Pokémon GO enthusiasts, get ready for an exciting lineup of events that are set to enhance your gaming experience! From the vibrant Festival of Colors to the strategic Might and Mastery event, the Catch Mastery event is a highlight you won't want to miss.

Catch Mastery Brings the First Birdie for Pokémon GO!

Mark your calendars for March 16th, as the Catch Mastery event will take place from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. local time. This event shines the spotlight on Archen, the First Bird Pokémon. You'll have the chance to encounter Archen through Field Research rewards, with an increased opportunity to catch its Shiny variant. Alongside Archen, expect to see more wild spawns of Omanyte and Kabuto, and keep your eyes peeled for their Shiny versions as well.

The event sweetens the deal with XP bonuses, doubling your XP for Nice Throws or better, and for Curveball Throws. Additionally, there's Timed Research focused on catching Rock-type Pokémon. If you're up for the challenge, you can complete up to 10 sets of tasks, resulting in a total of 40 Archen encounters.

The Mega Absol Raid Day Is Also Happening Soon

Following closely, the Mega Absol Raid Day is scheduled for March 23rd, running from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. local time. This event introduces a new Charged Attack for Absol named Brutal Swing. Once the event kicks off, Absol will permanently have access to this move, delivering 55 power in Trainer Battles and a robust 65 power in gyms and raids.

To make the most of this event, from March 22nd at 5:00 p.m. PDT until March 23rd at 8:00 p.m. PDT, the Remote Raid Pass limit will be temporarily increased to 20. Additionally, you can obtain up to five extra free Raid Passes from spinning Gym Photo Discs, allowing you a total of six for the day.
