When is the start and end? Adventure Week begins on Thursday, July 27, 2023 at 10:00 AM. It runs until Wednesday, August 2, 2023 at 8:00 PM. The times correspond to the local time.
New Pokémon: For the first time, you can encounter Mega Tyranitar in Pokémon GO. It will appear during the event timer in Mega Raids and will be one of the best attackers in Pokémon GO. With luck, you might encounter a Shiny Tyranitar after the battle.
New Shinies: If you’re lucky, you can encounter Shiny Balgoras and Amarino for the first time in Pokémon GO. If you hatch Balgoras and Amarino during the event, they have a higher Shiny chance than when caught in the wild.
Bonuses: The following bonuses are available during the event:
- Double XP for spinning PokéStops
- 5 times XP for the very first spin of a PokéStop
- Eggs placed in incubators during the event require only half the distance to hatch
- There should be a polar light surprise in the sky for you
Free and Paid Research
What free research is there? During the event, you can expect two Timed Researches
. One of them is free and offers you two different paths: One path for “Exploring” and one path for “Researching”. You must complete the tasks by the end of the event, otherwise the research will be gone.
What paid research is there? For the price of $2 (about €2.50), you can purchase a ticket starting from the event’s beginning that unlocks Timed Research. Upon completion, you will be rewarded with two incubators and one Super Incubator. This research also ends with the end of the event, so you must complete it on time.
Collector Challenge: If you catch all the Pokémon from the Collector Challenge, you will receive Stardust and may encounter Balgoras and Amarino.
