Chances are you don’t remember, but a year ago Niantic was planning to hold a Pokémon Air Adventures event, which was titled as the event at which Shiny Corsola would debut in Pokémon GO.
Since then, the COVID-19 pandemic happened, and the entire event was rescheduled to a later date.
According to an official announcement posted today, the 2022 Pokémon Air Adventures event makes a return beginning March 19, 2022, with a global collaboration event taking place in May.
Date and Time
Beginning March 19, 2022, Pikachu wearing an Okinawa kariyushi shirt will be appearing in the wild in Okinawa, alongside Corsola.
