Get charged up for an event emphasizing shockingly powerful Electric-type Pokémon.
Helioptile and Heliolisk make their Pokémon GO debut in a high-voltage event running through February 1, 2022, at 10:00 a.m. local time. Team Instinct Leader Spark is once again assisting Professor Willow with an important research task that calls upon on the power of Electric-type Pokémon to activate another mechanism of the mysterious door. To generate even more excitement, Helioptile and Heliolisk—Electric- and Normal-type Pokémon originally discovered in the Kalos region—will make their Pokémon GO debut.

Power Plant Event
Wednesday, January 19, 2022, at 10:00 a.m. to Tuesday, February 1, 2022, at 10:00 a.m. local time
The Season of Heritage Story Continues!
Spark’s intuition leads him to believe that the final mechanism of the door requires Electric-type Pokémon to power it. Work with Spark to catch Pokémon as he makes progress toward unlocking the final mechanism of the mysterious door located at the historical cave site. In this event inspired by the power plants found in the Kanto and Kalos regions, you’ll be able to catch Pokémon like Magnemite, Voltorb, and Helioptile!
In the shadows, it seems that a nefarious force has also caught wind of the door and the power that lies beyond it…
Catch up on the story so far on the Season of Heritage web page.
