Here's a quirky twist coming to Pokémon GO on April 1, 2024, that’s bound to excite players. For one day only, every Good and Great throw you make will be counted as an Excellent throw. Yes, you heard that right — no matter the size of the catch circle, you'll be bagging the benefits of an Excellent throw, which include:

  • Enhanced catch rate
  • Extra XP gains

And there's more: Spinda will pop up in Field Task encounters, and a special Timed Research line will be open for grabs. While this might sound like just a small perk, remember the date it’s happening! It’s April Fools' Day, so keep your eyes peeled for any extra mischief Niantic might throw in. Historically, Niantic's April Fools' tweaks have been quite subdued, but who knows?

Seize the day for extra gains

Though it’s not the most groundbreaking bonus, it’s still a splendid chance to catch Pokémon more easily and rack up some additional XP. Dropping a Lucky Egg could be wise if you're hunting for XP. It’s also an ideal moment to tackle major raid bosses like Tapu Lele and Mega Venusaur.

Don't miss out on Pokemon GO daily encounters

Especially important on this day is to make sure you use your daily incense. Catching Pokémon will be easier, and if luck is on your side, you might even snag one of the elusive Galarian birds. Imagine how satisfying it will be to nail an Excellent throw on these notoriously hard-to-catch Pokémon in Pokemon Go!
