Events celebrate a special occasion and offer rewards for trainers. These events usually last about a week and grant trainers a chance to complete their Pokédex by increasing the chance of acquiring rare Pokémon. Trainers may also see an increase in Pokémon spawns and receive more Items, XP, Stardust, and Candy.
