Pokémon GO — Memories in Motion Week

Pokémon GO players in Carver are in the middle of a weeklong Memories in Motion event that runs through Sunday, April 26, with Gigantamax battles back in rotation. (pokemongohub.net) The event week began Monday, April 20, 2026, and the current weekly roundup says it ends Sunday, April 26, at 11:00 p.m. local time. That means players can take part on their own local schedule rather than at a single fixed global hour. (pokemongohub.net) Memories in Motion is the current Pokémon GO season, running from March 3 to June 2, 2026. Niantic says the season shifted the game to a more regular weekly structure, with recurring Monday Max activity, Wednesday Raid Hour, Thursday GO Battle bonuses, and Friday in-person trade bonuses. (pokemongo.com) That schedule helps explain why this week is built around both event play and battle play. Niantic says Mondays in this season refresh Power Spots more often, add extra Power Spots, and rotate Max Battles between 6:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. local time. (pokemongo.com) April’s broader event calendar places this week between Sustainability Week, which ran April 14 through April 20, and a Max Battle Day set for Saturday, April 25. The same monthly schedule lists Dynamax Regirock in Max Battles for April 20 through April 26. (pokemongohub.net) The monthly April lineup also shows Tapu Koko as the five-star raid boss from April 22 through April 28, with Mega Sharpedo in Mega Raids over the same stretch. For players checking the map this week, those are the headline raid targets alongside the event’s Max content. (pokemongohub.net) Gigantamax battles are the bigger draw because they use Pokémon GO’s Max Battle system, which Niantic has described as a group activity tied to Power Spots rather than standard gyms. Niantic’s event materials for Gigantamax battles have said these bosses are intended for large groups of Trainers working together. (pokemongolive.com, pokemongolive.com) For Carver players, the practical effect is simple: the event is live all week wherever local Pokémon GO play is active, and the busiest windows are likely to be the regular weekly features already built into the season. The current event roundup says this week’s package combines Memories in Motion activity with “second chance” Gigantamax battles before the schedule rolls into the next set of April events.
