Solstice Event celebrates the summer solstice, which takes place on June 20. The days are getting longer in the northern hemisphere and the nights are doing the same in the southern hemisphere, and Pokémon GO is throwing in some new shiny Pokémon: shiny Clefairy!

Stardust lovers should be excited for this event in particular, as double Stardust will be rewarded for Pokémon catches.

Features

Increased spawns of Pokémon associated with the sun and moon

Pokémon associated with the sun and moon—including Clefairy, Sunkern, and more—will be appearing more frequently in the wild, hatching from 5 km Eggs, appearing after completing event-exclusive Field Research tasks, and appearing in raids.

Clefable

If you’re lucky, you might encounter a Shiny Clefairy! Previously, you could get a Shiny Clefairy only by hatching a Shiny Cleffa and evolving it, so this will be the first time you’ll have a chance to encounter Shiny Clefairy in the wild.

Lunatone and Solrock in raids, 5 km Eggs and in the wild

Throughout the event, Lunatone and Solrock will both be appearing in three-star raids and hatching from 5 km Eggs, regardless of your location.

Lunatone and Solrock will be appearing in the wild in different regions. See the schedule below for details on when Lunatone or Solrock will be appearing in the wild near you.

  • From Friday, June 19, at 8:00 a.m. to Saturday, June 20, at 11:59 p.m. local time, Lunatone will appear more frequently in the wild in the eastern hemisphere and Solrock in the western hemisphere.
  • From Sunday, June 21, at 12:00 a.m. to Monday, June 22, at 11:59 p.m. local time, Lunatone and Solrock will be appearing more frequently in the wild everywhere.
