Pokémon GO Memories in Motion Week

Niantic’s Pokémon GO is in the closing stretch of its “Memories in Motion” season, and the week of May 18 through May 24 is built around recurring local play windows rather than one single marquee event. The season itself runs from March 3 to June 2, 2026, and Niantic says it shifted event timing to a more regular schedule, moved weekend events to Saturdays, and replaced many paid tickets with GO Passes. (pokemongo.com) For players in Littleton or nearby towns, that means the schedule is mostly driven by local-time bonuses you can join wherever you play. Monday, May 18 featured “Max Monday,” with Dynamax Registeel appearing from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. local time and continuing in Max Battles through May 24, according to Pokémon GO Hub’s weekly event roundup. The same roundup said Tapu Bulu became the featured five-star raid boss starting May 20, while Mega Altaria rotated into Mega Raids the same day. (pokemongohub.net) The week also overlapped with the end of Spring Marathon. Pokémon GO Hub said that event ran until Monday, May 18 at 8 p.m. local time and included the debut of Flittle and Pikachu wearing a marathon visor, along with event bonuses, wild spawns, eggs, Field Research and GO Pass rewards. (pokemongohub.net) The broader “Memories in Motion” season adds a standing daily structure that matters more than usual for community play. Niantic says Sundays extend Incense and Lure duration, Mondays increase GO Pass points and Power Spot activity, Tuesdays activate PokéStop Showcases, Wednesdays keep Raid Hour from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. local time, Thursdays raise GO Battle League rewards and battle-set limits, and Fridays increase in-person trade benefits, including up to two Special Trades. (pokemongo.com) That format makes local coordination easier because most of the important windows are fixed by weekday and local time. A Littleton-area group does not need a city-specific event to meet up; the same raid, trade and battle bonuses apply in any nearby play area with gyms, PokéStops and Power Spots. Niantic’s season page said an in-game event calendar would arrive later in the season to help players track those windows. (pokemongo.com) Saturday, May 23 is the clearest focal point this week. Pokémon GO Hub said Mega Falinks makes its Pokémon GO debut during a “Super Mega Raid Day” running from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. local time, with up to five additional free raid passes and boosted shiny odds. Niantic’s news page separately listed an April 24 announcement for “Falinks Super Mega Raid Day,” confirming the event was part of the official May schedule. (pokemongohub.net) Outside that raid window, the week remains a maintenance-and-meetup stretch inside the season’s final month. Niantic says “Memories in Motion” includes season-long bonuses such as extra in-person trade candy, guaranteed Candy XL for trainers level 31 and above when trading in person, and increased XP or Stardust on seven-day streaks. Those are the kinds of bonuses that reward routine local play rather than one-off attendance. (pokemongohub.net) The next hard date after this week is June 2, 2026, when “Memories in Motion” ends at 10 a.m. local time, according to Niantic’s season page.
