Pokémon GO holds events all throughout the year; some of them are themed after holidays, while others are simply special events for the community to enjoy. Pokémon GO Battle Day is the latter; it's a random event full of bonuses and competitions.
Pokémon GO Battle Day: Stardust Surprise will take place from 29th May 2022, from 12 am to 11:59 pm local time. Here's what trainers can expect during the event, including event-specific bonuses and competitions.
