Pokémon Go ‘Horizons: The Series Celebration’ event guide

Pokémon Go is throwing an event to celebrate the launch of the Pokémon Horizons show in the US from March 5-11.

The event is pretty tame in comparison to other events. There’s no special Timed Research Tasks or anything like that — though there is still the ongoing Wonder Ticket research.

The biggest addition in this event is Charcadet, Armarouge, and Ceruledge. During the event, any 2 km, 5 km, or 10 km eggs you get will have a chance to hatch a Charcadet. After the event ends, it’ll only be in 10 km eggs, so this is the best chance to grab one.

There’s also doubled XP gained for hatching Pokémon and Team Go Rocket balloons will show up more often.

If you take snapshots during the event, you might get photobombed by the anime characters, leading to spawns of Charizard, Pikachu, Sprigatito, and Fuecoco. You can do this up to five times a day.

We list out all the other event perks below for the Pokémon Go and Pokémon Horizons tie-in event.
