This event, Kanto Week, runs until April 17th and has Kanto Pokémon including Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle, Pikachu & more appear in greater numbers than usual and Snorlax & Aerodactyl return as Raid Bosses. During this, all Pokémon Candy you receive when Transferring Pokémon or capturing Pokémon will be doubled. In addition to this, Special Boxes will go on sale including bundles on Premium Raid Passes.
