In Pokémon GO the global challenge was a complete success. Now a Stardust event is starting and soon the Lugia Day.
New event starts today: Starting this evening, the Stardust event in Pokémon GO will run, which players have rightfully earned by completing field research. This event will be active in the game for one week and rewards you with a lot of Stardust when you take advantage of the enhanced features.
Stardust Event – When does it start?
As announced by Niantic on social channels, the Stardust event starts today, on September 3, at 10:00 PM German time. This is the usual event start time that we know from past bonus events.
Tasks completed: To unlock this event, Niantic initiated a global challenge that ran simultaneously with the Safari Zone in Japan. Players completed over 15 million field research tasks last weekend, on September 1 and 2. This collectively unlocked the Stardust event and the Lugia Day.
The Lugia Day is on September 8 – The times are not yet known. However, typical times (from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM) are expected. What to expect on Lugia Day.
Stardust Event Bonuses – Which are active?
The event unlocks the following bonuses for one week for you:
- 3x Stardust for catching Pokémon
- Star Pieces last for one hour
- 2x Stardust for hatching eggs
- 3000 Stardust guaranteed per raid
How long do the bonuses last? You can take advantage of these rewards until September 10 at 10:00 PM. So be active for a week, catch many Pokémon and hatch many eggs. With Stardust, you can perform power-ups, which you need for the Celebi quest. Additionally, Stardust is the currency for trading Pokémon.
With the successful completion of the global challenges, trainers have now also unlocked the Ultra Bonus. It is still unclear what this entails, but there are already some interesting theories circulating about it.
