Tomorrow, on April 20, the big Sustainability Week starts in Pokémon GO. We will show you all the bonuses and reveal what is worth it the most.
When does the event take place? It starts on April 20 at 10:00 AM local time. You can take advantage of the event for 5 days until it ends on April 25 at 8:00 PM.
During this time, certain Pokémon related to the theme of sustainability will appear in the wild. Additionally, there will be a campaign focusing on sustainability.
Sustainability Week brings Bithora and Shiny Unratütox
These are the bonuses: All bonuses are centered around the theme of sustainability. Here’s an overview:
- A sustainability campaign is available (more information about it further down in the article)
- Bithora appears for the first time in Pokémon GO
- The following Pokémon will appear in the wild: Sleima, Rotomurf, Unratütox, and Kastadur
- Shiny Unratütox is available for the first time
- In 5 km eggs, you’ll find: Digda, Tangela, Goldini, Knospi, Kikugi, Finneon, and Rotomurf
- There are exclusive quests and a limited-time research
- A free T-shirt for your avatar will be available
This is included in the sustainability campaign: Something similar was already held in Pokémon GO in 2019. This time, you will be encouraged to do something good for the environment individually. You can clean up trash in your neighborhood or plant a tree. If you share this on your social media channels and use the hashtag #SustainableWithNiantic and tag @NianticLabs, the developers will evaluate your action.
If enough trainers participate, all players worldwide will be rewarded. The levels are as follows:
- 2,500 posts: Level-5 raids will occur more frequently
- 5,000 posts: A box with 3 free remote raid passes will be available in the in-game shop
- 10,000 posts: There will be double XP for catching Pokémon
Which Shinys are available in the event? The highlight is, of course, the new Shiny Unratütox. You can recognize it easily, as the shiny form is significantly darker than the normal Unratütox.
The spawns of Kastadur and Sleima will also be interesting. Especially, Kastadur appears quite rarely outside of events, so you should take the opportunity.
What can the new Pokémon do? Bithora can evolve into Thanathora. Both monsters are of the Rock and Water types. However, they play no significant role in the Pokémon GO meta, as the stats of the monsters are simply too weak. They are more worth it for the Pokédex entry.
What’s next in Pokémon GO? While April is slowly coming to an end, a lot is still happening in Pokémon GO. This includes raid and spotlight hours, but also a friendship day and an event focused on New Pokémon Snap. You can find an overview of all events here:
