'Pokemon Go' tips & tricks update: Niantic adds catch bonus, egg and incubator screens, new gym training system

The hype around "Pokemon Go" may have simmered down a bit but it's still one of the most played mobile games. In fact, developer Niantic has announced that it will be releasing new changes to the game soon.

According to reports, it will be releasing a new update which will contain lots of tweaks and fresh contents to make the gaming experience better. The update that is expected to hit devices soon is version 0.41.2 which is said to already have rolled out for Android users. Those who are using iOS will have to wait for version 1.11.2.

Included in the update is the Catch Bonus which is described as a feature which will basically help gamers catch rare Pokemon. Catch Bonus is awarded to every gamer who is able to complete a badge for catching specific Pokemon monsters.

Another update that Niantic has included is the new gym training system. The change log from the development team detailed that trainers can now bring along with them six Pokemon to battle at friendly Gyms.

The combat power of the Pokemon that a player will battle with will be temporarily lowered for the training session. This new system will allow gamers to increase the gym's level and acquire some experience in the process.

Aside from the new gym system, the update will also bring the Egg and Incubator Screen. This is the latest major upgrade and it's designed to make it easier for players to check the progress of hatching eggs.

Instead of reopening the screen just to check if the player was able to cover the distance required to hatch Pokemon eggs, it will periodically update the distance covered while players are enjoying the game.

Niantic still has a lot in store for its gamers so they should stay tuned for more updates soon in "Pokemon Go."
