Pokémon GO’s Season of Memories in Motion is focused on celebrating the game’s 10th anniversary (or, at least leading up to the big day, as the season shall end a month before the game’s actual anniversary). One of this season’s features is Daily Discoveries, where different events and/or perks will happening Sunday through Friday. Already there were longstanding events for Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, so it was quite the surprise when Daily Discoveries didn’t list the six-year running Spotlight Hour for Tuesday. Instead, Trainers will be getting Showcase Tuesday.
Initially, the first Showcase Tuesday had PokéStop Showcases only active from 12 a.m. to 11:59 a.m. your local time. Due to feedback from Trainers, the PokéStop Showcase time was changed to 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. your local time starting on Tuesday, March 10th, 2026. As for themes for the showcases, there will be up to 20 categories active. It is implied that the categories will be switched up throughout the season.
Since this is a new event, it is unclear if Showcase Tuesday will only be held during the Season of Memories of Motion or if the beloved Spotlight Hour event will return in the next season.
What time will Showcase Tuesday start?
Showcase Tuesday will be active on Tuesday, March 10th, 2026 from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. your local time.
What characteristic/feature will Pokémon be scored on?
Pokémon submitted to PokéStop Showcases during Showcase Tuesday will be awarded points based on biggest size. A Pokémon’s height, weight, and IVs are used to calculate points, with height taking up 80% of the calculation.
