Pokemon GO April Fools Event Was a Big Deal for Level 49 Players

A Pokemon GO player has revealed that they made significant progress on the Excellent Throws quest required to reach level 50 after the April Fool's event. Since Pokemon GO's launch, Niantic has held an April Fool's-themed event for players. In the first edition, Pokemon GO added a shiny Murkrow and made an adorable change that swapped the images of the Kanto Pokemon for 8-bit sprites.
This year was no different, and Pokemon GO also had an April Fool's event. Named An Excellent Opportunity, the event launched Timed Research focused on catching Pokemon, and Field Research tasks giving the chance to find Spinda in various patterns. Another event bonus turned Nice Throws or better into Excellent Throws, increasing trainers' chances of catching better Pokemon. In addition, the April Fool's Day event proved to be a big deal for part of the Pokemon GO community, as revealed by one player.
Reddit user wethecrime has revealed that they got 881 of the 999 Excellent Throws needed to reach level 50 in Pokemon GO thanks to the April Fool's event bonus. The image shared by the Pokemon GO player shows that with the progress made, they also got 500 XP and reached 29,307,183 XP after joining the April Fool's event. As well as making 999 Excellent Throws, one of the criteria for getting to level 50 in Pokemon GO is obtaining 30 million XP. Thanks to the grind done in the April Fool's event, the OP player is 692,517 XP away from the coveted goal.
The journey for trainers to get from level 40 to 50 in Pokemon GO is a challenging one, as the XP needed to level up is exponentially higher than in the first few levels. In addition, Pokemon GO players need to fulfill specific requirements at each level, such as winning 30 raids, using 200 super-effective Charged Attacks, and hatching 30 eggs. Although it's a laborious process, reaching level 50 in Pokemon GO guarantees rewards such as a Mewtwo encounter, Noibat encounter, and Premium Battle Passes.
With the end of the April 1st event, Pokemon GO players turn their attention to upcoming activities in the augmented reality game. The April Community Day Classic will take place this weekend, allowing players to catch Bagon and evolve it into a Salamence with Charged Attack Outrage. Another ongoing event is Wonder Ticket Part 2, with various bonuses such as encounters with Eevee and its Eeveelutions using a special accessory.
After a test run via an April Fools' joke on Google Maps, Pokemon GO was released to the public in the summer of 2016. The AR mobile app saw unparalleled success and continues to be one of the largest mobile games in the world, pulling in billions for developer Niantic.
