Which events are worth it in May 2024?
- Ultra Space Wonders: Here it will likely be about the Ultra Beasts and the debut of Kopplosio and Muramura. Although these are regional monsters, they should still be an exciting target for all trainers. The list of Ultra Beasts is almost complete – only the evolution of Venicro and the debut of Necrozma at the GO Fest. are still missing.
- Community Day: Is always an important date, but it is still unclear which monster will come. What is certain is that you will get a good shiny chance and a decent bonus.
- Diancie: Starting May 1, there will be research about Diancie. If you don’t have it yet, you can look forward to a new Pokédex entry and a strong attacker. If you already have it, you will receive candies for strengthening.
As soon as more details about the events are known, we will keep you updated! By the way: For some time now, you can also get the new Pokémon Schligda in Pokémon GO – how to get it, you can find out here.
