Pokémon GO’s Season of Timeless Travels’ Dazzling Dream event guide

We’re almost halfway through Pokémon GO’s Season of Timeless Travels and the next event is all about Fairy-type Pokémon! This short event will overlap with Hisuian Typhlosion Raid Day, but in the meantime, Trainers can see if they’re lucky enough to encounter a Shiny Cutiefly. Also, be on the lookout for Flabébé appearing in the wild (and remember that certain color variants are region exclusives). (For more details about the Season of Timeless Travels, you can check out our overall Season of Timeless Travels guide hub.)

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