This event is all about maximizing your rewards. Catching Pokémon will earn you double XP, and Lure Modules will last a full hour, attracting a variety of Pokémon including Diglett, Slowpoke, Shellder, Dunsparce, Cutiefly, and Fomantis. Catching any of these Pokémon will also reward you with an extra 500 Stardust!

Shiny hunting enthusiasts will rejoice! Shiny Diglett and Shiny Dunsparce will appear more frequently in the wild, alongside Nidoran, Diglett, Slowpoke, Shellder, Dunsparce, Remoraid, Mantine, Plusle, Minun, Volbeat, Illumise, Cutiefly, and Fomantis.

Raids offer a diverse range of challenges. One-star raids feature Shellder, Dwebble, and Skrelp (with an increased shiny rate for Skrelp). Three-star raids bring Slowbro, Hippowdon, and the debuting Dhelmise. Five-star raids star Enamorus (Incarnate Forme), while Mega Raids feature the formidable Mega Tyranitar.
