Pokemon Go update: Huge surge from new event as news revealed of Nintendo Switch rival
Pokemon Go updates continue to push the game back up the charts
A new Pokemon Go update usually helps the game bring players back, and the latest event hasn’t proved any different.
It has now been revealed that the popular Android and Apple app is back in the top grossing list, following a short absence.
iOS users have driven Pokemon Go up into the top 5 grossing apps on the iPhone marketplace, although the same has not happened on the Android platform.
Pokemon Go remains low down in the Google Play Store pecking order, which suggests some kind of shift in player numbers on each platform.
The current Pokemon Go event appears to be the reason for the boost, with the Solstice limited run giving players the chance to grab missing Fire and Ice types, missing from their collections.
Other bonuses include huge XP bonuses for successfully catching Pokemon with the range of Nice, Great, and Excellent Throws, as well as Curveballs and First Throws.
