Overview
- The event runs February 23–27, 2026 in local time, though reports differ on a 12:00 a.m. versus 10:00 a.m. start, so players should confirm timing on Niantic’s official post.
- Each day highlights a past Go Tour region—Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, then Unova—with increased wild encounters that include regional starters, all eligible to be Shiny.
- Four debut Pikachu costumes based on Red, Leaf, Ethan, and Lyra can appear as Shiny, with encounters available in one-star raids as well as Timed and Field Research.
- Raid lineups rotate by day, featuring pairings such as Articuno/Zapdos/Moltres, Shadow Lugia and Shadow Ho‑Oh, Primal Kyogre and Primal Groudon, Origin Forme Dialga and Palkia, and Reshiram or Zekrom alongside Black or White Kyurem paths.
- Bonuses include half egg hatch distance, a Remote Raid Pass limit raised to 30 during the event week, no remote limit from February 28 to March 1, and a Go Pass with additional research tasks.
