Pokémon GO Memories in Motion this week

Pokémon GO’s week of May 11 through May 17 is anchored by the closing stretch of the game’s “Memories in Motion” season, with a Spring Marathon event, Deino Community Day Classic, regional Ultra Beast raids and the weekly Max Monday and Raid Hour rotations, according to Pokémon GO Hub. The season itself runs from March 3 to June 2, 2026, and Pokémon GO Hub said it introduced new Daily Discovery features, boosted shiny odds for some eggs and raid encounters, and shiny-capable evolved Pokémon in the wild. This week’s schedule is global and runs on local time, which means players in places including Bétera see the same event windows adjusted to their own clocks. ### Which parts of the week are actually live right now? May 15 falls in the middle of the May 11-17 event window, with Spring Marathon already underway and Deino Community Day Classic still ahead on Saturday. Pokémon GO Hub said Spring Marathon runs from Tuesday, May 12, at 10:00 a.m. to Monday, May 18, at 8:00 p.m. local time. The site said the event includes the debut of Flittle and Pikachu wearing a marathon visor, along with event bonuses, raids, field research and GO Pass rewards. (pokemongohub.net) The broader “Memories in Motion” season remains active through June 2, 2026. Pokémon GO Hub said season-wide bonuses include extra Candy for in-person trades, a guaranteed Candy XL for in-person trades by trainers level 31 and above, and increased XP or Stardust tied to seven-day streaks. ### What is “Memories in Motion,” and why does it change the weekly routine? (pokemongohub.net) March 3, 2026, marked the start of “Memories in Motion,” which Pokémon GO Hub described as a season built around Daily Discoveries and a revised event structure. The site said the season changed pacing so weekend events move to Saturdays in local time and paid tickets shift to event GO Passes. It also said an in-game event calendar would arrive later in the season. (pokemongohub.net) Daily Discoveries are tied to specific weekdays, according to Pokémon GO Hub. Sunday extends Incense and Lure durations, Monday doubles GO Points from pass tasks and expands Max Battle activity, Tuesday adds PokéStop Showcases, Wednesday keeps raid rotations and Raid Hour, and Thursday raises the daily GO Battle League set cap to 10 with up to four-times Stardust from win rewards.

Saturday, May 16, is reserved for Deino Community Day Classic from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. local time, Pokémon GO Hub said. The site said Deino will spawn more frequently, players will get 3× XP for catching Pokémon, and Shiny Deino will be available at boosted odds during the event window. (pokemongohub.net) May 16 also carries an evolution deadline. Pokémon GO Hub said players who evolve Zweilous during the event or up to 9:00 p.m. local time that day will get a Hydreigon that knows the exclusive move Brutal Swing. ### Which raids and Max Battles define this week? May 13 changed the five-star raid pool, with Pheromosa appearing in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, Buzzwole in the Americas, and Xurkitree in Asia-Pacific, Pokémon GO Hub said. (pokemongohub.net) The same three Ultra Beasts were featured in Raid Hour on Wednesday, May 13, from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. local time, while Mega Glalie entered Mega Raids for the May 13-19 stretch. May 11 started the week’s Max Battle focus on Dynamax Growlithe.

The site also said there are no Spotlight Hours in May 2026. ### What should players do before this week rolls over? (pokemongohub.net) Monday, May 18, is the next hard stop for the current event slate. Pokémon GO Hub said Spring Marathon ends at 8:00 p.m. local time that day, while the Deino evolution window closes at 9:00 p.m. local time on May 16. The season itself continues until June 2, 2026, with Daily Discoveries and season bonuses still in place after this week’s headline events end. (pokemongohub.net)
