Niantic has announced new events for Pokémon GO. Read on below to learn more:
Event bonuses, a new attack for Incineroar, and a clowder of Litten will have you “feline” fine.
The time is meow for Litten to shine during Pokémon GO’s March 2024 Community Day. On March 16, 2024, from 2:00 to 5:00 p.m. local time, the Fire Cat Pokémon will appear more frequently in the wild. Lucky Trainers might even encounter a Shiny Litten. During the event and up to five hours after it concludes, you can evolve Torracat—Litten’s Evolution—into an Incineroar that knows the Charged Attack Blast Burn. Incineroar will also be able to learn the Dark-type Charged Attack Darkest Lariat, which will become available during the event and remain available afterward.
Make the most of smoldering event bonuses that include the following.
- 3× XP for catching Pokémon
- 2× Candy for catching Pokémon
- 2× chance for Trainers level 31 and up to receive Candy XL for catching Pokémon
- Lure Modules activated during the event will last for three hours
- Incense (excluding Daily Adventure Incense) activated during the event will last for three hours
- One additional Special Trade can be made for a maximum of two for the day (from 2:00 to 10:00 p.m.)
- Trades will require 50% less Stardust (from 2:00 to 10:00 p.m.)
Get fired up for an opportunity to earn Stardust, Great Balls, additional encounters with Litten, and more by completing Field Research tasks. And if you cat get enough Litten, a ticket for the Litten Community Day–exclusive Special Research story will be available in the in-game shop for US$1.00 (or the equivalent pricing tier in your local currency). You can even give the gift of research by purchasing a ticket for a friend who you have a Friendship level of Great Friends or higher with.
Make the most of the Community Day fun with four-star Raid Battles featuring Torracat from 5:00 to 10:00 p.m. After a successful raid, more Litten will appear around the Gym that hosted the raid for 30 minutes. Remote Raid Passes cannot be used to join these four-star raids—they can only be joined with Raid Passes and Premium Battle Passes.
Have a purr-fect Community Day, Trainers!
