The first major event coming to Pokémon Go for the World of Wonders season is the Pokémon Horizons: The Series celebration event. The kickoff event gives players the chance to earn several rewards, including the chance to hatch a Charcadet.
Running from March 5 to 11 at 8pm local time, it’s a chance for players to catch several notable Pokémon appearing during the event, such as Sprigatito, Fuecoco, Quaxly, and Pikachu wearing Cap’s hat. Charcadet is making its debut as Pokémon you can hatch from eggs, alongside its evolved forms, Armarouge and Ceruledge. Also, a new move is coming to Pokémon Go, Volt Tackle. Pokémon Go Battle League players should take note of it to see how fares in the future.

The big release for the Pokémon Horizons: The Series event is Charcadet. All players have a chance to catch this highly sought-after Pokémon from the Paldea region by hatching it from 2km, 5km, or 10km eggs. The eggs Charcadet can hatch from are only those activated during the event, which means you need to visit PokéStops and Gyms between March 5 to 11 for a chance to earn a Charcadet. There are no new Shiny Pokémon for this event, beyond Pikachu wearing a Cap’s hat, but we can expect more during the World of Wonders season.
This event is one of the better chances to acquire Charcadet and evolve it into Ceruledge or Armarouge. Afte the event concludes, Charcadet will only appear in 10km eggs, making it much more difficult to find moving forward.

All Pokémon Go Pokémon Horizons: The Series event bonuses
There are a handful of bonuses going out to all Pokémon Go players during the event. For those attempting to hatch Charcadet, hopefully, these bonuses make it far easier to do, although it all comes down to how rare of a Pokémon it is. Given Niantic’s history with hatching Pokémon from eggs, it might be tougher than it sounds to catch this Pokémon.
- All players receive twice as much XP from hatching eggs
- Team GO Rocket balloons appear more frequently
- There’s a surprise Pokémon encounter for taking snapshots
