Pokemon GO continues to be one of the most popular smartphone apps today thanks to its accessibility and simplicity. It is this continued support from fans that has allowed developer Niantic to push out more and more updates for the augmented reality game. New monsters, new events and more have kept the monster hunting and catching experience from getting stale.
This week (September 12 to 18) marks a series of new events that players can participate in. Here is the rundown.
Pokemon GO fans have a lot to look forward to this week
1) Test Your Mettle Event (September 16-21)
The new event will take place from 10 A.M. to 8 P.M. local time. It seemingly allows players to battle a Steel-Type Pokemon. Concrete details have not yet been confirmed, but it is apparently a monster with a Mega Evolution. Perhaps Mega Aggron then? Or could it be a previous GO legendary, like Melmetal?
2) Roggenrola September 2022 Community Day (September 18)
Takes place from 2-5 PM local time. Event bonuses include:
- Evolve Boldore (Roggenrola's Evolution) during the event or up to five hours afterwards to get a Gigalith that knows the Charge Attack "Meteor Beam"
