To wrap up the Kanto Tour event, Pokémon Go is hosting a Kanto Celebration, featuring the many Pokémon from the first Pokémon games.
The event takes place from Feb. 21 until Feb. 27, and it’ll feature increased spawn rates for many Kanto Pokémon, as well as more Kanto Pokémon in eggs. Similarly, Kanto region Pokémon are also taking over raids, with Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, and Mewtwo all getting featured as five-star targets.
As per usual with these types of events, a special set of Field Research can be found by spinning Poké Stops.
