The outbreak of Novel Coronavirus has halted the world & it has put many nations into lockdown. However, now the governments of various countries are opening-up restrictions, as two months of lockdown has disrupted the global economy.
COVID-19 pandemic also stalled the development of many movies, games & TV shows. Well, Pokemon Go, a game that is based on a concept of going out & catching Pokemon has also got affected by this disease outbreak.
As due to COVID-19, players can’t venture out freely to do in-game tasks & catch Pokemon. Earlier, Niantic made some changes to the game, such that players can enjoy the game from the home. Niantic has also added Play at home tab on their official website.
Speaking about the list of changes, gifts are now dropping more often from Pokestops. Pokemon habitats have been increased and more Pokémon are currently appearing in the wild. Apart from this, Niantic also introduced 1 Pokecoin bundle, which provided trainers with a lot of items in an exchange of 1 Pokecoin.
In addition to this, Niantic also started to give free promo codes for players. By using those codes, players can earn various rewards. However, these codes are only made available for a limited period of time.
There is good news for Pokemon Go trainers, as a new code for the game is currently live. Players can get 50 Pokeballs by using the following code: K8G9DFV4X7L3W. It can be redeemed from here. This code is only available until May 28 at 1 pm UTC.
Apart from this, Pokemon Go servers will go down on June 1 for the complete 7 hours. Game servers will stay under maintenance during this time. However, Niantic has not officially revealed the reason for this maintenance.
