Pokémon Go is bringing magical summer adventures with three special events - Serene Retreat, Instrumental Wonders, and Phantom Ruins. Each event features unique Pokémon appearances, increased encounter rates, exciting bonuses, and the first-ever Gigantamax appearances of Rillaboom, Cinderace, and Inteleon.

Serene Retreat leads the charge from May 30th to June 3rd, offering tranquil encounters with Pokémon like Komala, Cutiefly, and Hatenna appearing more frequently. Lucky trainers might encounter rare Shiny versions of Chimecho or Snorlax.

The event features Eggs hatching Chingling and Spritzee, along with the debut of Gigantamax Rillaboom appearing in six-star Max Battles. Event ticket holders receive boosted Stardust from hatches and access to exclusive Timed Research rewards, including Shiny Munna and Super Incubators.

Instrumental Wonders brings musical energy from June 7th to 11th, featuring electric and steel-type Pokémon including Golett, Tadbulb, and Ferroseed appearing more frequently. Look out for Falinks and Beldum in wild encounters and raids, with increased Shiny odds for Ferroseed and Falinks.

The adventure concludes with Phantom Ruins from June 14th to 18th, inviting trainers to explore mysterious encounters with ghost and ground-type Pokémon. Wild spawns include Drilbur, Skorupi, and Phantump, while Incense attracts rarer Pokémon like Greavard and Rufflet. Gigantamax Inteleon makes its big debut in six-star Max Battles, complemented by global bonuses including double XP and enhanced Incense effects.

Individual event tickets are available for $1.99 through the Pokémon Go Web Store, with Ultra Ticket Bundles offering five bonus Ultra Balls. Each Timed Research questline provides themed challenges and exclusive Pokémon encounters, though trainers should complete them during the event period as rewards expire afterward.
