Trainers, Kanto Week has begun! This article will sum up what we know about the event.
AMAZING SALE: The Raid Pass sale has began, and it is amazing! This is one of, if not the, best sales we've ever had! All three boxes are amazing deals. The Special Box is targeted towards player with fewer PokéCoins, the Great Box is a great intermediate deal targeting those who only care about the Raid Passes, and the Ultra Box is the best sale we've ever seen!
SHINY POKÉMON: Well, that was to be expected. No new Shiny Pokémon have been reported out of the massive pool that were added over the weekend.
On behalf of ourselves and the other Pokémon GO fan-run media outlets, we'd like to apologize for hyping the Shiny Pokémon up so much. We never would have expected that we'd receive zero new Shiny Pokémon when more than 100 were added. With that said, we think Niantic owes us at least one new Shiny family. Even if they only added those Shiny sprites to keep us from spoiling future updates, they knew we'd data-mine them, expect them, and be very disappointed when we didn't get them.
RAID BOSSES: Okay, this one's weird. Niantic said that we'd have new Raid Bosses (Snorlax and Aerodactyl were explicitly named), but nobody has reported seeing them since the event started over five hours ago. It appears that Niantic either forgot to add them or a server side glitch is preventing them from hatching from Raid Eggs.
MISCELLANEOUS: Candy rewards are doubled through all methods (excluding Rare Candy), and Kantonian Pokémon are spawning at drastic rates as announced. But there were also some unannounced features. Buddy distance has been halved, and Lure Modules are lasting longer.
Niantic has not confirmed these, so we have no idea exactly how long the Lure Modules are lasting. This is especially interesting, given that Community Day features three-hour Lures. It will be very interesting to see how long Lures will last on the actual day.
Thanks for reading, Trainers. Make sure to stay tuned to this article and our Twitter page for more updates.
UPDATE: The new Raid Bosses have since began to hatch from the Raid Eggs. Check out the Raid Boss Chart in the navigation menu above to learn more.
