Everything else you need to know about the Kanto Celebration event in Pokémon Go explained

The Kanto Celebration event in Pokémon Go has a number of bonuses for you to take advantage of – most notably the opportunity to teach certain Pokémon their exclusive Community Day attack.

If you evolve an Ivysaur, Charmeleon, Wartortle, Pichu, Eevee or Dragonair during the event, then the resulting evolution will automatically learn it’s special Community Day attack. For more information about these attacks, check out our dedicated Community Day guide.

Gen 1 Pokémon will also be dominating raids throughout the Kanto Celebration, with Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres and Mewtwo all appearing in five-star raids throughout the event.

Meanwhile, Pokémon from the Kanto region will be appearing more frequently in the wild, which is great for both completing those Pokémon Go Tour: Kanto Collection Challenges and the Kanto Pokédex itself.

The Pokémon appearing more frequently include:

• Bulbasaur
• Charmander
• Squirtle
• Weedle
• Pikachu
• Geodude
• Clefairy
• Psyduck
• Slowpoke
• Gastly
• Voltorb
• Magikarp

If the Gen 1 Pokémon you’re looking for doesn’t appear organically in the wild, then you might have better luck attracting it with Incense. The following Gen 1 Pokémon will can all be found using Incense during the Kanto Celebration:

• Caterpie
• Pidgey
• Spearow
• Poliwag
• Abra
• Seel
• Machop

Finally, Gen 1 Pokémon, along with some baby Pokémon, will be hatching from 5km eggs. These Pokémon include:

• Oddish
• Bellsprout
• Tangela
• Dratini
• Pichu
• Elekid
• Magby

All of these bonuses make the Kanto Celebration the perfect time to fill in any missing entries you might have from the Gen 1 Pokédex!

The Season of Celebration has arrived! With it comes a level cap increase – including the addition of XL Candy, the Legacy 40 Challenge quest and boosts to some XP sources – Platinum Medals, the arrival of Gen 6 Pokémon such as Espurr and changes to the Go Battle League

We’ve recently seen the addition of ‘Strange’ red eggs and new Arlo, Cliff, Sierra andGiovanni line-ups.

Kanto Celebration dates and times in Pokémon Go explained

The Kanto Celebration in Pokémon Go is a limited time event carrying on the celebrations from Pokémon Go Tour: Kanto. Unlike the previous event, however, all of Kanto Celebrations features will be available to every Pokémon Go player.

The Kanto Celebration event, and its timed research quest, will run from Sunday, 21st February at 10am (local time) to Saturday, 27th February at 8pm (local time).

The Collection Challenges continuing on from Pokémon Go Tour: Kanto will, however, be available till Sunday, 28th February at 7:59pm, giving you enough time to finish the challenges if you so wish.

The Kanto Celebration Event timed research quest consists of four steps, which each contain three individual challenges and you’ll be rewarded for each challenge and full step you complete. Since this is a timed research quest, it will vanish once the questline is completed, so you need to complete it before the event ends if you wish to earn all of the rewards.

Hope you enjoy the Kanto Celebration event!
