Me personally this has always been an event I found very exciting but this is the third year in a row I can’t play it. In 2021 in had no time, in 2022 I was severely injured and was unable to walk and in 2023 it takes place during my holiday week so maybe I can play Adventure Week in 2024, if I still play the game by then…

Mmmmh, I liked allways Tyranitar, and here as Mega? Yes, I will do it.

I have a 93% Shadow Tyranitar with the Community Day move, will definitely Mega Evolve it. However I need to level it up a lot still.

I will do remote raid(s) in order to get my first Tyranitar, along with Mega Evolving him.



Plus my investment is not finished for Aurorus, whom I am preparing for Ultra League. I don’t need shiny, rather getting the normal Amaura in bulk will be enough !!
:smile: :smile:

Any ideas what’s this ?



If I will look into the skies nowadays, it is sure that my eyes will receive transparent surprise in form of iridescent water drops !!

Is a Mega Shadow Possible?

Now that you mention it, not sure :face_with_monocle:

Edit: it is not. Another pointless feature then :man_facepalming:

Something like fireworks I assume.

Celebrating Diwali ( Festival of Lights ) in the month which doesn’t have any festivals !!

:face_with_monocle: :crazy_face: :joy:

Update: PokéStop Showcases, Timed Research, Paid Research & Field Research have been added. I do not know the 1* and 3* Raid Bosses yet. There will be 4 Collection Challenges available but I chose not to add them because the game will tell you all you need to know once the event starts in your area.

But for me is the first time that in the radar appears a sign to inform you that you need the Pokémon for a Collection Challenge.

I still didn’t got the idea behind the color of the in-game skies.

Even days are appearing as night because of it !!

:joy: :joy:

Looks like it’s trying to depict a sort of round-the-clock twilight, the sort of which one might see at the higher latitudes of earth (where auroras tend to occur more often, naturally).

Yes, but what’s the relation of this idea with Adventure Week ?
:sweat_smile:

This is what I wanted to say. This theme (Northern Lights) would have suited if event was focused around Ice types or Ghost or Fairy types…

Rather, they should have made Orange-like skies and countryside styled brown routes, as they had depicted in their trailer video !!
