It is also the first time the aforementioned Mega Gyarados will be available in raids. This event runs until February 14.
Then, as the Lunar New Year event finishes, the yearly Valentine’s Day one begins. While little has been shared about this event, based on previous years, you can expect a range of pink Pokemon to become more common. Niantic does also tease that some Pokemon will be “making theirPokemon GOdebut”.
Pokemon GO Kanto Tour
Arguably the crown jewel ofPokemon GO’sFebruary events is the Kanto Tour. This ticketed event has a higher cost than usual events but brings a wealth of excitement. Players will pick between Red and Green, just like the original games, and will have the opportunity to catch all Pokemon from the Kanto region in their shiny forms. This includesShiny Mew!
