Pokemon Go double XP event ENDS SOON, as Rayquaza Raids, Windy bonuses are removed

Pokemon Go developer Niantic is about to bring the Windy Weather event to an end.

The double XP event has a March 16 end date, which means it’s likely to run until around 9pm UK time.

“Remember Trainers, you have only until March 16 to earn double XP!” reads a Niantic tweet. “Take advantage of this bonus by hatching, catching, and battling during this limited-time event!”

As part of the event, wind-type Pokemon are more likely to hatch from eggs and wind-type Pokemon are more likely to appear in the wild and in Gym Raids.

Fans also gain double XP for performing tasks within Pokemon Go, and can capture Legendary Pokemon Rayquaza.

It’s unclear which Legendary Pokemon will be repacing Rayquaza, with Niantic expected to make an announcement tomorrow.

And Niantic has made it slightly easier to capture the Legendary Pokemon Rayquaza.

Niantic has given Android users a boost by moving certain Pokemon closer to the front of the screen.

According to a new report on ComicBook, the changes were introduced to combat a problem for Android users with longer, narrow screens.

Niantic has changed the distance of Legendary Pokemon like Rayquaza and Groudon, not to mention Tropius, Wailmer, and Hariyama.

The Windy Weather event will be followed by the third Community event, which focuses on Bulbasaur.

Taking place for three hours on March 25, the next Community Day event will give fans a chance to capture more of the Grass-type Pokemon.

Bulbasaur or one of its evolutions will also have an exclusive move.

And if it’s anything like previous Community Day events, fans should be able to capture a Shiny Bulbasaur.

To make things easier, Lures will last for the entirety of the event, and players will receive triple XP for capturing Pokemon.
