Pokémon GO Memories in Motion Week

Pokémon GO’s April 20–26 lineup is live now, with the “Memories in Motion” season shaping this week’s raids, Max Battles and event timing. (pokemongohub.net) The week runs from 12 a.m. local time on Monday, April 20, to 11 p.m. local time on Sunday, April 26, according to Pokémon GO Hub’s event calendar. Wednesday’s Raid Hour featured Tapu Koko from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. local time, and Tapu Koko remains the five-star raid boss through April 28. (pokemongohub.net) Mega Sharpedo replaced Mega Alakazam in Mega Raids on April 22 and stays in rotation through April 28. Dynamax Regirock is the Max Battle focus for April 20–26, with Max Monday listed as a weekly pillar of the current season. (pokemongohub.net) Saturday, April 25, is the week’s biggest in-person play window: the “Replay: GO Bigger Event” runs from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. local time and brings back Gigantamax Venusaur, Charizard, Blastoise and Gengar. Pokémon GO Hub lists it as a second chance at returning Gigantamax battles. (pokemongohub.net) This week also sits between larger April beats in the game’s calendar. Pokémon GO Hub’s monthly schedule shows Sustainability Week ran April 14–20, Max Battle Day is April 25, and the next major event, “Steeled Resolve,” starts April 28. (pokemongohub.net) “Memories in Motion” is the current Pokémon GO season, running from March 3 to June 2. The season changed the game’s event structure by shifting weekend events to Saturdays, adding weekly Max Mondays, and moving event monetization toward GO Passes instead of paid tickets. (pokemongohub.net) The season also added day-by-day bonuses that affect how players plan a week. Pokémon GO Hub says Max Battles are tied to Mondays, Raid Hours stay on Wednesdays, and GO Battle League bonuses land on Thursdays, while in-person trades now give one extra Candy and a guaranteed Candy XL for players level 31 and up. (pokemongohub.net) For players around Orem trying to turn those rotating events into group play, Pokémon GO directs users to its Community Day Map and Campfire tools to find nearby meetups, Community Ambassadors and active groups. Campfire says its map is built to help players discover local communities and live events in real time. (pokemongo.com) (campfire.nianticlabs.com) The practical playbook for the rest of this week is simple: Tapu Koko raids, Mega Sharpedo raids, Dynamax Regirock Max Battles and Saturday’s three-hour Gigantamax return. After that, the calendar rolls straight into “Steeled Resolve” on Monday, April 28. (pokemongohub.net)
