Today, on January 31st, a Rocket event with Voltoball is happening in Pokémon GO. The last hours of the power plant event are active before the Lunar New Year event starts tomorrow.
What kind of event is this? Niantic surprisingly announced that an event is taking place on January 31st. It revolves around the new Hisuian Voltoball, which you can catch in the game since Sunday. Today, Team GO Rocket is out and about with many Voltoball in their teams.
We will show you what is happening today and what to expect in the coming days.
Rocket Event with Voltoball
When does it run? The start was on January 31, 2022, at 00:00 local time. The event is active all day long and ends at 23:59.
What bonuses are there? All grunts of Team GO Rocket fight exclusively with Crypto-Voltoball. The encounters are quite easy because of this, and you can win the fights in a short time.
This change only applies to the grunts. The Rocket bosses continue to fight with their usual Pokémon. This is your chance to collect Voltoball candies or catch Crypto-Voltoball for your Pokémon collection.
Additionally, the last hours of the power plant event are ongoing.
What’s next in Pokémon GO?
This is what happens next: On February 1st, the Lunar New Year event starts in Pokémon GO. Exact details about the event are still missing, but Niantic has already assured that Hisuian Voltoball will continue to appear during the Lunar New Year.
In addition, Pokémon that have been appearing more frequently since the start of the power plant event will continue to be part of the spawns in the wild.
Note: Currently, you cannot evolve Hisuian Voltoball yet.
In the coming days, many more events such as Spotlight Hours, Raid Hours, new raid bosses, and themed events are planned. We will show you in our overview all events in February 2022 in Pokémon GO.
