Summer is set to become enchanting with Pokémon Go's lineup of three themed events: Serene Retreat, Instrumental Wonders, and Phantom Ruins. Each event will feature unique Pokémon, increased encounter rates, exciting bonuses, and the much-anticipated Gigantamax debuts of Rillaboom, Cinderace, and Inteleon.
Serene Retreat kicks off the festivities from May 30th to June 3rd, offering a tranquil experience. During this period, you'll encounter more of the peaceful Pokémon like Komala, Cutiefly, and Hatenna in the wild. Keep an eye out for Shiny Chimecho and Snorlax, which may appear if luck is on your side. Hatching Eggs will reward you with Chingling and Spritzee, and the highlight is the debut of Gigantamax Rillaboom in six-star Max Battles. Ticket holders can enjoy Hatch Stardust bonuses and participate in a limited-time Timed Research path that offers chances to encounter Shiny Munna and receive two Super Incubators.
Instrumental Wonders follows from June 7th to 11th, adding a musical flair to your adventures. This event brings electric and metallic Pokémon like Golett, Tadbulb, and Ferroseed into the spotlight. You might encounter Falinks and Beldum in the wild or in raids, with boosted shiny odds for Ferroseed and Falinks.
Phantom Ruins concludes the series from June 14th to 18th, inviting you into a world of mystery with shadowy and ancient Pokémon. Drilbur, Skorupi, and Phantump will be more visible in the wild, while Incense will attract rarer species like Greavard and Rufflet. The star of the show is Gigantamax Inteleon in six-star Max Battles, and you can benefit from bonuses such as 2x 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 comes with themed tasks and exclusive encounters, but remember, these rewards are time-sensitive and will disappear once the event concludes.
