Join the Celebration: Pokémon GO Celebrates 8 Years with Exciting Updates!

Pokémon GO is celebrating its 8th Anniversary with a week-long extravaganza starting Friday, June 28th at 10:00 a.m. and concluding Wednesday, July 3rd at 8:00 p.m. Get ready for exciting new Pokémon debuts, boosted event bonuses, and enhanced raid and trading opportunities.

Here's a glimpse of the festivities:

Prepare to encounter Pokémon in celebratory attire! Grimer and Muk will be sporting party hats, and Shiny Grimer will make a rare appearance. Plus, Meltan's shiny form returns when using the Mystery Box during the event.

Friendship levels will increase rapidly through gift opening, trading, and battling, leading to a higher chance of becoming Lucky Friends and acquiring Lucky Pokémon in trades. Spin PokéStops with Golden Lure Modules for a chance to find 8 or even 88 Gimmighoul Coins.

Throughout the week, special bonuses are in effect: Half Egg Hatch Distance (June 28th-29th), Double XP for catching Pokémon (June 30th-July 1st), and Double Stardust for catches (July 2nd-3rd).

One-star raids offer an increased chance of encountering shiny, festively-dressed Pokémon. Complete event-themed field research tasks to encounter partner Pokémon like Bulbasaur, Cyndaquil, and Mudkip, and earn Mega Energy for Venusaur, Charizard, Blastoise, Sceptile, Blaziken, and Swampert.

Timed Research tasks and the Whispers in the Woods Masterwork Research are available for purchase. Visit the official website for a complete list of paid events. Don't forget to check out the adorable stickers and special Anniversary Box in the Pokémon GO web store!
