Summer is set to become even more enchanting for Pokémon Go players with three exciting themed events on the horizon: Serene Retreat, Instrumental Wonders, and Phantom Ruins. Each event offers unique Pokémon encounters, enhanced bonuses, and the much-anticipated Gigantamax debut of Rillaboom, Cinderace, and Inteleon.
Kicking off the series, Serene Retreat will run from May 30th to June 3rd. This event promises a tranquil experience with increased wild appearances of Pokémon like Komala, Cutiefly, and Hatenna. Keep an eye out for Shiny Chimecho and Snorlax, which may grace you with their presence. Egg hatching during this period will reward you with Chingling and Spritzee, and the highlight is the debut of Gigantamax Rillaboom in six-star Max Battles. Ticket holders will enjoy Hatch Stardust bonuses and access to a special Timed Research path, which includes encounters with Shiny Munna and two Super Incubators.
Following closely, Instrumental Wonders, from June 7th to 11th, brings a musical flair to the game. Electric and metallic Pokémon such as Golett, Tadbulb, and Ferroseed will be more common. You might encounter Falinks and Beldum in the wild or in raids, with improved shiny odds for Ferroseed and Falinks. This event adds a unique rhythm to your Pokémon Go adventures.
Wrapping up the series, Phantom Ruins, scheduled from June 14th to 18th, invites players into a world of mystery with shadowy and ancient Pokémon. Expect to see Drilbur, Skorupi, and Phantump roaming around, while using Incense can attract rarer Pokémon like Greavard and Rufflet. The star of this event is Gigantamax Inteleon, featured in six-star Max Battles. Additionally, enjoy event-wide bonuses such as double XP and enhanced incense effects.
Event tickets are available for $1.99 through the Pokémon Go Web Store, with Ultra Ticket Boxes offering five bonus Ultra Balls. Each event's Timed Research path provides themed tasks and exclusive encounters, but remember, these rewards are time-limited and will disappear once the event concludes.
