Themed events are the backbone of Pokémon Go, and the Carnival of Love plays right into that with a focus on colorful Pokémon that dance or have a unique style that fits the vibe. You need to catch nearly all of them to complete a lovely new Collection Challenge.

Of the nine boosted wild spawns, catch six Pokémon and then evolve three to finish the Collection Challenge. It will only be available from the event’s start on Feb. 13 to its end on Feb. 15 at 8pm local time. That is also the only chance you will have to complete the Carnival of Love Timed Research, which you need to pay for, so take advantage of the rewards both pieces of content provide—along with the event bonuses and featured content
