Pokémon GO, Niantic's Pokémon video game for mobile phones, allows us to get double the experience these days. The "gift" coincides with events celebrating the game's first anniversary.

In addition to the fact that Legendary Pokémon have started to appear, Pokémon GO announced other new surprises and benefits for players. During this special period, which is part of the anniversary celebrations, we can get double experience and double candy

Now Niantic has just announced that all special benefits are valid until Thursday night the 27th. In the case of the time zone of mainland Spain, we would be talking about 2.00 in the morning from Thursday 27 to Friday 28.

Therefore, we have until then to make the most of the Pokémon GO celebrations. These are the last hours to enjoy:

• Double experience score (XP) in game actions.
• Double the amount of stardust with Pokémon catches.
• Easier to encounter wild Pokémon.
• Less distance needed to hatch Pokémon eggs.
• The double candy when we catch a Pokémon.
• The distance needed to getting candy with the companion Pokémon is also reduced.

In addition to everything mentioned, the raids with legendary Pokémon are still going on, the first time we've had so far to get one of these mythical figures.

Tricks to get more experience in Pokémon GO

Since the game offers double XP points by default, we can make the most of the situation. These are some tasks that you can put into practice on these days:

• Use Lucky Eggs, which double XP for 30 minutes. This means that in this time you will gain four times more experience than in a normal situation.
• Evolve as many Pokémon as you can. This action allows you to earn a lot of XP points.
• Take the opportunity to venture into the gyms: battle your Pokémon, conquer gyms from enemy teams and participate in raids.
