Pokemon GO Better Together event bonus reportedly works on streak XP

Pokemon GO's Ultra Unlock: Better Together event is underway and trainers are drawing themselves to the festivities for multiple reasons including the 4x XP bonus for catching Pokemon. Turns out, that the bonus might be even better than expected, as according to The Silph Road Redditor u/Gallad475, the 4x XP modifier also applies to the daily Pokemon catch streak bonuses.

Many Pokemon GO fans in The Silph Road subreddit shared their surprise while also suggesting that the experience multiplier could be even further magnified by catching Tandemaus and receiving a new Pokemon bonus or using a Lucky Egg to increase experience gains. Players even shared screenshots of them racking up a huge XP total by completing their 7-day streak during the event.

All things considered, this post made clear that the Better Together part of the extended Ultra Unlock event should be an excellent time for Pokemon GO players to increase their trainer level and reap all the rewards that come with that. However, this fact doesn't stop with Better Together either, as plenty of players were quick to point out that catch experience bonuses work with streaks in other events too.

Whatever the case, any trainers participating in this event will want to keep this stacking catch XP/catch streak bonus in mind going forward. Even if some players were aware of it beforehand, it never hurts to receive a reminder so that everyone can take full advantage of all the potential bonuses as much as possible, especially considering the grind to max trainer level.

How to make the most of Pokemon GO Ultra Unlock Better Together's Catch XP Bonuses

Pokemon GO's Ultra Unlock: Better Together event should be a reminder that catch XP bonuses are a huge benefit for a trainer who is hoping to raise their trainer level quickly. This is because these bonuses work intuitively alongside daily catch streaks, throw aim bonuses, curveball bonuses, new Pokemon catch bonuses, Lucky Eggs, and more.

By stacking all of these bonuses together, players can collect tens of thousands of experience points from a single catch, which is certainly worth pursuing. This is especially true when trainers reach trainer levels closer to 40-50. With such sizable experience point requirements to proceed at those tiers, trainers should seize every opportunity they can to make sizable gains.

Moreover, given the mass volume of rewards that players can acquire by leveling up, events like Ultra Unlock: Better Together are the perfect staging grounds for making substantial progress toward one's trainer level. Even if trainers aren't keen on the featured Pokemon or other aspects of an event, keeping the catch bonuses coming can be enough to generate interest in the future.
