Alongside this, the game is buzzing with the Festival of Colors and the Might and Mastery events, with Catch Mastery being a thrilling part 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 is all about Archen, the First Bird Pokémon, making it a must-attend for enthusiasts. During the event, you'll encounter wild spawns of Omanyte and Kabuto, with the exciting possibility of finding their Shiny versions.

Archen will be available as a Field Research reward, with an increased chance of encountering its Shiny form. To sweeten the deal, the event offers some fantastic XP bonuses: double XP for Nice Throws or better, and additional XP for Curveball Throws.

Don't miss out on the Timed Research focused on catching Rock-types. If you're ready to take on the challenge, you can complete up to 10 sets of tasks, rewarding you with a total of 40 Archen encounters.

The Mega Absol Raid Day Is also Happening Soon
