Adamant Time is a special Pokémon GO event that takes Trainers back in time to where it all began, the Kanto region! We started our Kanto journey in Pokémon GO way back in 2016, and during this event Kanto Pokémon will be spawning more than ever. Adventure with Professor Willow, Party Play, Routes and Showcases, and enjoy a plethora of Kanto themed goodness!
Date & Time 📅
- Starts Monday, December 11, 2023 at 10:00 AM local time
- Ends Friday, December 15, 2023 at 08:00 PM local time
No need to take a trip back to where it all started in the Kanto region—it appears that the Kanto region has come to us across time and space! The year may not be 2016, but Pokémon originally discovered in the Kanto region are inexplicably roaming the wild in greater numbers than before.
Spend some time researching with Professor Willow, and shine a light on these latest developments! In the meantime, what better way to study these Pokémon than interacting with them in new ways? Party up, explore a Route, and enter your stars in a PokéStop Showcase!
