Summer is set to sparkle with magic in Pokémon Go as we usher in three enchanting events: Serene Retreat, Instrumental Wonders, and Phantom Ruins. Each event brings a unique flair, featuring special Pokémon encounters, exciting bonuses, and the much-anticipated Gigantamax debuts of Rillaboom, Cinderace, and Inteleon.
Serene Retreat kicks off the festivities from May 30th to June 3rd. This event is all about tranquility and joy, with Pokémon like Komala, Cutiefly, and Hatenna appearing more frequently in the wild. Keep your eyes peeled for the chance to encounter Shiny Chimecho or Snorlax. Hatching Eggs during this time will reward you with Chingling and Spritzee, and you won't want to miss the debut of Gigantamax Rillaboom in six-star Max Battles. Ticket holders will enjoy additional perks such as Hatch Stardust bonuses and a unique Timed Research path, offering encounters with Shiny Munna and two Super Incubators.
Following closely, Instrumental Wonders runs from June 7th to 11th, infusing the game with a musical vibe. Look out for electric and metallic Pokémon such as Golett, Tadbulb, and Ferroseed. You'll have better chances of encountering Falinks and Beldum in the wild or through raids, and the shiny odds for Ferroseed and Falinks will be boosted during this period.
Finally, Phantom Ruins arrives from June 14th to 18th, inviting players into a world of mystery with shadowy and ancient Pokémon. Drilbur, Skorupi, and Phantump will be more prevalent, and using Incense could lead you to encounters with rarer Pokémon like Greavard and Rufflet. The highlight here is the debut of Gigantamax Inteleon in six-star Max Battles. Enjoy the added bonuses of 2x XP and enhanced incense effects throughout the event.
Event tickets are available for $1.99 through the Pokémon Go Web Store, with Ultra Ticket Boxes offering five additional Ultra Balls. Each event's Timed Research path comes with themed tasks and exclusive encounters, but remember, these rewards won't last forever—act quickly before they disappear at the end of each event.
