Pokemon Go always has a fun way of celebrating things, and this time they are bringing back the Water Festival.
The event called Water Festival will begin on May 12th, 2022, at 10:00 a.m. and end on May 20th, 2022, at 8:00 p.m. local time. During those few days, there will be many debuts of Pokemon such as Lapras wearing a scarf, Dewpider and Araquanid. However, the most important debut during the Water Festival is the guardian deity of Poni Island named Tapu Fini. Last but not least, we will get a new Shiny version of the Pokemon named Binacle.
The Season of Alola Special Research: Poni Island Special Research will be available starting May 10th, 2022, at 10:00 a.m. local time. From May 11th, Trainers will get a new Global Challenge, where the goal is to catch 600,000,000 Water-type Pokemon until May 21st, 2022, at 1:00 a.m. and if that goal is completed, a bonus of 2x Candy for catching Pokemon will be activated. There will also be a Timed Research with 50 Gyarados Mega Energy, 1,000 XP, 1,000 Stardust and encounters with Lapras wearing a scarf and Dewpider as rewards.
