What are Pokemon Go events?

Pokemon GO events are special celebrations tied to occasions and holidays, often featuring in-game or real-world themes. They can range from lasting just a few hours to spanning several weeks. Since the release of the GO Beyond update in 2020, the game has implemented seasons that mirror real-world seasons, each bringing significant changes and features.

During these events, trainers can enjoy temporary bonuses such as increased Stardust, Candy, and XP for various in-game actions, including hatching, catching, transferring, evolving, and battling.
