When does the anniversary event start? It starts on Friday, June 28, 2024 at 10:00 a.m. It will then run for a total of 6 days, until July 3 at 8:00 p.m. local time.
And you should take advantage of these 6 days because there are changing bonuses that are really worth it.
What is the highlight? In addition to the changing bonuses, this will probably be Shiny Meltan for many.
How do I get Shiny Meltan? Shiny Meltan was last available in March 2023 and returns for its 8th birthday. As always, to get it, you must use the Wonder Box.
