Pokémon GO Players Get Free Items After Mega Kangaskhan Raid Day Issues
Niantic is offering Pokémon GO players who were affected by various issues during this week’s Mega Kangaskhan Raid Day event free items as an apology. Pokémon GO has hosted plenty of special in-game events, either to celebrate a particular Pokémon or promote an upcoming Pokémon game or movie — as well as various holiday celebrations. This year’s round of Pokémon GO events has included a Ditto-themed April Fool's Day celebration, the Festival of Colors event that introduced the Generation 7 Flying-type Oricorio, and Pokémon GO Lush Jungle which showcased Grass and Bug-types like Tapu Lele, Fomantis, and Lurantis.
The latest Pokémon GO event took place earlier this week and put the spotlight on Mega Kangaskhan, a powered-up version of the popular Generation 1 Normal-type that’s known for carrying an infant in its pouch like a real-world kangaroo. Fans were certainly excited for the chance to catch Mega Kangaskhan after it was added to Pokémon GO in March, to the point where some went as far as to bake Mega Kangaskhan-themed pies in preparation for the Raid Day. However, many Pokémon GO players who logged in on Sunday to track down the elusive parent-child duo had their experience hindered due to the difficulty levels for Kangaskhan being too high, with less Mega Energy being offered up as a reward for defeating it. The game also stopped handing out the Free Raid Passes two hours earlier than scheduled — meaning that some players missed out on the chance to participate in the event altogether.
