The first day of Pokmon Go Fest 2022 will introduce a new Special Research questline. Itll have you tracking and catching mythical pocket monster Land Forme Shaymin, as well as grabbing some event-exclusive rewards and avatar items along the way.

In a first for Pokmon Go, the event has an element of customization, letting you set its difficulty to Relaxed, Standard, or Master each of which comes with different sticker rewards as well as choose a preferred gameplay focus from Catch, Explore, or Battle.

Four habitats will be in rotation throughout the day, with different pokmon appearing during each hour. The habitats include city, plains, rainforest,
and tundra. Ticket holders will also be able to use incense to attract an additional range of pokmon, including Klink and Galarian Weezing, while a new collaborative Global Challenge Arena will earn you hourly bonuses.

A handful of shiny pokmon are making their debuts, including Shiny Shroomish, Shiny Numel, Shiny Karrablast, Shiny Axew, and Shiny Shelmet. Ticket holders will have an increased chance of encountering them using incense.

The event will run from 10am to 6pm local time. (Image credit: Niantic) Sunday, June 5
