Pokémon Go Kanto Fest: Mega Evolutions and Dynamax Legendaries

Jan 17,2026 Author: Victoria
  • The Kanto Celebration event will be live from September 2nd through September 7th.
  • Timed Research tasks will feature region-exclusive Pokémon such as Farfetch’d, Kangaskhan, Mr. Mime, and Tauros.
  • An optional Special Research ticket grants access to encounters with Dynamax Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres.

While the Tales of Transformation season whisks you away to Kalos, Pokémon Go is honoring its roots. The upcoming Kanto Celebration shines the spotlight back on the original region, featuring Mega Evolutions, Pokémon exclusive to specific parts of the globe, and even Dynamax forms of the legendary bird trio. All of this excitement is scheduled between September 2nd and 7th.

Beloved Kanto species like Chansey, Snorlax, and Abra will spawn in the wild, with a chance to encounter their rare Shiny variants. Week-long event bonuses feature guaranteed Candy XL from evolving Pokémon, Mega Evolutions lasting three times longer, and double XP from spinning PokéStops. Evolving the classic starters will also reward a Venusaur, Charizard, or Blastoise that knows a powerful Community Day attack.

Timed Research focuses on the region's most sought-after Pokémon. Each day spotlights a different globally exclusive Kanto species—Farfetch’d, Kangaskhan, Mr. Mime, and Tauros. Be quick, as each day's tasks are only available for 24 hours. Field Research tasks will also be available, rewarding Mega Energy, Pokémon encounters, and XP.

Collection Challenges return, tasking you with catching and evolving specific Pokémon to earn additional Mega Energy. Trainers seeking an extra challenge can purchase a $4.99 Special Research ticket for exclusive rewards, including encounters with Dynamax Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres. As a final bonus, the entire event coincides with the ongoing XP celebration, which runs until October 14th.


Here is a current list of active Pokémon Go promo codes.


To prepare for the event, the Pokémon Go Web Store offers an Ultra Ticket Bundle for $4.99. This bundle includes both the Special Research ticket and a Premium Battle Pass at no additional charge.
