This Week in Pokémon GO: 26 February – 3 March 2024

Dive into an action-packed week in Pokémon GO starting February 26th! We end the Season of Timeless Travels, and learn more about the Hisui region. As March begins, so does a new season of Pokémon GO!

It’s end of the February, and we don’t yet have information for the new season, or March events, but the announcement will come any time soon! Keep an eye out on our socials for the updates.

Spotlight Hour is a big one this week, with double transfer candy and a chance at Rare Candy XL for transferring Pokémon, so hold off on clearing out your Sinnoh Tour catches until Spotlight Hour! UPDATE – NianticHelp just tweeted that this was a mistake and they meant at a chance of increased Candy XL. Sigh.

Pikachu Air Adventures head to Indonesia for a weekend long event, with a special costume Pikachu.

At the start of each month in the Season of Timeless Travels, Trainers will be able to purchase a new ticketed experience for the Egg-spedition ticket that includes bonuses and Timed Research.

But that’s not all – battle enthusiasts can gear up for the GO Battle League Season 17, while raiders prepare for epic confrontations with Heatran and Cresselia in five-star raids, and Mega Garchomp in Mega Raids!

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