So that you do, in fact, catch 'em all, we’ve got the Research tasks explained, as well as what rewards you can expect and when the event begins and ends, so that you don’t miss out.
You wouldn’t want to show up to Pokémon Go Fest 2024 without having it all squared away, would you?
Though, you may have fobbed off Pokémon Go for good, if you aren’t a fan of the update to the game's graphics…
If you don’t mind them, then you best check out the Pokémon Go Sustainability Week event, too, lest you miss out on any extra goodies.
With all that said and done – let’s get to it!
When is Pokémon Go Rediscover Kanto? Start and end times
Pokémon Go Rediscover Kanto begins 22nd April 2024 and runs until 9th May 2024.
That gives players just under three weeks to catch 'em all, which should be plenty of time as there isn’t a huge amount of Special Research tasks to engage in.
