Catch Mastery Event: First Bird Pokémon Lands in Pokémon GO!

If you're a Pokémon GO player, you're in for a treat with the upcoming events, including the exciting Catch Mastery event. The game is already buzzing with the Festival of Colors and the Might and Mastery events, and the Catch Mastery event is a thrilling part of the latter.

Catch Mastery Brings the First Birdie for Pokémon GO!

Mark your calendars for March 16th, as the Catch Mastery event will run from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. local time. This event is all about Archen, the First Bird Pokémon. You'll encounter wild spawns of Omanyte and Kabuto, and there's a chance to find their Shiny versions.

Archen will also be available as a Field Research reward, with an increased chance of encountering its Shiny form. The event offers fantastic XP bonuses, doubling your XP for Nice Throws or better, and also for Curveball Throws.

Additionally, there's Timed Research focused on catching Rock-types. If you're up for the challenge, you can complete up to 10 sets of tasks, which will reward you with a total of 40 Archen encounters.

The Mega Absol Raid Day Is Also Happening Soon

Get ready for the Mega Absol Raid Day on March 23rd, from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. local time. Absol is set to receive a new Charged Attack called Brutal Swing. Once the event kicks off, Absol will permanently have access to this move, which delivers 55 power in Trainer Battles and 65 power in gyms and raids.

From March 22nd at 5:00 p.m. PDT to March 23rd at 8:00 p.m. PDT, the Remote Raid Pass limit will be temporarily increased to 20. You'll also have the opportunity to obtain up to five additional free Raid Passes from spinning Gym Photo Discs, bringing your total to six for the day.
