Pokemon GO Sustainability Week 2024 Boasts a Bunch of Buddy Bonuses
The San Francisco-based developer has now officiallyannouncedthe fourth edition of the event. As is tradition, Sustainability Week 2024 will start on Earth Day and run for five days straight. Its exact start and end times are from April 22 at 10am to April 26 at 8pm, both local times. During this period,buddy mons inPokemon GOwill bring presents and souvenirs with increased frequency, on top of staying on the overworld map for longer after being fed Poffins or Berries. The event will also facilitate the process of developing relationships with one’s buddies by virtue of halving the distance required for earning buddy hearts.
5 Pokemon Will Star in the Event, All With Shiny Chances
Sustainability Week 2024 will also temporarily rotate the contents of somePokemon GOeggs. Specifically, 2km eggs obtained during the upcoming five-day period will have a chance to hatch Combee, Drilbur, Trubbish, Foongus, and Binacle. Foongus will additionally be encounterable in the wild for the duration of the event, while encounters with the other four mons will also be available as rewards for completing limited-time Field Research tasks. All five of these event creatures will have a chance to be shiny.
New Collection Challenges Are Coming to Pokemon GO
The late April promo will also feature a number of themed Collection Challenges, which will reward Stardust and XP. Although Niantic did not elaborate on the matter, its track record indicates that these tasks will be centered on catching certain mons relevant to Earth Day. Only the 2022 edition of Sustainability Week featured this sort of content, having challenged players to catch Cherubi, Grimer, Weepinbell, Gloom, Trubbish, and Grotle. However, that task was encompassed in a single quest, whereas the wording Niantic used in its Sustainability Week 2024 announcement suggests the upcoming event will feature multiple Collection Challenges.
More PokeStop Showcases Are Also on the Horizon
The event will also comprise some limited-timePokeStop Showcases inPokemon GO. These will allow trainers to enter event-themed Pokemon, which are yet to be listed by Niantic but most likely include the aforementioned mon quintet that will be featured in 2km eggs and Field Research tasks. The start of Sustainability Week 2024 will coincide with the release of the “Rediscover Your World” update, which will revamp the game’s encounter screen, map, and background.
