Summer is set to become enchanting in Pokémon Go with three themed events: Serene Retreat, Instrumental Wonders, and Phantom Ruins, each bringing unique Pokémon, enhanced encounters, and exciting bonuses, including the Gigantamax debuts of Rillaboom, Cinderace, and Inteleon.
Serene Retreat kicks off the series from May 30th to June 3rd, offering a tranquil experience with increased appearances of Pokémon like Komala, Cutiefly, and Hatenna. Keep an eye out for Shiny Chimecho and Snorlax. During this event, hatching Eggs will reward you with Chingling and Spritzee, and you'll witness the debut of Gigantamax Rillaboom in six-star Max Battles. Ticket holders can enjoy Hatch Stardust bonuses and participate in a special Timed Research path, where you might encounter Shiny Munna and receive two Super Incubators.
Following that, Instrumental Wonders runs from June 7th to 11th, infusing the game with a musical flair. You'll encounter electric and metallic Pokémon such as Golett, Tadbulb, and Ferroseed more frequently. Keep an eye out for Falinks and Beldum in the wild or raids, with boosted shiny odds for Ferroseed and Falinks.
Lastly, Phantom Ruins takes place from June 14th to 18th, inviting you to explore with shadowy and ancient Pokémon like Drilbur, Skorupi, and Phantump. Incense will attract rarer Pokémon such as Greavard and Rufflet. Gigantamax Inteleon will make its debut in six-star Max Battles, and you'll benefit from bonuses like 2x XP and extended incense effects.
Event tickets are available for $1.99 through the Pokémon Go Web Store, with Ultra Ticket Boxes offering five bonus Ultra Balls. Each Timed Research path features themed tasks and exclusive encounters, but remember, the rewards are only available during the event period.
