Pokemon Go \u201cApril Fowl\u2019s day\u201d: How to play Pidgey Pandemonium NianticNiantic has made some (hopefully temporary) changes to Pokemon Go for April Fools, and this year, players will have to deal with an epidemic of Pidgeys. With many games introducing small changes to make playing on April 1st a bit more entertaining, it\u2019s only natural that Pokemon Go followed suit. This isn\u2019t the first time Niantic has added something extra to Pokemon go for April Fools. Last year, they increased the spawn rate of several different types of pokemon, and hid Dittos among them. They then tasked trainers with trying to figure out which pokemon the Dittos had disguised as. This time around, they\u2019re doing something similar with Pidgey, but with a different task in mind for players. Below is your guide to this year\u2019s April Fools in Pokemon Go. What is Pidgey Pandemonium? This year, Niantic has drastically increased the chances of encountering Pidgey. Trainers will also be more likely to find XXS or XXL Pidgeys during this event. There are also new event-themed Research tasks available to complete. Finishing all the tasks while the event is still running will make Pidgey available to encounter. The event runs from 1pm to 7pm (local time) on April 1. In a message to trainers, Niantic said: \u201cEmergency! We have a feathery fiasco on our hands. Over the years, Trainers have transferred Pok\u00e9mon to Professor Willow\u2019s lab\u2014 perhaps too many, as it seems the integrity of the Pidgey pen has been compromised! And now all those transferred Pidgey have flown the coop! \u201cYou read that right: there are Pidgey everywhere. EVERYWHERE! \u201cPlease help us catch the rogue Pidgey before the pecking order is upended for good!\u201d How to get April Fools Special Research Trainers will also be able to claim Special Research from Professor Willow, who needs help recapturing all the Pidgey. The research can be claimed at any time between 3pm to 11.59pm (local time) on April 1, so you don\u2019t need to worry about different time zones messing the event up for you.
