The latest Pokémon Go event will take place from Thursday, September 26 to Tuesday, October 1 at 4 p.m. EDT and include more ways to get region-exclusive Pokémon.
Region-exclusive Pokémon will now hatch from 5km Eggs from now on. However, the Pokémon species that has a chance to hatch will only be from the region they are assigned to. For example, Kangaskhan will only hatch from 5km Eggs when it’s obtained in Australia and New Zealand.
While trainers can enjoy more experience from PokeStops and trades that cost less Stardust, new research tasks have been added to Pokémon Go for this event only. If you want to learn more, keep reading.
