Catch Mastery Event: First Bird Pokémon Lands in Pokémon GO!

If you're a Pokémon GO player, you're in for a treat with a lineup of exciting events, including the highly anticipated Catch Mastery event. The game is already buzzing with the Festival of Colors and the Might and Mastery events, and the Catch Mastery event is a special part of the latter.

Catch Mastery Brings the First Birdie for Pokémon GO!

Mark your calendars for March 16th, as the Catch Mastery event will run from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. local time. This event is dedicated to Archen, the First Bird Pokémon. You'll encounter wild spawns of Omanyte and Kabuto, and there's a chance to snag their Shiny versions.

Archen will also be available as a reward from Field Research, with an enhanced chance of encountering its Shiny form. The event offers some fantastic XP bonuses, doubling your XP for Nice Throws or better, and also for Curveball Throws.

Additionally, there's Timed Research focused on catching Rock-types. If you're ready to take on the challenge, you can complete up to 10 sets of tasks, earning a total of 40 Archen encounters.

The Mega Absol Raid Day Is also Happening Soon

Don't miss out on the Mega Absol Raid Day, set for March 23rd from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. local time. Absol is gaining a new Charged Attack called Brutal Swing. Once the event kicks off, Absol will permanently have access to this move, delivering 55 power in Trainer Battles and 65 power in gyms and raids.

From March 22nd at 5:00 p.m. PDT to March 23rd at 8:00 p.m. PDT, the Remote Raid Pass limit will increase to 20. You can also collect up to five additional free Raid Passes by spinning Gym Photo Discs, giving you a total of six for the day.
