Now, Pokemon GO is celebrating six years with a special Anniversary Event. If you want the rundown of the Anniversary Event details, keep reading.

Pokemon GO Anniversary Event 2022 Details

In honor of its 6-year birthday, the Pokemon GO 2022 Anniversary Event is focused around the #006 Pokemon in the Pokedex: the fan-favorite Charizard. During the Pokemon GO Anniversary Event, which will take place July 6-12, players will be able to encounter Party Hat Charmeleon, Party Hat Charizard, and Cake Costume Pikachu in the wild. All three of these Pokemon have a chance to be shiny as well.

An update was also given on the Pokemon GO website that due to the effort from fans during Pokemon GO Fest: Berlin, players will now encounter more Pokemon in the wild during the Anniversary event.
