In Pokémon GO the Ground Event ends today, on May 2nd. However, the bonuses in the event are so worthwhile that it’s worth playing another round today.
When does the event end exactly? Today, on May 2nd, at 10 PM it will be over. Then the Ground Event ends and the normal spawns return.
That’s why it’s worth it: In the event, there are incredibly rare shinies and a large amount of stardust. So it’s worth taking full advantage of the last day.
That’s why the Ground Event is so worthwhile
These are the bonuses: Currently, you receive double the amount of stardust and candies when you catch event Pokémon. The event Pokémon are everywhere, so the bonuses apply to almost all caught Pokémon.
The bonuses are great: With double stardust, you can always find a reason to go out hunting! Stardust is the most important resource in the game. Therefore, the event is worth it just for that.
That’s why the spawns are so good: Outside of events, there are hardly any Ground Pokémon to catch. Especially Sandshrew is normally a very rare find in the wild. It’s even better that this Pokémon is currently appearing so frequently.
With the event, Diglett in its shiny form has also been introduced. This Pokémon is quite rare even without an event. So if you want to catch rare shinies, you should take advantage of the event today.
The raids are also worth it: Currently, Groudon is in the raids. It is the best Ground Pokémon in the game. Moreover, it can be found as shiny. Therefore, it is worth completing some raids.
In addition to Groudon, there are also more Ground Pokémon in the raids. Many of them can be obtained as shiny.
There are new field research tasks in Pokémon GO! Here are the rewards:
