Pokemon Go players can rejoice as Niantic is testing a new feature for the game. The new test will revamp the Pokecoin system. Currently, players can only earn Pokecoin by defending gyms. But under the new system, players will be able to obtain Pokecoins from other activities.

As players have to follow homestay in order to stop the spread of Coronavirus disease, Niantic will provide people with more ways to earn Pokecoins while playing in one place. In the coming time, Niantic will reward players with Pokecoins, for activities besides defending Gyms.

Initially, this feature will be rolled out for trainers in Australia. It will gradually roll for all trainers after the testing phase. But in order to balance this new method of earning Pokecoins. The number of PokéCoins earned from defending Gyms will be reduced from six per hour to two.
