"Pokemon Go" recently received a few changes that enhanced the game's egg hatching system. Niantic has removed several common Pokemon monsters from its list of creatures that can be hatched from the game's virtual eggs.
Niantic made a few "Pokemon Go" improvements where players will find more Pidgeys and Rattatas in the wild rather than from Pokemon eggs. In a Twitter message posted on Nov. 3, Thursday, the company confirmed the said two monster's removal from the game's egg hatching system.
Professor Willow has discovered that Pidgey & Rattata no longer hatch from Eggs. He also found that Eevee now hatches from 5 km Eggs only.

The mobile gaming app's egg hatching rotation was also enhanced to eliminate the Normal type Eevee from the game's 10-kilometer egg level. Niantic shared in its social media post that Eevee will now be found among the Pokemon creatures that can be hatched from the 5-kilometer egg tier.
Prior to the update, "Pokemon Go" players previously had several frustrating egg hatching moments. Expecting to see rare Pokemon monsters from 10-kilometer eggs, many gamers were disappointed to find an Eevee instead of a Jynx or a Magmar.
In other news, several gamers took notice of the improved variety of creatures appearing in recent Pokemon spawns. A Reddit thread highlighted the appearance of unique monsters such as Ponyta, Abra and more.
The enhanced Pokemon spawns became noticeable after the mobile gaming app concluded its first Halloween gaming event. A few Redditors even applauded Niantic for "mixing up the spawns" and described it as a "smart move" for "Pokemon Go."
In other news, Niantic unveiled its new daily bonus reward matrix where gamers can gain experience points, Stardust and other in-game items. In an announcement posted on the game's official website, players will receive daily rewards for completing specific activities such as catching a Pokemon or visiting a Pokestop.
A bonus of 500 XP with 600 Stardust will be given for daily Pokemon captures, while daily Pokestop visits will reward trainers with the same XP boost plus several additional items. However, doing the same activity for seven straight days will unlock bigger bonuses and more items.
Niantic's new "Pokemon Go" daily bonuses program is expected to go live in the coming weeks. Meanwhile, learn how to find rare Pokemon monsters in the clip below:
