Pokémon GO players worldwide have managed to unlock the Silver Challenge rewards tier, unlocking double stardust and even more Pokémon appearing! Roughly an hour ago, Niantic has tweeted the following video, sharing that we are now halfway done with unlocking Farfetch’d worldwide:

Just in time, if you ask us! The event lasts until November 26th, which means we achieved this catch mark just in time to reach the 3B marker before it ends. Double Stardust is a great incentive for everyone, as Stardust is the scarcest resource in Pokémon GO. We are expecting an additional increase in daily Pokémon caught.
Here’s a few additional tips for this reward tier:
- Double Stardust really means double Stardust – unlike previous increased stardust events, it’s really 2x the amount you would usually get.
- Make sure to catch and hatch everything you can – the Dust must flow
- We are on route to unlock 3B, but don’t start slacking just yet – we’re roughly at the minimum required daily speed to hit the marker. Every catch matters, don’t be lulled into believing you can stop yet.
In addition, the game was updated to 0.83.3, a really minor bug fixing update that brought nothing new in the metadata. It’s just bug fixes for niche devices and a number of date formatting issues observed on Android.
It’s basically 0.83.1 with a new date format and some really minor compatibility fixes.
