What are Pokemon GO events?

Pokemon GO Events are celebrations related to special occasions and holidays that can be in-game or both in-game and real-world themed. They can last from a few hours to several weeks.

Since the worldwide release of the GO Beyond update on Nov. 30, 2020, Pokémon GO has implemented seasons for in-game events. These seasons reflect the changing seasons in the real world, with winter, spring, summer, and autumn rotating every three months. With each new season, significant changes are introduced to the game.

During events, trainers can receive temporary bonuses and perks such as multiplied Stardust, Candy, and XP for actions such as hatching, catching, transferring, evolving, and battling.
