New event gives you 5 days to catch a rare Shiny

The color festival returns to Pokémon Go. There is a new Shiny, and master painter coloragle is again at the start.

When does the color festival run? The Color Festival 2025 starts on March 13th at 10:00 a.m. The end is on March 17th at 8:00 p.m. So it runs from Thursday to Monday and you have a long weekend to use the bonuses.

What is the highlight of the color festival? Basically there are two, because if you are on Shiny hunt, you have two interesting options here.

On the one hand, Shiny-Maragle returns. This is only available in limited periods of time, for example at the color festival. As soon as the event is rum, the dazzling painter Pokémon no longer appears. So you should use the 5 days. As always, you can only find coloragle via the snapshot feature.

On the other hand, there is a debut: the Pokémon Knirfish also appears for the first time in the Shiny variant in Pokémon Go. This can appear in the wilderness, but as always you need good luck to meet Shiny.

But there are more bonuses in the event that we list below.
