In the coming weeks, new events will start in Pokémon GO featuring costumed Pikachu and Corasonn. Some of the events will take place worldwide.
What are these events? The Niantic team announced two new events for March and May. One of them is the “Pokémon Air Adventure” event, which was originally scheduled for summer 2021 but was canceled due to the global travel situation.
We will show you everything we know about the two new dates.
Event in March – Only in Japan
When does it take place? Starting from March 19. The event is expected to last over a year.
What is happening? In some regions of Japan, including Okinawa, wild Pikachu with Kariyushi shirts will spawn. You can also catch them as Shiny. Additionally, Corasonn will spawn in the wild, which you can also catch as Shiny starting from the Johto Tour.
New PokéStops have been built specifically for trainers in Okinawa, featuring manhole covers with Pokémon designs. From these stops, you will receive exclusive postcard designs when you spin them.
Worldwide Air Event in Pokémon GO
When does it take place? From May 3, 2022, to May 8, 2022.
What is happening? This is a collaboration event with the Pokémon Air Adventure and Pokémon GO. You will be able to participate in the Air Adventure worldwide.
The exact event details are still unclear. Niantic plans to share them with the trainers “soon”.
The event will also feature flying Pikachu with various colored balloons, which will again only be found in Okinawa. Additionally, a ticket-required event will take place in Okinawa on May 7 and 8.
How do you like the outlook on the events? Are you excited about it and would you travel all the way to Japan for such an event, or would you rather just attend the worldwide events? How exactly Corasonn will be made available for the event worldwide is still unclear. Currently, it is suspected that it will happen through raids or eggs.
