Dear trainers:

Experience your city in a whole new way! Pokémon GO City Spotlight is a brand new project that will be launched soon. We will guide trainers to embark on an adventure in their own city or neighboring towns and make many beautiful memories with your partner Pokémon!

From 10:00 to 18:00 on November 22, 2020 (Sunday), trainers in the following cities will be able to participate in the first Pokémon GO City Spotlight event.

Tainan, Taiwan

Kyoto, Japan

Auckland, New Zealand

Busan, South Korea

Brilliant content that you can experience for free in the city

The Pokémon GO City Spotlight limited-time survey topic will take you and your partner Pokémon throughout the city.

Take GO Snapshot and complete the investigation, and you will have a chance to meet Pokémon, and get Baofen, Star Sand and Lucky Egg.

Rotate the Poco Supply Station carousel, and you will have the opportunity to get special friendship gift stickers.

Let's scan the Poco Supply Station! Track and compare the progress of your city with other cities through online rankings. The city that has completed the most AR Mapping topics will be able to enjoy the exclusive reward of "reducing the number of incubation kilometers to a quarter" for a weekend!

Special rewards can be obtained after completing the AR Mapping fieldwork project!

Exciting content you can experience after purchasing Pokémon GO City Spotlight tickets

All the great content in the free experience

Special event incense will attract the following Pokémon: Big Rock Snake, Laplace, Unknown Totem (C), North Nose, One-horned Rhinoceros, Toot, Giant Winged Flying Fish, Bobo, Big-nosed Gull, Big Than birds and shaggy dogs. If you are lucky, you may even have a chance to meet the very, very rare Totem of Unknown Different Color (C)!

Explore the city with your partner and complete the special survey of Pokémon GO City Spotlight! After completing the investigation, you can get Baofen, incense, super incubator, 3 lucky eggs, bait module, XP, star sand, and also have a chance to meet Laplace.

Get extra hearts with your partner, up to three hearts per category.

As long as they feed their partners snacks during the event period, they will become "ecstatic"!

Eggs added to the incubator during this period will change the walking distance required to hatch the eggs to a quarter

The effect of the incense will last for two hours
