ytMoreover, don't miss out on the Timed Research that adds an extra layer of excitement.

Remember, these tasks expire on May 31st, so act swiftly! Don't forget to redeem Pokémon Go codes for a variety of freebies to enhance your event experience.

Event bonuses are plentiful, including 3x Catch Stardust, three-hour Lure Modules and Incense, and surprise photo encounters. Engage in Field Research and PokéStop Showcases for more opportunities to earn Stardust, Great Balls, and Machop encounters with unique backgrounds.

To cap it all off, the Pokémon Go Web Store will launch an Ultra Community Day Box on May 14th for $1.99, containing two Rare Candies and a Special Research ticket, perfect for maximizing your event rewards.
