Features & Debuts

Schedule Changes

Events are moving to a far more predictable schedule, with weekend events specifically shifting to Saturdays.

Pokémon GO events are moving away from paid tickets to GO Passes for each event.

Every day now has a dedicated theme:

  • Double-Time Sundays: Make the most of your items with Lure Modules and Incense lasting twice as long each Sunday.
  • Fast-Track Mondays: Get 2x GO Points for both monthly and event GO Passes
  • Max Monday: Power spots refresh more frequently, additional Power Spots will be active on Mondays, and Max Battles will rotate to feature different Dynamax Pokémon.
  • Showcase Tuesday: PokéStop Showcases will be active on Tuesdays, featuring up to 20 different categories.
  • Wednesday Raid Hour: Raid Bosses for five-star raids and Mega Raids will rotate at the start of Wednesday each week. Rounds hours will continue to feature the five-star Raid Boss between 6:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m.
  • Go Battle Thursday: Up to 4x Stardust from win rewards (not including end-of-set rewards). Maximum number of sets will increase from five to 10.
  • Friendship Friday: Up to two Special Trades on Friday, an increased chance of Lucky Trade, up to -10% Stardust cost for trades, two guaranteed Candy XL from trades.

Evolved Pokémon Shiny Upgrade

As part of this event, any evolved Pokémon in the wild can be Shiny. In addition, there's an increased Shiny chance from Raid battles and Raids compared to the wild during the whole event. Additionally, GO Rocket encounters have increased shiny rates. Do note that this only applies to Pokémon that have already had their Shiny debut.

Special Research for Volcanion

The Special Research "Pressure Rising" will be available to all Trainers for free. If you did not get the Volcanion form the 2025 Pokémon GO Fest, then you will get an encounter! Those that already have Volcanion will just get Volcanion Candy instead.
