Niantic have detailed further information about upcoming changes to come to Pokémon GO as the current global scenario continues.
First, Remote Raid Passes are coming soon and will allow you to select a Raid that you can see or is in your nearby Raid menu. These passes will cost 100 Poké Coins, but there will be a 1 Coin Bundle including them in the future. At launch, the Remote Raid Passes will function as normal but in the future, players using Remote Raid Passes will do less damage than those who are at the Raid location
Next, players will get a bonus Field Research task each day without having to spin a Poké Stop
Your Buddy Pokémon will also soon be able to bring you gifts, also without spinning a Poké Stop.
Soon there will be a few tweaks allowing you to Power Up Pokémon quicker, being able to select the amount of Stardust and Candy to use at once. There will also be changes to the Battle scenes to show consistent HP and even a Pokémon's types, and Shops to show if there's new items.
Finally, a note is also listed of people being able to use multiple Lucky Eggs, Star Pieces and Incense at once to have an increased duration of their effects, being able to activate for up to 24 hours at once
