Niantic has outlined some of the upcoming events planned for Pokemon GO.

First up, during the weekends of special live events, the mobile title will be hosting Professor Willow’s Global Challenge. Here players will be tasked with completing Research Tasks, with players given “amazing bonuses” if goals are met.

Pokemon GO is bringing back its Water Festival later today. Starting at 1 PM PT / 4 PM ET / 9 PM in the UK / 10 PM in Europe, Water-type Pokemon will appear more frequently. Some Trainers may even encounter a rare Shiny Shellder for the very first time. Field Research tasks highlighting Water-type Pokemon will be live as well.

During the Water Festival, you’ll be able to earn 3x Stardust for catching Water-type Pokemon. 2 km Eggs will hatch Pokemon such as Totodile, Mudkip, and Corphish as well. For each Egg hatched, you can earn Double Candy and Stardust.

Lastly, Raid Battles will feature powerful Water-type Pokemon, including the return of Kyogre. You may encounter its Shiny form if you prevail while battling the Legendary Pokemon.

The inaugural Pokemon GO Fest did not go as planned. Many issues affected the event, leaving attendees unable to participate in activities.

A year later, Niantic will be paying $1,575,000 stemming from a Pokemon GO Fest lawsuit. Attendees can find information about how to receive payment here.

Niantic will be giving Pokemon GO Fest another try when it returns to Chicago next month. The company says it has learned from last year’s mistakes, and will attempt to avoid similar problems this time around.
