If you're a Pokémon GO enthusiast, you're in for a treat with several exciting events on the horizon. Alongside the ongoing Festival of Colors and the Might and Mastery events, the Catch Mastery event is set to add even more excitement to the game.

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 all about Archen, the First Bird Pokémon. You'll have the chance to encounter Omanyte and Kabuto in the wild, with the possibility of finding their Shiny versions.

Archen will also be available as a Field Research reward, boasting an increased Shiny chance. To make things even better, the event offers enticing 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, leading to a total of 40 Archen encounters.

The Mega Absol Raid Day Is Also Happening Soon

Following the Catch Mastery event, the Mega Absol Raid Day is set for March 23rd, from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. local time. During this event, Absol will gain a new Charged Attack called Brutal Swing. Once the event kicks off, Absol will permanently have access to this move, which delivers 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 opportunity to obtain up to five additional free Raid Passes from spinning Gym Photo Discs, allowing for a total of six passes for the day.
