What is special? In January, Niantic is bringing back Masskito, Voltriant, and Schabelle, but they will only appear in the respective regions. However, you can still battle them with remote raids and then catch them. So, choose friends from around the world to increase your chances.
We show you how to find friends worldwide for Pokémon GO in our guide.
But in the coming weeks, the game still has much more content to offer you, with participation worth it. Theme events, spotlight hours, a raid day, and crypto raids.
All events in January 2024 can be found at MeinMMO. Do you already have a favorite among all the bosses that you want to catch multiple times? Share your ideas with us in the comments here.
