This weekend is a massive one for Pokemon Go players, not only there is there the standard Pokemon Go Community day (which is Sunday this time) but also a different special Pokemon to collect, a Shiny Legendary and bonuses and boosts from last week’s event in Germany. If you’ve been sitting on a level for a while, this is the weekend to get a boost.
There’s a lot of Pokemon Go happening this weekend, some of it has already started but for a couple of hours on both Saturday and Sunday, you’ll want to be out there. Here’s whats on;
Saturday 7/7 (Articuno Day)
Between the hours below, Articuno will be available in Raid Battles, there is also the possibility that Articuno will be shiny as well. Get out and battle in as many raids as possible (don’t forget that lucky egg!)
