Pokémon GO players are in the middle of Memories in Motion this week, with in-game activities running through Saturday, April 25, and Sunday, April 26, depending on the feature. (pokemongo.com) (pokemongohub.net) The current season, Memories in Motion, began March 3 and runs until June 2, 2026, and it changed the game’s weekly rhythm with set-day bonuses like Raid Hour on Wednesdays and trade boosts on Fridays. (pokemongo.com) Niantic also shifted away from many paid event tickets toward GO Pass tracks this season, while adding Daily Discoveries that rotate by weekday in local time. (pokemongo.com) The week started with Sustainability Week, which ran from Tuesday, April 14, at 10 a.m. to Monday, April 20, at 8 p.m. local time and added Silicobra and Sandaconda to Pokémon GO in desert-like areas. (pokemongo.com) (pokemon.com) That event also brought in Galarian Corsola wearing pink sunglasses and the first chance to find a Shiny Toedscool, while Routes, 7 km Eggs, and field research all fed into the same themed rewards loop. (pokemongo.com) (pokemon.com) The next big beat is Replay: GO Bigger on Saturday, April 25, from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. local time, when Gigantamax Venusaur, Blastoise, Charizard, and Gengar return in Max Battles at Power Spots. (pokemon.com) (pokemongohub.net) Those battles come with event bonuses that raise the Max Particle cap to 1,600, increase Power Spot activity, and expand the daily Remote Raid limit from 10 to 20 for part of April 24 and April 25. (pokemon.com) For players trying to join in person, Pokémon’s Event Locator is the official tool for finding nearby organized play, and Essex Junction is one of the places local players can use to coordinate meetups around the week’s raids and bonuses. (events.pokemon.com) (pokemongohub.net) The thread running through all of it is local-time play: weekday bonuses switch on and off by day, Sustainability Week used biome-based spawns and Routes, and the Gigantamax return is compressed into a three-hour Saturday window. (pokemongo.com 1) (pokemongo.com 2) (pokemon.com) By the weekend, the question for trainers is simple: use the season’s regular schedule to prep, then show up Saturday afternoon with powered-up Dynamax or Gigantamax teams if they want a shot at the returning Kanto bosses.
