If you're a Pokémon GO enthusiast, get ready for a thrilling lineup of events, including the exciting Catch Mastery event. The game is buzzing with the Festival of Colors and the Might and Mastery events, and the Catch Mastery event is a highlight of the latter.

Catch Mastery Brings the First Birdie for Pokémon GO!

Mark your calendars for March 16th, as the Catch Mastery event kicks off from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. local time. This event centers around Archen, the First Bird Pokémon. You'll encounter wild spawns of Omanyte and Kabuto, with the chance to spot their Shiny versions.

Archen isn't just appearing in the wild; it's also a Field Research reward with an enhanced chance of encountering its Shiny form. To sweeten the deal, the event offers double XP for Nice Throws or better, and for Curveball Throws, giving you a fantastic opportunity to level up quickly.

Don't miss out on the 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 closely, the Mega Absol Raid Day is set for March 23rd, running from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. local time. Absol is receiving a new Charged Attack, Brutal Swing, which will be available permanently after the event begins, delivering 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 increase to 20. Additionally, you can collect up to five extra free Raid Passes from spinning Gym Photo Discs, allowing you to have a total of six for the day.
