Niantic is continuing to announce new events for Pokémon GO. Read on below to learn more:
Celebrate six years of Pokémon GO during the Anniversary Event and Battle Weekend!
Trainers,
It’s time to celebrate Pokémon GO and party like it’s 2016! To help kick this anniversary into high gear, we’re having a sensational six-themed celebration—including a special emphasis on Charizard, which is #006 in the Pokedéx. With event-themed Field Research, Timed Research, and a Battle Weekend taking place, there’ll be plenty of fun for Trainers everywhere to enjoy!
What’s more, our intel suggests there may be components to this event that will only be revealed after certain Ultra Unlock conditions are met. Could Pokémon GO Fest: Berlin have something to do with this?
Tickets are still available for Pokémon GO Fest: Berlin, Pokémon GO Fest: Seattle, and Pokémon GO Fest: Sapporo. Stay tuned for more details on the global Finale event that will take place on August 27!
UPDATE: Congratulations, Trainers! Thanks to your efforts during Pokémon GO Fest: Berlin, you’ve earned Ultra Unlock bonuses for two upcoming events— Ultra Unlock: Anniversary Event and Ultra Unlock: Battle Weekend!
Get ready to celebrate even harder with more bonuses and Pokémon appearing!

Save Shadow Latios!
Giovanni doesn’t do anything halfway. After Trainers around the world saved Shadow Latias, the Team GO Rocket boss just had to get his hands on Shadow Latios—and now it needs your help! Get ready to face off against Giovanni and rescue Shadow Latios!
Shadow Pokémon
Team GO Rocket Grunts—as well as their leaders, Sierra, Cliff, and Arlo—are also using different Shadow Pokémon. Help Spark, Blanche, and Candela overcome their adversaries and rescue the Shadow Pokémon! If you’re lucky, you may encounter different Shiny Shadow Pokémon than normal, too!
In addition, Team GO Rocket has also turned the following Pokémon into Shadow Pokémon. Defeat Team GO Rocket Grunts to save them!
