This all coincides with Pokémon GO’s Johto event, which celebrates the release of Pokémon Gold and Silver. This event focuses on Pokémon from the Johto region, each with a shiny version now available. This means some will a shiny version for the first time in the game. In addition, this event includes Special Research tasks and more as these events usually do.
This will be only the second in-person live event Pokémon GO has hosted since the pandemic’s onset. This follows the 2021 Go Fest which resumed after a year hiatus in July. There have been countless in-person events for the augmented reality game that help Niantic continually blur the lines between the game and reality. So it is good to see in-person events becoming the norm again.
