Pokemon Go World Tourism Day Event | Extra XP and Field Research rewards
One big announcement is that this event will finally see the arrival of Mime Jr. It’ll be available to hatch from 5km eggs in Europe, and if you’re lucky, you might even get a shiny variety. Other shiny Pokemon available to catch are shiny Seviper and shiny Zangoose, so you’ll have plenty of searching to do if you want to add these to your Pokedex.
As for what else you can enjoy, trading Pokemon will cost one quarter less to do. You’ll also earn twice as much XP from spinning PokeStops, and special themed Field Research tasks will give you rewards if you complete them in time.
Finally, region-specific Pokemon can be hatched from 5km eggs, too. The likes of Tauros, Heracross, Volbeat, and Heatmor can be gained from these eggs, so get your walking shoes on and see what you can hatch.
