Pokémon GO is turning up the nostalgia dial with its ‘Pokémon 30th Anniversary: All Out’ event, running from March 3 to March 9. This celebration highlights the beloved Kanto region, featuring a plethora of Pokémon encounters and special bonuses.
Event Overview
The event kicks off with a standard format, but it escalates to an ‘All Out’ version starting March 7 at 10 a.m. local time, running until March 9 at 8 p.m. During this period, players can encounter all Kanto Pokémon in the wild, including iconic figures like Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres, while Mewtwo and Mew remain elusive.
Go Pass Rewards
Players can engage with the event through a Go Pass, which offers encounters with various Kanto Pokémon. Notably, reaching rank 80 grants a free encounter with Mewtwo. Additional milestones provide rewards such as doubled catch candy at rank 25 and doubled catch XP at rank 50. Opting for a premium pass triples these bonuses, enhancing the incentive to participate.
Legendary Raids and Spawns
The ‘All Out’ phase introduces legendary Pokémon encounters through Incense, with a chance to catch them if luck is on your side. One-star raids feature Pikachu wearing hats inspired by trainers like Red and Leaf, while five-star raids include a lineup of legendary Pokémon such as Deoxys, Darkrai, and Genesect. Regional Ultra Beasts will also appear, with specific Pokémon tied to their respective regions.
Field Research and Egg Hatches
Field Research tasks are available, rewarding players for catching Pokémon or spinning PokéStops. Tasks range from catching three specific Pokémon to spinning 20 PokéStops for rare items. Additionally, baby Pokémon will hatch from 2 km eggs, although some remain region-locked.
This anniversary event not only celebrates the legacy of Pokémon but also encourages players to dive back into the Kanto experience. With a mix of nostalgia and new challenges, the ‘Pokémon 30th Anniversary’ event is set to engage trainers worldwide.
