Gym rework for May Update??

Water event isn't random it was a celebration of other countries' holiday/events. Stop looking at your US calendar for events this is a global game.

Very American view... I expect a grass-type event for May but that is my opinion. I am American as well, I am just embarrassed by how geo-phobic this post is.

it's arbor day on the 28th grass event?

My opinion is that we should see both, a "small" related biome (maybe a grass or rock event) with probably double dust or candies and a gym rework as an update.

I don't think Niantic should only do one of them, one only thing per month is not enough to keep people engaged, and less even on a mobile game. If they are gonna keep the calendar and make 4 updates per year they should also keep the work of an event per month.

They should never follow the line of event=content update, they are not the same at all.

Actually, May 1st is International Workers' Day and is a big deal in many countries. As in national holiday, nationwide binge drinking, gigantic festivals, ritual riots, ... But it is too close to Easter this year, so I do not expect any PoGo event.

I think you guys overestimate the time an "event" takes to do versus redesigning a battle system. I mean most events are just a few slides in rarity to the same spawn/hatch rates as other mons. So no real time tbh.

Sometime between mother's and father's day would be a great time for an event that would introduce breeding, but I'm not sure if that's something they want to do at the moment.
