Pokémon Day 2020
Pokemon GO players who thought things were going to slow down in the game once the holiday season ended seem to have been proven wrong time and time again during the early months of 2020. With new features launching, like the GO Battle League, and constant events; it seems like there's almost more to do in the mobile AR game than ever before.
The latest batch of Pokemon GO event announcements put the focus on the upcoming Pokemon Day for 2020. The annual celebration coincides with the release of Pokemon: Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution arriving on Netflix February 27th. It's a big month for the Pokemon brand and PoGO players will be benefiting from the crossover hype with some very exciting rewards and bonuses.
There are a handful of events coming up during late February, but these are the bonuses that related to the Pokemon Day festivities...

Some Pokémon are here to party! Keep a lookout for Pikachu and Eevee wearing party hats appearing in the wild. Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle sporting the same festive look will be hatching from 7 km Eggs. There’s a chance that any of these partying Pokémon could be Shiny, too! Armored Mewtwo strikes back in five-star raids! Not only is Armored Mewtwo in Pokémon: Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution, but it will be returning to raids as well with the special Charged Attack Psystrike. Remember Clone Pokémon? Well, some are coming to Pokémon GO! In celebration of the Pokémon Day launch of Pokémon: Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution on Netflix, special Clone Pokémon—including Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise—will appear in four-star raids. Be sure to use #GOsnapshot during the event, too—Clone Pikachu might appear in your photo, and you might be able to catch it!Bonuses
Trainers will be able to do up to two special trades a day. For more information on what a special trade is, please see this help center article. Those are some pretty valuable event features and many trainers will likely want to take advantage of the opportunity to encounter Clone Pokemon and Armored Mewtwo in Raids. The party hats may be getting a little old at this point, but there are enough other special features to make the event worthwhile for trainers. For now, players may want to keep hunting down the best Unova Pokemon in the game if improving their Battle Raid rosters is their primary goal. Be sure to check back in the near future for more Pokemon GO strategy guides, news, and updates. Until then, good luck out there, trainers! What’s up Trainers! Niantic just updated their blog with a bunch of events that are happening thanks to both Pokemon Day and to Pokémon: Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution arriving on Netflix February 27th! Here is the full list of events, dates and everything you need to know to be prepared for these events.Pokémon Day celebration event
