A particularly dull investigation into the ongoing Pokémon Go Fest 2024 event left even the most dedicated players perplexed. To their relief, however, Niantic has apparently stepped in with a quiet update to save the day.

In a rather surprising move, the developer has changed one of the tasks in the quest “Dawn of a New Discovery” to make the experience easier for Pokémon Go hunters.

If you haven’t noticed before, the task originally wanted hunters to catch seven Emolga, Crabrawler, or Ducklett. To do so, players had to select one of the species and complete the task to catch seven. But now, the same task has been updated, requiring players to catch 10 different species of Pokémon instead.

Considering how stubborn Niantic usually is when it comes to listening to the community, it’s certainly a rare and unexpected winning move. From a distance, you might not understand why players were upset about the first task, but this community post on Reddit perfectly encapsulates the struggles they went through. In short, players were forced to pick a creature and then grind for hours to find seven of them, thanks to their low spawn rates in Pokémon Go.
