Pokémon Go updates: The Latest
Detective Pikachu event brings new Pokémon and Field Research tasks
Event dates: May 7 – May 17, 2019
To celebrate the release of Detective Pikachu later this week, Pokémon Go will feature a special event until May 17. In it, Pokémon from the movie (including a detective hat-wearing Pikachu) will appear in the wild and in raids. Catching them or any other Pokémon during the event will also net twice the experience as normal.
On top of that, there are themed Field Research tasks, one of which can result in the appearance of a Ditto. Make sure to check them out before the event finishes!

Previous Pokémon Go updates
Legendary Lake Trio Azelf, Uxie, and Mesprit added as rare, regional spawns and raid targets
Event dates: May 2, 2019 – May 27, 2019
We hope you like walks on the beach, because the Legendary Lake Trio Pokémon Azelf, Uxie, and Mesprit have been added to Pokémon Go as rare spawns. True to their Pokémon Diamond and Pokémon Pearl origins, they will only appear near water. Search for them near lakes, rivers, and other large bodies of water.
Niantic also announced that spawns are regional, meaning that only one Legendary Pokémon will appear in each region. Here’s where you can find Azelf, Uxie, and Mesprit:
- Azelf — Americas and Greenland.
- Uxie — Asia-Pacific.
- Mesprit — Europe, Middle East, Africa, India.
On top of that, the three Legendary Pokémon will appear in raid challenges in their respective regions from May 2 to May 27. However, they will continue to spawn in the wild after the event is over. There’s no telling how long they’ll be available, so get out there and start searching!

Pokémon Go event: Shiny Meltan is back for a limited time!
Event dates: April 24 – May 5, 2019
Good news for those of you who weren’t able to grab a shiny Meltan in the February’s Pokémon Go event! Starting April 24, you will have the chance to get a shiny version of the hexagonal mythical Pokémon once again. It is still only available in Mystery Boxes, which are obtained by sending Pokémon to the Nintendo Switch titles Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! or Pokemon: Let’s Go, Eevee!
On top of that, Mystery Boxes are becoming easier to open. Starting April 24 the delay between opening them is being reduced from 7 days to just 3 days, meaning you can open more than twice as many boxes. Even better, the change will persist after the event finishes on May 5!
