Niantic is hosting an informal collab event for Trainers attending the beginning of this year’s London Games Festival. Trainers can visit the Battersea Power Station and get some in-game bonuses, Timed Research, and lure a PokéStop or two to see if Unown L appears! (For more details about the Season of World of Wonder, you can check out our overall Season of World of Wonder guide hub.)
Please note that while the London Games Festival 2024 takes place from April 9th – 25th, this Pokémon GO event will start prior to the event and end almost one week into the festival’s start date.
Now, check out what’s happening during the Pokémon GO activation at the London Games Festival 2024 with our guide below:
