Pokémon GO’s Limited Research Day: An Egg-citing Spring Surprise event guide

Spring is in full swing in Pokémon GO thanks to the recent Spring into Spring event. While Pokémon wearing flower crowns are abundant, Niantic is also celebrating the season by spotlighting some egg-themed Pokémon.

For three hours (11 a.m. to 2 p.m. your local time) on Saturday, April 16th, 2022, there will be a Limited Research Day event focused on Exeggcute. During this short time window, you’ll be able to get Limited Research tasks that will result in Exeggcute Encounters. Combine this with Alolan Exeggutor learning Draco Meteor (if evolved during the event), Trainers can really build an eggciting team for battles and their Shiny Dex.

Here’s what will be happening during this event.
