Good news trainers! We finally have the details of the next Pokémon GO Tour event. This time, everyone is heading to Johto on February 26, from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., local time. Like the Kanto tour, there’s going to be a free experience along with an exclusive ticketed experience.

For the free experience, here are what trainers can look forward to:

  • Some Pokémon originally discovered in Johto appear in the wild, appear in raids, and hatch from 7-km Eggs.
    • Some Pokémon originally discovered in this region and usually exclusive to certain parts of the world will appear in raids worldwide.
  • Pokémon like Pichu, Cleffa, Igglybuff, and Togepi are going to hatch from 2-km Eggs received by spinning PokéStops.
  • Be able to complete Timed Research related to Trainer Battles.

In-Person Event

It’s worth noting that there’s one more thing to be excited about this upcoming event. There’s an in-person event on February 27 at selected locations. This one is an optional experience, separate from the main Pokémon GO Tour: Johto event. No details have been revealed so far where this in-person event will take place.
