The build-up to Pokémon Go Fest 2024 is almost complete, with one final week of events now on the schedule before the World of Wonders season wraps up and we get to start riding the next wave of content in June.
From May 20 to 26, two different Pokémon Go events will run. Both will start later in the week, with one being an Incense Day event focusing on Ferroseed and Pokémon that match its type. Until then, you will want to focus on various pieces of ongoing Research and activations outside of the main schedule. Here’s an overview of every ongoing, upcoming, and other content you can take part in this week in Pokémon Go.

Community Corner: What you need to know
This is the final week of content before Pokémon Go Fest 2024 begins with its first of three in-person events.
Go Fest 2024: Sendai runs from May 30 to June 2, with the next season of content kicking off right in the middle of it on June 1. Overall, Go Fest 2024 will introduce Necrozma and let you fuse your captured Necrozma with Solgaleo or Lunala to get Dusk Mane Necrozma or Dawn Wings Necrozma, though not until Go Fest 2024: Global in July, along with Marshadow as this year’s Masterwork Research Mythcial.
You can take advantage of various Pokémon Go promo codes and Amazon Prime Gaming Pokémon Go bundles during this period too.
