Hello trainers! A few updates have been pushed and unearthed by the Pokéminers, including a Pokémon Snap tie-in event, some friendship event details, and more! As always, data mined information is subject to change and not endorsed by Niantic in any way.
Let’s dive in!
Pokémon Snap
The New Pokémon Snap is being released on April 30th on the Nintendo Switch. In order to celebrate the release of this long awaited title, Pokémon GO is hosting a tie-in event focused around the Snapshot feature.
It’s a celebration!

There is a quest for every type, I didn’t list them all. It’s interesting that only Hoothoot is mentioned specifically by itself, so it’s likely going to be the featured Pokémon. Perhaps getting its shiny release?
The probable featured Pokémon
Shiny Hoothoot |
Shiny Noctowl |
- Shiny Hoothoot release is not confirmed
This list based on the snapshot quests that were uncovered. Again, the release of shiny hoothoot is speculation only and is not confirmed!
Friendship Day Collection challenge

It looks like we’re getting a friendship day collection challenge.
New Sustainability Week Quest
RESOURCE ID: quest_catch_trubbish_plural

This was added separately to the Snap event quests, and it’s likely going to be part of the Sustainability Week that was already announced.
Pokédex Categories

The earlier discovered Pokédex Categories have been renamed Classifications.
Miscellaneous stuff
RESOURCE ID: quest_wild_bug_types TEXT: More Bug-type Pokémon appearing in the wild RESOURCE ID: quest_wild_dragon_types TEXT: More Dragon-type Pokémon appearing in the wild
There’s one of these for each type. They are listed as quests, however, they look like something you would see in the Today tab… So, that’s interesting.
That’s all for now trainers, stay safe out there!
