AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
Pokemon Go is celebrating the launch of Pokemon Pokopia with a week-long event running from March 10 to 16, featuring costumed Ditto debuts, massive XP buffs, and themed research tasks.
Pokemon Go is rolling out a fresh in-game celebration to mark the launch of Pokemon Pokopia. Running from March 10 to March 16, this latest event brings a fun mix of fresh cosmetics and progression buffs to mobile players who log in this week. The headline addition is the debut of two costumed variants of Ditto, featuring a white hat with yellow details and a white cap with blue details. For collectors who chase rare variants, both costumed versions have a chance to appear in their shiny forms, giving you a strong incentive to clear some space in your storage and head outside.
Alongside the wearable-wearing blob, Niantic is handing out major progression perks for active players. You will earn double XP for every Pokestop spin during the week, plus a massive ten times multiplier for your very first spin of the day. The event also introduces a temporary shift in Ditto disguises, meaning the shape-shifter will blend in specifically with the boosted wild spawns active during the celebration. With dedicated Field Research, Timed Research, and Collection Challenges offering encounters with the event-exclusive Ditto variants alongside items like Pokopia stickers, there is plenty to knock out before the timer runs out.
Three-star raids are also getting a refresh for the celebration, featuring specific targets with increased shiny rates for raiders looking to test their teams. Whether you are playing on your daily commute or coordinating with your local community raid group, these week-long events continue to serve as the primary glue for the mobile player base. As reported by Julia Lee over at Polygon, you can check out the complete breakdown of the event perks, tasks, and boosted spawns in the original Polygon guide.
Mile-high XP bonuses and rare costumed variants take center stage in Pokemon Go's latest crossover event celebrating the launch of Pokemon Pokopia.
