A New Event is coming probably with the name “Buddy Up” focusing on increasing buddy levels and getting more rewards from your buddy.

These are following event features according to the code extracted:

• Buddy will find you Pokéballs every half hour
• Taking longer for your buddy’s affection to run out, so it will stay on the map longer
• Your buddy will bring you more items and more souvenirs more often
• Easier to get your buddy excited

Abra Community Day and Elite TM’s

Niantic has added more details for the upcoming Abra Community Day.

According to the next text found, Alakazam will receive the Exclusive fighting type move Counter.

It also looks like Niantic is preparing to add Elite Fast TM and Elite Charged TM in the Community Box bundle. It is for the first time we’ll be getting Elite TM’s outside the GO Battle League season rewards.

According to the previous data mine, the Special research had been rescheduled for Saturday, April 25th, 2020. We think the Abra Community Day will be on the same date.

Remote Raid Passes

According to previous data mine, It was discovered that the new Remote Raid Passes will be required to join Remote Raid Battle.

Today some new has been pushed and it suggests that the Remote Raid will be available in the bundle of 1 and 3 in the shop.

Note: This doesn’t mean that the remote raid passes will be available only through the shop. There are possibilities that we might get them by spinning Pokestops.
