February is going to be a big month for Pokémon Go, with the introduction of Primal Pokémon, Pokémon Go Tour: Hoenn, and plenty of unrevealed content that will be released during each event. And don’t forget Pokémon Day is happening on Feb. 27, too.

Yeah, the main focus of the month will be Go Tour: Hoenn as it runs an in-person and global event that will introduce a number of new features such as Primal Reversion—meaning Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre are being added to the game for the first time. But that doesn’t mean you won’t get a stacked early content lineup. 

Most of the new content will be tied to Go Tour: Hoenn – Las Vegas and Go Tour: Hoenn – Global, but here is everything you can expect to see from Pokémon Go in February, not including any bonus content added throughout the month.
