Niantic launched the "Pokémon GO" Worldwide Bloom event over the weekend where players could see an increase in the spawn rate for the Grass-type Pokémon. But it might not be as successful as the previous Water event.
The game developer announced the Grass event on its website, urging players to capture as many Grass-type Pokémon they can within the short amount of time. This means players will be able to capture Bulbasaur, Gloom, Venusaur, Paras, Bellsprout, Bayleef, Exeggutor, Hoppip, Skiploom, and Sunkern more easily during the said times.
According to reports, the event that started on Friday, May 5, and ended on Monday, May 8, may have failed to live up to expectations. The reports claim that a lot of players were not able to capture as many Grass-type Pokémon as they would have wanted because the event was reportedly broken.
However, The Silph Road reports in a statement that the issue was already resolved before the event ended. On their part, Niantic also released a statement through Reddit regarding the issues of the "Pokémon GO" Grass Event.
"We have received several reports over the last few hours from Trainers claiming they've experienced issues trying to collect items from PokéStops or catch Pokémon this evening. After investigating further, we've implemented some changes that should further prevent this from occurring, and we believe that this issue has been fixed," the game developer says in the statement.
"We will continue to monitor the information available to us and react accordingly should any additional issues arise. Thanks again for remaining patient and bringing these issues to our attention both here on Reddit and over on our other social media channels," Niantic also states.
More news and updates on "Pokemon GO" should arrive soon.
