Pokémon GO weeklong events and bonuses

Pokémon GO’s April 20–26 week stacks a live event, rotating raids and one-hour evening windows into a seven-day grind for catches and raid passes. (pokemongohub.net) The weekly slate runs from 12:00 a.m. local time on Monday, April 20, to 11:00 p.m. local time on Sunday, April 26, according to Pokémon GO Hub’s weekly calendar. The biggest timed event is “Replay: GO Bigger” on Saturday, April 25, from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. local time. (pokemongohub.net) That Saturday event brings Gigantamax Venusaur, Gigantamax Charizard, Gigantamax Blastoise and Gigantamax Gengar back into G-Max battles for a three-hour block. During the rest of the week, Dynamax Regirock is the featured Max Battle boss from April 20 through April 26, with a Max Monday hour from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. local time on April 20. (pokemongohub.net; pokemongohub.net) The raid rotation also flips midweek. Groudon stays in five-star raids through April 21, then Tapu Koko takes over from April 22 through April 28, while Mega Alakazam leaves after April 21 and Mega Sharpedo starts April 22. (pokemongohub.net; pokemongohub.net) Wednesday’s Raid Hour follows that same handoff. Pokémon GO Hub’s weekly page says Tapu Koko is the featured boss from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. local time on April 22, although the body text on the same page still names Groudon, matching the earlier weekly rotation and suggesting the page was only partly updated. (pokemongohub.net; pokemongohub.net) For players trying to plan neighborhood meetups, the game’s recurring weekly windows are concentrated in the evening: Max Monday runs Mondays from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. local time, Raid Hour runs Wednesdays from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. local time, and Pokémon GO Hub says the usual Tuesday Spotlight Hour schedule is “currently cancelled” in April 2026. (pokemongohub.net) This week also overlaps with the tail end of Sustainability Week 2026, which ended at 8:00 p.m. local time on April 20. That event added Silicobra and Sandaconda to the game, introduced Shiny Toedscool, and boosted event spawns including Seedot, Castform, Toedscool, Wiglett and Silicobra. (pokemongohub.net) April’s broader calendar shows how dense the month has become. Pokémon GO Hub lists Fashion Raid Day on April 4, Tinkatink Community Day on April 11, Riolu Hatch Day on April 18, Max Battle Day on April 25, and two Steeled Resolve events starting April 28 and April 30. (pokemongohub.net) Weekend players also get Shadow Latios in five-star Shadow Raids during the “Memories in Motion” period, with a chance at a Shiny Shadow Latios if they are lucky. By Sunday night, the April 20–26 week closes with Tapu Koko in standard legendary raids and the Gigantamax return event already in the books. (pokemongohub.net)
