Can you believe it is the 6th anniversary of Pokémon GO?! We can’t either! This year we have a special six themed anniversary event, which includes a special emphasis on fan favourite Charizard, which is #006 in the Pokédex. We have event themed tasks, a Battle Weekend, Timed Research, and more to look forward to.

With GO Fest Berlin, it looks like there might be a special Ultra Unlock version of this event to be unlocked if trainers achieve their missions this weekend. Hype!
