Pokémon Go is significantly enhancing its global Pokémon spawn rates, boosting encounter frequency and expanding spawn areas, particularly in densely populated regions. This permanent change, not limited to events, is part of Niantic's broader effort to revitalize the nearly decade-old game.
While Niantic's post-COVID updates have had mixed reception, this increased spawn rate is a welcome improvement for players struggling to find specific Pokémon. Addressing a common criticism directly, this update is a simple yet effective way to improve player satisfaction.

This adjustment isn't necessarily an admission of past errors, but rather a strategic adaptation to evolving circumstances. Over the past ten years since Pokémon Go's launch, urban landscapes and player distribution have shifted considerably. Increased spawn rates, especially beneficial during colder months, will improve the gameplay experience for city dwellers.
