This Week in Pokémon GO: 22-28 April 2024

Dive into an action-packed week in Pokémon GO starting April 22nd! We are in the second month of the Season of World of Wonders and have a busy week ahead.

Sustainability Week is here, with special 2km Eggs.

Cleffa Hatch Day brings with it more 2km eggs, and an increased chance of encountering shiny Cleffa!

At the start of each month in the World of Wonders season, Trainers will be able to purchase a new ticketed experience for the Wonder Ticket that includes bonuses and Timed Research, and the introduction of Poipole into Pokémon GO.

But that’s not all – battle enthusiasts can gear up for the GO Battle League Season 18, while raiders prepare for epic confrontations with Tapu Bulu, swapping with Registeel mid-week, and Mega Heracross in Mega Raids, followed by Mega Aggron!

And keep your eyes peeled for the elusive Shiny Shadow Entei! There’s a plethora of adventures waiting, so trainers, gear up and set out!
