This isn't a temporary event; Pokémon will appear more frequently across the board, with a particular boost in encounters and spawn locations within densely populated areas.

This update addresses player concerns regarding spawn rates, a common point of criticism post-pandemic. Niantic, the developer, has implemented this change as part of a broader effort to improve the game's overall experience and recapture players who may have drifted away. For players struggling to find specific Pokémon, this will be a welcome improvement.

While not explicitly acknowledging past shortcomings, the spawn rate increase reflects Niantic's adaptation to evolving circumstances. Urban landscapes and player distribution have shifted significantly since Pokémon Go's launch, making this adjustment a timely and player-centric move. City dwellers, in particular, will appreciate increased spawn rates during less favorable weather conditions.
