Niantic is gearing up to host another exciting event in Pokémon GO as part of its Rising Heroes saga — A Valorous Hero. Here's when it's set to start and end.
A Valorous Hero, the upcoming event in Pokémon GO, tasks players with helping out Team Valor Trainer Candela with some research. This event focuses on battling and powering up Pokémon, with a number of vibrant Pokémon appearing more frequently thanks to encounters and Raids.
Mega Pinsir will make its Pokémon GO debut in a Mega Raid, while other Raids will feature the likes of Galarian Ponyta, Druddigon, Hisuian Avalugg and even Tapu Fini during Five-Star Raids.
Players can also look forward to the following bonuses throughout the event:
- 2× Candy for catching Pokémon
- Trainers level 31 and above will have twice the chance to obtain Candy XL from catching Pokémon
But that's not all. Those who complete the event's Special Research tasks featuring the Team Valor leader, Candela, will encounter a Ponyta wearing a Candela-themed accessory.
As always, players will only have a short window in which to experience the event. Here are the key dates and times to keep in mind.
