Sustainability Week returns for 2026 in Pokémon GO! This year’s event features multiple debuts – a shiny debut, costume debut, and the standard “finally debuting in Pokémon GO” debut. Along with these debuts, Sustainability Week will also get its own GO Pass (and GO Pass Deluxe). So expect more chances at encountering event-themed Pokémon there.

Now, check out what’s happening during the Sustainability Week event with our guide below:

 

Pokémon GO’s Season of Memories in Motion – Sustainability Week

Begins: Tuesday, April 14th, 2026 at 10 a.m. your local time.

Ends: Monday, April 20th, 2026 at 8 p.m. your local time.

 

Pokémon debuts – Shiny Toedscool, Costumed Galarian Corsola, Silicobra, and Sandaconda

 

 

During this year’s Sustainability Week there will be a few new debuts – Shiny Toedscool, Galarian Corsola wearing pink sunglasses, Silicobra, and Sandaconda. (Technically, yes, that means Shiny Toedscruel will also be available.)

  • Shiny Toedscool: If you’re lucky, you may encounter a Shiny Toedscool out in the wild in select biomes. During this event, Toedscool will appear more frequently in the wild.
    • Shiny Toedscruel: If you catch a Shiny Toedscool and have 50 Toedscool Candies, you can evolve that Shiny Toedscool into a Shiny Toedscruel!
  • Galarian Corsola wearing pink sunglasses (Costumed Galarian Corsola): Galarian Corsola will be appearing in this year’s Sustainability Week event sporting some rose-colored shades. You can encounter this Galarian Corsola on selected days while partaking in Routes as well as finding them in 7 km Eggs obtained during this event.
  • Silicobra: Debuting in Pokémon GO, you’ll find Silicobra in the wild in desert-like environments. During this event, Silicobra will appear more frequently in the wild.
    • Sandaconda: To get Sandaconda, you’ll have to have a Silicobra and 50 Silicobra Candies (so you can evolve Silicobra into Sandaconda).

 

Note: Going forward, Galarian Corsola wearing pink sunglasses will be referred to as “Costumed Galarian Corsola” rather than the exact outfit they are wearing.
