New Pokémon Go bonuses will make it easier to catch rare Pokémon down the track.

Developer Niantic Labs says an upcoming new feature will grant bonuses when players earn medals for catching specific Pokémon types. The bonuses will make it easier to catch rare Pokémon that match those same types.

The feature is “coming soon”, according to the developer. We’ll keep you posted.

Pokémon Go is available now on iOS and Android devices.
