Pokemon GO adding new feature that helps you catch rare Pokemon

Niantic has announced a new feature for Pokemon GO that will help players catch rare Pokemon. The upcoming feature grants a catch bonus when you earn medals based on catching certain types of Pokemon. These new bonuses will give you a better chance of capturing Pokemon with a related type. For example, your bonuses to catch Fire types such as Charmander, Vulpix and Ponyta increases as you reach a higher tier for the Kindler Medal. “Trainers can work their way to a new tier by catching many Pokémon of the same type,” explains the developer. “If a Pokémon has multiple types, your bonus will be the average of your bonuses for each type. For example, Pidgey is both Normal and Flying type. Your bonus in this case would be the average of your Normal-type and Flying-type bonuses.” This new feature is scheduled to launch soon.
