The events inPokemon GOhave been ramped up in the Season of Mischief. Aside from some lulls with Professor Willow’s season-long quest, Niantic has been keeping the in-game events coming for most of the Fall months. Data miners have uncovered some new information inPokemon GOthat points to more events and new items for them coming soon.

The biggest additions in this mining are what looks like incoming questline rewards forcatching and powering up Legendary or Mythical Pokemon. The leaks don’t say what the rewards are, but since these are connected to Legendary and/or Mythical Pokemon, these have to be large XP boosts and rare items like Silver Pinap berries. A new quick move will soon be introduced called “Psychic Fangs.” The text for the Sinnoh Event, Sinnoh Collection Challenge, as well as clothing items have all been updated in the game’s code. The text for all the costumes of the Sinnoh starters as well as clothing items worn by the player characters in the original game has also been added.
The text for theShinx Community Dayhas been also added and there seems to be a new Lure Module that Professor Willow will give out on that day. Given that Shinx is an Electric-type, it can be assumed that the Lure Module will be focused on attracting other Electric-type Pokemon. The Grass, Ice, Steel, and Water types already have their respective lure modules so it’s not a far reach to assume that one may be coming for the Electric-types as well. A Special Lure Box will also come to the game, probably in the store.
The Sinnoh Event starts on November 16 that celebratesPokemon Brilliant Diamondand November 18th forPokemon Shining Pearl. It’s all the same event, but the separation may pertain to version-specific Pokemon.Giovanni’s return during the Season of Mischiefwill also run concurrently during this event.
Pokemon GOis now available for Android and iOS.
