Catch Mastery Event: First Bird Pokémon Lands in Pokémon GO!

If you're a Pokémon GO enthusiast, you're in for a treat with the upcoming events, including the exciting Catch Mastery event. The game is already bustling with the Festival of Colors and the Might and Mastery event, with the Catch Mastery event being a special part of the latter.

Catch Mastery Brings the First Birdie for Pokémon GO!

Mark your calendars for March 16th, as the Catch Mastery event kicks off from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. local time. This event is centered around Archen, the First Bird Pokémon. You'll encounter wild spawns of Omanyte and Kabuto, with the possibility of spotting their Shiny versions.

Archen will also be available as a Field Research reward, boasting an increased chance of encountering its Shiny form. The event sweetens the deal with XP bonuses, doubling the XP for Nice Throws or better and Curveball Throws.

Additionally, the event features Timed Research focused on catching Rock-type Pokémon. If you're up for the challenge, you can complete up to 10 sets of tasks, which will reward you with a total of 40 Archen encounters.

The Mega Absol Raid Day Is also Happening Soon

Get ready for the Mega Absol Raid Day on March 23rd, running from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. local time. Absol will gain a new Charged Attack, Brutal Swing, which will be a permanent addition to its move set. This move will deal 55 power in Trainer Battles and 65 power in gyms and raids.

From March 22nd at 5:00 p.m. PDT to March 23rd at 8:00 p.m. PDT, the Remote Raid Pass limit will be temporarily increased to 20. You'll also have the chance to collect up to five additional free Raid Passes from spinning Gym Photo Discs, allowing you a total of six for the day.

If you haven't yet, be sure to download Pokémon GO from the Google Play Store and join the fun.
