Pokémon GO’s April 20–26 schedule centers on the “Memories in Motion” season, with Sustainability Week ending and Gigantamax battles returning on Saturday, April 25. (pokemongohub.net) The weekly event page says the stretch began Monday, April 20, at 12 a.m. local time and runs through Sunday, April 26, at 11 p.m. local time. It lists Dynamax Regirock in Max Battles through the week, Tapu Koko in five-star raids from April 22–28, and Mega Sharpedo in Mega Raids from April 22–28. (pokemongohub.net) Wednesday’s Raid Hour ran from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. local time with Tapu Koko featured at gyms, and Monday’s Max Monday window ran from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. with Dynamax Regirock. The same April schedule notes that Spotlight Hour is currently canceled. (pokemongohub.net) The week sits inside Pokémon GO’s “Memories in Motion” season, which runs from March 3 to June 2, 2026. That season changed the game’s event cadence by moving weekend events to Saturdays, adding GO Passes in place of some paid tickets, and expanding day-specific bonuses such as Max Monday. (pokemongohub.net) For players planning the weekend, the key date is Saturday, April 25, when the “Replay: GO Bigger Event” runs from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. local time. Pokémon GO Hub says Gigantamax Venusaur, Charizard, Blastoise, and Gengar all return during that three-hour block. (pokemongohub.net) April’s broader calendar shows how packed the month has become. Pokémon GO Hub lists Sustainability Week on April 14–20, Max Battle Day on April 25, and “Steeled Resolve” starting April 28, with raid bosses rotating at 10 a.m. on set dates through the month. (pokemongohub.net) Sustainability Week itself introduced new collection targets before this week began. Pokémon GO Hub says Silicobra made its Pokémon GO debut during the 2026 event, Galarian Corsola wearing sunglasses appeared for the first time, and Shiny Toedscool became available. (pokemongohub.net) In Pleasanton, local play is easiest in larger public park spaces. The City of Pleasanton says its park system includes community parks as large as 104 acres, while Ken Mercer Sports Park at 5800 Parkside Drive operates daily from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., giving players a broad window for raid meetups and walking routes. (cityofpleasantonca.gov) (visittrivalley.com) Niantic’s community map also directs players to outdoor meetups and popular parks for Community Day and other events. For this week’s remaining window, that means checking local gyms before the Sunday, April 26, 11 p.m. cutoff and saving Saturday afternoon for the Gigantamax push. (pokemongo.com) (pokemongohub.net)
