What Are Adventure Effects in Pokémon GO?
In Pokémon GO, Adventure Effects is a relatively recent feature that enhances gameplay by giving certain Pokémon the ability to trigger temporary effects that can benefit the trainer in various ways. These effects often provide boosts like increased wild Pokémon encounters, extended time for Trainer boosts items, higher catch chances, or other benefits that persist for a set duration. You can activate (or extend the duration) of the effect as much as you need it and also have the resources required. Please note that each ability can only be activated per Pokémon per time.
