Pokémon Go to increase global spawn rates in major new move

by Dylan Feb 11,2025

Pokémon Go is significantly enhancing its global Pokémon spawn rates, a move aimed at revitalizing the nearly decade-old game. This isn't a temporary event; Pokémon will appear more frequently across the board, with a notable increase in both encounter rates and spawn locations in densely populated areas.

This update directly addresses player criticism regarding spawn rates, a simple yet impactful change likely to be well-received. While not explicitly an admission of past shortcomings, the adjustment reflects Niantic's adaptation to evolving player demographics and urban landscapes over the past ten years. Increased spawn rates, particularly beneficial in colder months, will encourage more gameplay in urban areas.

This improved accessibility makes catching Pokémon easier, addressing a common frustration among players. The change is a strategic move by Niantic to re-engage players and strengthen the game's appeal.
