The Light Festival in Pokémon GO is coming up. We’ll show you all the content, bonuses and new monsters you can get.
When is the light festival running? The light festival starts on Tuesday, November 7th, 2023 at 10:00 a.m. and ends on Sunday, November 12th at 8:00 p.m. It is the second major Pokémon GO event in November after “Día de Muertos”.
What kind of event is this? Winter is here, the days are getting shorter and it’s getting darker and darker outside. Pokémon GO apparently wants to counteract this with the Light Festival, because it’s all about glowing Pokémon.
What bonuses are included? The following bonuses apply in the event:
There is also the debut of a new monster and a fresh Shiny. We summarize all content here.
