Which events are worth it?
Mark these dates: A large event like the Kanto Tour from February is not currently on the schedule. But remember, that a replacement event has been announced, which will likely start in March.
Until then, there are already three dates worth considering, which we detail here:
Community Day with Dartiri: This event is mainly aimed at trainers who want to gain experience points. Because during Community Day, you will receive triple XP for catching Pokémon. If you combine that with a Lucky Egg, you get six times the XP for it. In addition, you will encounter Dartiri in its Shiny form. So mark March 6 and don’t plan anything from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
The Spotlight Hour with Voltorb: During this hour, you will earn double Stardust for catching Pokémon. Stardust is the most important resource in the game – you can never have enough of it. So take advantage of this event to stock up on your supplies. This runs on March 16 from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM.
If you haven’t caught a Shiny Voltorb yet, you’ll also have the chance during the event.
Landorus in the Therian Form: A hot candidate in the raids of Pokémon GO will be Landorus in the Therian form. This makes it even stronger than Zapdos, but it won’t be a top attacker. The reason for this is the attack Thunderbolt, which doesn’t perform as well. However, if you are looking for Electric attackers for your team, you should complete the raids with Landorus starting March 16.
