Pokémon Go’s Kanto Celebration brings Mega evolutions and Dynamax Legendary birds

The Kanto Celebration event in Pokémon Go brings classic nostalgia back to the forefront! Running from September 2nd to 7th, this special event highlights the beloved Kanto region, with exclusive Pokémon encounters, special research tasks, and exciting bonuses. Whether you're chasing Shiny versions of Kanto favourites or aiming for powerful Dynamax Legendary Birds, there’s something for everyone!

Throughout the event, iconic Pokémon like Chansey, Snorlax, and Abra will appear in the wild, alongside a chance to encounter their Shiny forms. In addition, bonuses like guaranteed Candy XL from evolutions, triple Mega Evolution duration, and double XP from PokéStop spins will make your adventure even more rewarding. Evolve your starters into Venusaur, Charizard, or Blastoise, and they’ll come with powerful Community Day moves!

The event’s Timed Research will focus on Kanto's rarest Pokémon, including Farfetch’d, Kangaskhan, Mr. Mime, and Tauros. You’ll have only 24 hours to complete each set of tasks, so be sure to act quickly! Plus, with Field Research tasks offering Mega Energy, encounters, and XP rewards, there's no shortage of ways to power up your Pokémon during the celebration.
