How Pokémon Go EGX 2022 bonuses work
There are two bonuses taking place at EGX 2022 in London between Thursday, 22nd September to Sunday, 25th September:
- Lure modules lasting six hours
- Field research tasks with Joltik, Porygon and Unown (letters E, G, X) encounter rewards
These bonuses are based around various 'EGX London' PokéStops at the Excel conference centre where the show takes place, and look like the following:
There are around 12 PokéStops and two gyms along the EGX hall - with a cluster around the S8 queuing hall and a few more further at the end of the central concorse near the east entrance.
This means you have to physically be at the event to partipate in the bonuses - it won't be tied to your ticket or account unlike Niantic's own events.
These bonuses will be active until Sunday, 25th September at 8pm.
The Max Out Season is here. The new global event, Wild Area, is nearly here and In the Wild is our lead-up event, which includes the global release of Toxel. You can now catch Dynamax Pokémon through Max Battles. First, however, you need to visit Power Spots to collect Max Particles and complete the To the Max! quest. Don't forget to try out Routes, Gift Exchange and Party Play while you're hunting down rare Pokémon, fighting in the Go Battle League or competing in PokéStop Showcases.
Pokémon Go EGX 2022 field research tasks
Here are the EGX 2022 field research tasks in Pokémon Go:
- Trade a Pokémon - Joltik encounter
- Earn a Candy walking with your buddy - Porygon encounter
- Send 5 Gifts to friends - Unown (E, G or X) encounter
You may also encounter purple 'Sponsored' posts with Stardust and Rare Candy rewards.
Remember, the above field research can only be found from unique EGX-themed PokéStops found at the Excel during the EGX 2022 London weekend.
As with all field research, you don't have to complete it on the day. Provided you have the tasks in your possession, they won't expire until they are completed.
Useful if you forget to spin until the last minute and want to finish them later.
Enjoy your time at EGX! Don't forget to check out our video team's live shows, and if you're there Friday and Saturday night, to join Bertie for a pub quiz. It'll be lovely to see you!
