Pokémon GO’s Season of Heritage Power Plant Event guide

Thanks to Team Instinct leader Spark’s intuition, the second mechanism of the mysterious door was unlocked during Pokémon GO’s Mountains of Power event.

In hopes of unlocking the third and final mechanism, Spark is trusting his intuition again. He believes that Electric-type Pokémon can use their powers to open the mechanism. Thus, Trainers will be tasked with catching Electric-type Pokémon in a brand new event that is inspired by power plants located in the Kanto and Kalos regions. Yet, generating all this electricity may have alerted Team GO Rocket about Professor Willow’s research.

Note: This Power Plant Event consists of a main event (titled “Power Plant Event”) and a sub-event called “Team GO Rocket Strikes!” (Note: this sub-event was referred to as “A bad feeling…” before its start time). Please be aware that different bonuses, Pokémon appearances in raids, and more may only be activated for part of the event. Further details will be added when the event and its sub-event become active.
