Giovanni returns with a Shadow Regice in Pokémon Go
IT’S another jam-packed week in Pokémon Go, with three events taking place.
Whether you want to catch the elemental monkeys, or take down Giovanni there’s something for everyone.
A Pokémon will have a shiny debut, and a popular starter is the focus of Spotlight Hour.
Here’s everything that’s happening in Pokémon Go from March 20 to March 26.
Litten takes the spotlight
This week’s Spotlight Hour will take place on Tuesday, March 21, 2023, from 6pm local time.
Litten will appear more commonly during Spotlight Hour, taking over from another popular starter Rowlett.

Litten is a three-stage evolution, making this the perfect opportunity to get the fearsome Incineroar.
You’ll also earn double Stardust for any Pokémon you evolve during this hour, even if it’s not Litten or Torracat.
An Everyday Hero and Team Rocket Takeover begins
These events will start on Tuesday, March 21, 2023, at 10am local time, and end on Wednesday, March 29, 2023, at 8pm local time.
As part of the event, Pansear, Pansage, and Panpour will be available globally.

Shiny Meltan is also being introduced, but you will still have to transfer Pokémon to Pokémon Home in order to try to get one.
The Pokémon that Ditto can transform into are also changing so keep an eye out.
Most importantly, Giovanni is back, and this time he has a fearsome Regice with him.
Make sure you save up your Rocket Radars so that you can take him on.
Incarnate Forme Thundurus storms raids
Raid Hour will take place on Wednesday, March 22, 2023, from 6pm local time.
After two weeks in the top spot, the five-star raids will change from Ho-Oh to Thundurus.
Thundurus is in its Incarnate Forme, and you can’t change the forme currently.
Mega Venusaur will be the target of mega raids taking over from Mega Medicham.
Mountain Cup takes on the Go Battle League
Go Battle League will change on Thursday, March 23, 2023, at 9pm UK time.
The Ultra League remains for another week, but the Psychic Cup will be leaving the League.
It will be replaced by the Mountain Cup with a maximum CP of 1.5k.
The Mountain Cup will only allow Ice-, Rock-, Ground-, and Steel-types to enter.
There is only one exclusion for this cup, one of the best starters of all time, Swampert.
Go Battle Day will feature Palmer
The Community Day will take place on Saturday, March 25, 2023, all day.
There will be special timed research on this day with rewards based around participating in the Go Battle League.
The rewards are based on Palmer, the leader of the Battle Frontier in Generation 4.
The Battle Frontier is one of the hardest challenges in Pokémon, so players will want to take this one on.
