If you're a Pokémon GO player, you're in for a treat with a series of exciting events on the horizon. Alongside the ongoing Festival of Colors and Might and Mastery events, the Catch Mastery event is set to add even more excitement to your gameplay.
Catch Mastery Brings the First Birdie for Pokémon GO!
Mark your calendars for March 16th, as the Catch Mastery event kicks off from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. local time. This event centers around Archen, the First Bird Pokémon, offering players a unique opportunity to encounter this fascinating creature. During the event, you'll see increased wild spawns of Omanyte and Kabuto, with the chance to find their Shiny versions.
Archen will also be available as a Field Research reward, with an enhanced chance of encountering its Shiny form. To sweeten the deal, the event offers double XP for Nice Throws or better, and for Curveball Throws, helping you level up faster. Additionally, there's Timed Research focused on catching Rock-type Pokémon. If you're up for the challenge, you can complete up to 10 sets of tasks, leading to a total of 40 Archen encounters.
The Mega Absol Raid Day Is Also Happening Soon
Following the Catch Mastery event, the Mega Absol Raid Day is scheduled for March 23rd, running from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. local time. This event introduces a new Charged Attack for Absol called Brutal Swing. Once the event begins, Absol will permanently have access to this powerful move, which delivers 55 power in Trainer Battles and 65 power in gyms and raids.
To enhance your raiding experience, from March 22nd at 5:00 p.m. PDT to March 23rd at 8:00 p.m. PDT, the Remote Raid Pass limit will be temporarily increased to 20. You'll also have the chance to obtain up to five additional free Raid Passes by spinning Gym Photo Discs, allowing for a total of six passes for the day.
If you haven't yet, be sure to download Pokémon GO from the Google Play Store and join in on the fun.
