With the last major update for Pokémon GO, Niantic has finally implemented a comprehensive overhaul of the Pokémon arenas in the game. This also changes the way you can earn coins in the future. We explain everything you need to know here in our quick tip.
The long overdue update of the arenas in Pokémon GO has now been released on Android and iOS – and with it: a few changes to the coins you can collect with your Pokémon in the arenas. We’ll now explain exactly how the whole thing works.
Pokémon GO: The “Defender Bonus
When asked on Reddit how players will be able to collect Pokémon coins in the future, Niantic explained that the number of coins depends on how long a Pokémon has been defending an arena:
As soon as a Pokémon is defeated and its motivation is exhausted, it returns to its trainer with a certain amount of Pokécoins. The longer your Pokémon has defended the arena, the more coins you will receive – but exactly how many coins that will be is still unknown.
So to maximize the amount of coins you get from the arena, you’ll need to keep your Pokémon battle-ready and motivated. You can do this by feeding it berries on a regular basis. However, there are two small catches: First, you won’t receive the coins until your Pokémon returns to you from the arena. The coins are then automatically credited to you and you get a message about how many coins your Pokémon had with it. Secondly, the amount of coins you can collect per day is limited to 100. Once you reach this limit, the rest of the coins you collected will be forfeited. So be careful not to continue feeding your Pokémon berries if you have already reached the coin limit and are not interested in continuing to defend the arena with that Pokémon.
Pokémon GO
Pokémon Go is the mobile spin-off of Nintendo’s popular Pokémon game series for Android and iOS. It is a so-called “location-based game”, i.e. a game that uses the player’s immediate surroundings. It is based on the principle of augmented reality.
Pokémon Map: Between landmarks and sights
Pokémon Go uses a Global Positioning System (GPS) to determine the player’s location and displays it on a map that also represents the playing field. The map is based on OpenStreetMap maps. The game is played mostly outdoors and uses landmarks, landmarks and other notable or eye-catching objects in the world to position either PokéStops or arenas there for you to battle for supremacy. Join either Team Intuition (Team Yellow, Zapdos), Team Wisdom (Team Blue, Arktos), or Team Daring (Team Red, Lavados). Under their flag you can then fight for the arenas, which are placed at hotspots like churches or similar. Pokémon can appear anywhere, though.
Pocket monsters visible on the Pokémon Go Map are randomly loaded into the game’s virtual map by the game server. If several players are playing in the same location, each player can see and catch the Pokémon independently of the others.
Pokémon Go Updates, News, Raids and More
The developers at Niantic regularly provide Pokémon Go with new updates or special raids that should only be tackled in a group of several people. The Pokémon Go Raids are therefore very popular, as they also offer the prospect of particularly rare Pokémon. For example, in the past, legendary Pokémon could always be caught on special occasions (Pokémon Go events). For particularly eager mobile or smartphone Pokémon trainers, there is also an external IV calculator, such as the online tool from Pokemon.gameinfo.io or on Pokefans.net, to check the values of your Pokémon.
