Pok\u00e9mon Go players rejoice as Niantic<\/strong> has updated the game<\/a> to allow players to level up their characters and Pok\u00e9mon faster<\/strong> as a Thanksgiving celebration.<\/p>\n

From November 23rd until November 30th<\/strong>, all players will receive double the amount of XP and Stardust from all sources<\/strong>. Be it hatching eggs, catching Pok\u00e9mon or defeating gyms, players will gain XP and Stardust quicker during the duration of the event.<\/p>\n

Niantic has also made some balance changes that will see certain Pok\u00e9mon have their CP raised or lowered<\/strong>. Some Pok\u00e9mon that will be buffed includes Alakazam, Rhydon and Gengar.<\/p>\n

Finally, Niantic has implemented Ditto into the game<\/strong>. As Ditto is known to transform into other Pok\u00e9mon, any Pok\u00e9mon that you attempt to capture could very well be a Ditto in disguise<\/strong>. If you\u2019ve been looking for a Ditto all this while, it\u2019s probably a good idea to catch every single Pok\u00e9mon you meet instead of skipping over the ones that you\u2019ve already got.<\/p>\n
