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

If you're a Pokémon GO player, get ready for some exciting events, including the upcoming Catch Mastery event. The game is already buzzing with the Festival of Colors and the Might and Mastery event, with the Catch Mastery event being a 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 celebrates Archen, the First Bird Pokémon. You'll encounter wild spawns of Omanyte and Kabuto, and keep your eyes peeled for their Shiny versions.

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

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

The Mega Absol Raid Day Is also Happening Soon

Don't miss the Mega Absol Raid Day on March 23rd, from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. local time. Absol will gain a new Charged Attack, Brutal Swing. Once the event kicks off, Absol will have permanent 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 be temporarily increased to 20. You'll also have the chance to collect up to five additional free Raid Passes from spinning Gym Photo Discs, totaling six for the day.
