The Fire and Ice event (Solstice) in Pokémon GO ends today if everything goes according to plan.
Since last week, trainers in Pokémon GO can take advantage of various bonuses related to the Fire and Ice event. For example, there are more Pokémon of the mentioned monster types, higher experience points for various actions in the game, and discounts on Lucky Eggs in the shop.
If everything goes according to plan, the event will end today. However, the current login issues might cause an extension of the event.
Extension: Fire and Ice Event has been extended by 24 hours
Update 06/20 11:00 PM – The Fire and Ice Event has officially been extended by 24 hours and will now end on Wednesday, June 21 at 10:00 PM German time.
Pokémon GO Event – End or Extension?
Last Tuesday, on June 13, the Fire and Ice event in Pokémon GO, also known to players as Solstice, began. During the event, you can find more Fire and Ice Pokémon, earn more experience points for good throws and hatched Pokémon, and buy Lucky Eggs at a 50% discount in the shop.
However, the event is only officially active for a few more hours. The event was scheduled from June 13 at 10:00 PM German time until June 20 at 10:00 PM German time. Accordingly, it officially ends tonight.
Since last night, trainers have been struggling with login issues, particularly affecting PTC connections. Login issues in the past have already led to events being active longer than originally planned. Niantic likely wanted to compensate players for the problems.
Due to the current problems, there could also be an extension for this event. But that is not officially confirmed, and is only a speculation from some trainers in the community. We will find out ourselves if the bonuses in the game are still active around 10:00 PM, or if the event really ends as planned. As already suspected, Niantic has now extended the event. More information is available in the update above.
