Niantic Labs has published a detailed roadmap for removing the pandemic-era bonuses it previously implemented in Pokemon GO.
The company unveiled its plans through a post on the official Pokemon GO live news blog on Monday, June 21. Throughout the process, Niantic plans to keep tabs on the COVID-10 situations around the world and make adjustments accordingly. Trainers may benefit from different bonuses at different times as a result.
“We learned a lot.” Niantic wrote, “Thank you for coming along with us as we continue to navigate through this together.”
Niantic plans to start its rollout in July after Pokemon GO Fest 2021.

The process has been divided into three individual parts: new bonuses, bonuses to be changed or removed, and bonuses that will remain.
New Bonuses Coming to Pokemon GO
These are being implemented to encourage more exploration and to help get trainers back outside.
Previous Bonuses to be Reformed or Removed
Incense effectiveness will return to its pre-pandemic standard with a small caveat: trainers currently in motion will receive a similar boost for as long as they’re moving around.
Buddy Pokemon will no longer bring gifts as often or carrying as plentiful of supplies. Trainers will have to go back to spinning PokeStops for their items.
The distance at which some PokeStops and Gyms can be interacted with will return to its pre-pandemic standard. However, these may change depending on future events and other special features.
Remote Raids will remain and be subject to changes as developers work to “find the right balance between remote play and in-person play.”

Previous Bonuses to be Kept
These bonuses will remain as part of the base game programming “for the foreseeable future.”
Niantic committed to transparency involving future changes to post-pandemic gameplay. Additionally, trainers are encouraged to keep an eye on their Today View tab to stay in the know on what mechanics they’ll be benefitting from.
