Niantic has announced another new set of events for May, giving us a very full calendar moving forward. From a special research line featuring Snubbul, to another Incense day featuring rotating Water and Dark types, let's get into it!
Snubbul Limited Research

Event Start | Event End |
---|---|
May 9, 2020, 8:00 a.m. local time | May 9, 2020, 10:00 p.m. local time |
A special, limited research line featuring Snubbul is on its way, and this event is stated to have over 50 tasks! During this time, players will have ample chances to catch Snubbul (and maybe even a shiny Snubbul or two!). Note that this line will disappear at the end of the event, so plan to devote some time if you want to finish it!
Water and Dark Incense Day

Event Start | Event End |
---|---|
May 17, 2020, 11:00 a.m. local time | May 17, 2020, 5:00 p.m. local time |
Much like the previous Incense day, this one will have a different type every hour. However, it will rotate between Water and Dark Type Pokemon for the duration.
- 11:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m: Water Type
- 12:00 p.m. - 1:00 p.m: Dark Type
- 1:00 p.m. - 2:00 p.m: Water Type
- 2:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m: Dark Type
- 3:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m: Water Type
- 4:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m: Dark Type
Crack out that incense, and get ready for some fun catches! The lucky Pokemon for Water hours is stated to be Alomomola, and the lucky Pokemon for Dark hours is Scragy!
May is shaping up to be a busy month for Pokemon Go, so let's get ready! As always, you can take a look at our Events hub to see what to expect in the coming days and weeks.
