Posted on November 16, 2020 by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Mobile, News
Pokemon GO is celebrating its new Pokemon Home connectivity with a special event. It features Shiny Meltan and Shiny Slowpoke, research tasks, a CP boost for Mega Pidgeot, and more.
Below are the full event details:
In celebration of Pokémon GO’s integration with Pokémon HOME, a special event will be taking place soon! Activate a Mystery Box during the event, and you might encounter a Shiny Meltan. There’s also plenty of research to enjoy – from Timed Research that rewards Pidgeot Mega Energy to Field Research tasks that lead to encounters with Slowpoke and others! In addition, Mega Pidgeot will receive a CP boost during the event period, so if you haven’t Mega Evolved one yet, this might be a good time to do so.
