Pokémon GO’s Season of Mythical Wishes’ Twinkling Fantasy event guide

Perfect for a fantasy and mystical theme, this event will feature the debut of Mega Salamence and Shiny Dedenne. Luckily, this time around, there’s no Timed or Special Research locked behind a paid ticket. Instead, enjoy a low-key event with a Collection Challenge, Field Research Tasks, and even some photobomb surprises.
