Pokémon GO Memories in Motion Week

Niantic’s current Pokémon GO season, “Memories in Motion,” runs from March 3 at 10 a.m. local time to June 2 at 10 a.m. local time, according to the company’s season page. The season changed how the game structures weekly play, shifting event pacing to a more regular schedule, moving weekend events to Saturdays in local time, and replacing paid event tickets with event GO Passes. (pokemongo.com) The same season page says Niantic also introduced “Daily Discoveries,” a rotating set of bonuses tied to specific days of the week. That matters for players looking at the week of May 11–17, because the biggest activity is not a single global one-off event but a stack of recurring daily bonuses, raid rotations and a scheduled Community Day Classic on Saturday, May 16. (pokemongohub.net) Pokémon GO Hub’s May 11–17 weekly roundup says the game entered the final month of “Memories in Motion” during that stretch. Niantic’s official season page separately confirms that the season is still active through early June. (pokemongo.com) ### Which parts of this week are actually official and global? Niantic’s official season page is the clearest source for the standing, game-wide features. It says Daily Discoveries are available every week during “Memories in Motion,” generally from 12 a.m. to 11:59 p.m. local time unless otherwise stated. (pokemongo.com) That page lists Sunday as “Double-Time Sunday,” with Incense and several Lure Modules lasting up to twice as long. Monday is “Fast-Track Monday,” with 2× GO Points from Pass Tasks and more active Power Spots. Tuesday is “Showcase Tuesday,” with PokéStop Showcases from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. local time, and Wednesday keeps Raid Hour from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. local time. (pokemongohub.net) ### What changed for raids, battles and trades this season? Wednesday remains the anchor for raid play. Niantic says five-star and Mega Raid bosses rotate at the start of each week’s Wednesday, with Raid Hour still running for one hour in the evening in local time. (pokemongo.com) Thursday is now tied to GO Battle League bonuses. Niantic says players can earn up to 4× Stardust from win rewards on Thursdays, excluding end-of-set rewards, and the daily cap rises from five sets to 10, or 50 battles total. Friday now carries the strongest in-person trading incentives. (pokemongo.com) Niantic says players can make up to two Special Trades on Fridays, get an increased Lucky Trade chance, pay up to 10% less Stardust for trades and, for trainers level 31 and above, receive two guaranteed Candy XL from trades. ### Are boosted shiny odds part of this week or just the season? (pokemongo.com) Niantic’s season page says any evolved Pokémon in the wild can be shiny if that species has already had its shiny debut in Pokémon GO. The company also says players have a higher chance of finding shiny Pokémon from Raid Battles and from hatching Eggs than from standard wild encounters. (pokemongo.com) That means shiny hunting is part of the broader “Memories in Motion” ruleset rather than a one-week-only mechanic tied specifically to May 11–17. Third-party weekly guides, including Pokémon GO Hub’s roundup, track the event calendar inside that season framework, but the season page is the official source for the shiny and daily-bonus rules. (pokemongo.com) ### What should players around Mutxamel or Alicante actually do this week? Local players in Mutxamel or Alicante can use the game’s local-time structure to plan around the same global schedule as everywhere else. Wednesday’s Raid Hour runs from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. local time, Friday carries the best in-person trade bonuses, and Saturday, May 16, is the date listed by Serebii and Pokémon GO Hub for Deino Community Day Classic during this week’s event window. (pokemongo.com) Niantic says more in-game event information is meant to surface through the game itself, and the company’s season page says an in-game event calendar will arrive later in the season. (pokemongo.com) For this week, the next concrete date is Saturday, May 16, when Deino Community Day Classic is scheduled during the final month of “Memories in Motion,” ahead of the season’s end on June 2.
