With everyone being home a lot more these days, Niantic has been trying their best to ensure Pokemon GO players would still be able to be the very best. That said, the devs have revealed a new Spring 2020 event, and it is set to begin next week.

The Spring event for Pokemon GO is set to kick off on April 9th and last for a week, allowing players plenty of time to catch all of the Pokemon wearing various Spring-related items, complete event-exclusive tasks, and much more. “Spring has sprung for those of you in the northern hemisphere, and what better way to celebrate than with a springtime event,” reads the game’s website. “Buneary joins the celebration by wearing a flower crown, while egg- and spring-themed Pokémon are appearing more often in the wild! Pokémon Eggs just got eggs-tra special too, as Pichu and Togepi with flower crowns will be hatching from them.”

In addition to this, Eggs that are placed in Incubators will still receive the 1/2 Hatch Distance bonus throughout the Pokemon GO event. For the full details, check out the list below:
