Online Time Bonus
Time Bonuses are special encounter bonuses that increase for the duration you remain online within a single session (in other words, when you log out, your time bonus will reset back to 0 and you have to start over again).
The max time bonus you can gain is 20%, and this will stack on the premium encounter bonus if you have one. You can view your time bonus either by clicking on any explore map (it will be at the top) or going to a yard and defeating one wild Pokemon in it.
