'Pokemon GO' Events

Niantic and The Pokemon Company are massive on festivities, and they never fail to bring new experiences or celebrate these real-world events with the public. Back in the Halloween season from late October to early November, the game gave a spotlight to a Generation V Unova Pokemon called Zorua, a mischievous shapeshifter.

It also centered on the Team Rocket Takeover event which gave trainers many freebies and experiences available throughout the land.

Now, it is focusing on the love month which takes place every February, and this 2023, Niantic has a lot in store for the public. Valentine's Day 2023 is around the corner, and if you do not have someone to share it with, take your festive spirits to "Pokemon GO," or celebrate it with your special partner or loved ones and get exclusive offers.
