A leak reveals a Fire and Ice event for Pokémon GO, which is allegedly supposed to start in June. More Charmander and Articuno are to be expected for Trainers.
It is likely that the next big event in Pokémon GO will take place on June 13. As a leak now reveals, the Fire and Ice event is supposed to start on that day to celebrate the beginning of summer and winter.
We explicitly point out at this point that this is not a confirmed event, but rather a leak. Even if the source of the leak has accurately predicted other events, you should take this information with caution and not rely on it.
Fire and Ice Event in Pokémon GO
Apparently, the Fire and Ice event in Pokémon GO is supposed to be officially announced soon. At least that’s what the source that provided this information to PokémonGOHub says. We have also thought about a Fire event for the beginning of summer.
The leaked announcement states that the event will start on June 13 and will be active for a week until June 20. During this time, there will be increased encounters with Fire and Ice Pokémon in the wild. Additionally, there will be extra experience for special ball throws like the curveball and for eggs that hatch. As a discount in the shop, lucky eggs are supposed to be available for half the usual price.
According to the leak, the following Pokémon are supposed to appear more frequently:
- Charmander
- Cyndaquil
- Houndour
- Herdier
- Rapidash
- Spheal
- Vulpix
- Sneasel
- Magmar
- Articuno
The alleged message for Trainers includes the following information:
Trainers, summer is approaching in the northern hemisphere and winter in the southern hemisphere. We couldn’t find a better time to celebrate the Fire and Ice event in Pokémon GO with you.
Starting June 13 at 1 PM PDT (approximately 10:00 PM German time) until June 20 at 1 PM PDT (approximately 10:00 PM German time), Trainers around the world will find more Pokémon like Charmander, Cyndaquil, Houndour, Herdier, Rapidash, Spheal, Vulpix, and their evolutions. You can also find Sneasel, Magmar, Articuno, and other Fire and Ice types during the event.
During the event time, you will receive more experience points for special throw bonuses like “Nice Throw”, curveballs, or catches on the first throw. As you walk through the streets and catch Pokémon, you will also gain more experience for hatching eggs.
To make the most of these bonuses, there are lucky eggs with a 50% discount in the shop.
Event for global events conceivable
An event to celebrate the beginning of summer and winter would fit with past events from Niantic. In Pokémon GO, major events like Halloween, Christmas, or Easter are celebrated and are aimed at a wide audience of players.
A Pentecost event in Pokémon GO would not typically be on the developers’ agenda because Pentecost does not hold the same significance in other parts of the world as it does here in Europe.
We’d like to emphasize again that this event is not officially confirmed!
