Pokémon GO: Important change before Community Day in March

Pokémon GO

As is well known, the next big Community Day in the mobile game Pokémon GO will take place on March 6, 2021, this Saturday. This time, the focus is on the pocket monster Dartiri and all of its forms of development. Shortly before this event, the Niantic development studio quietly and secretly made some changes that will be of benefit to you at Community Day.

Recently, the mobile game kicked off the "legendary season". Some dataminers immediately rummaged through the files and came across some interesting details. Accordingly, Niantic has adjusted the catch rate of some of the Pokémon. This also applies to the dartiri mentioned at the beginning. Its capture rate was previously 20 percent, but has now been increased to 50 percent by the developers.
