Trainers,

Kanto Week has been officially announced, although the announced is still in the Pokemon Go Japanese website only, we can see some of the details outlining the event (with the help of google translate):

  1. The event will start from April 10th and will run till April 16th for UTC (11th to 16th in Japan and other later timezones), most likely starting at 1 pm PDT.
  2. Kanto starters (Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle) will have increased spawn rate (High Possibility of Shinies).
  3. Double transfer and catch candy (Guessing the community day is near *_* Mareep, Mareep!)
  4. Snorlax and Aerodactyl will feature in raids.
  5. Special boxes featuring raid passes.
  6. Also, an encouragement for trainers to get their Kanto Medal to Gold to progress in Mew quests (seeing as this event may be to cater to the newer or returning players).

Here’s the Google translation of the original Japanese text:

Japan Time We will hold a “Can Tho Wake” event from April 11 (Wednesday), April 17 (Tue), 2018!

During the event period, Pokemon, Fushigidane, Lizard Lizard, and Zenigame seem to appear more than usual “Can Tho Region” Pokemon. Also in the raid battle, Pokemon of “Can Tho region” such as Ptera and Cabigon will appear!

In addition, during the period, the number of “Pokemon’s Crow” that you can get when you catch Pokemon or send it to Ph.D. will be doubled as usual. On this occasion, let’s evolve Pokemon of “Can Tho region” more and more!

In the in-game shop, we offer a gift box containing “premium raid pass” for a limited time only.

By all means, on this occasion where many Pokemon of “Can Tho” emerge, let’s challenge to win “Gold medal” gold rank! If the rank of “Canto medal” goes up, research on “special research” pursuing the figure of the phantom Pokemon “Miu” may also proceed!

As we all know Kanto and Johto Shiny sprites confirmed in the network traffic so there is a high chance of Shinies during the Kanto week.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Stating that Shiny sprites are found in the traffic of the game doesn’t mean that you can find them in the wild already. However, it means that Niantic can now release them with the simple flip of a switch.

Thanks to Leeduck for creating an infographic of all the Sprites found in the Network traffic.
