Niantic is bringing back the Sustainability Week event for Pokémon GO this year. For 2024, the event is focused more on hatching Pokémon from event 2 km Eggs. Luckily these Eggs will have a shiny hatching boost. Other than that, there aren’t any themed Wild Encounters or Raids. (For more details about the Season of World of Wonders, you can check out our overall Season of World of Wonders guide hub.)

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

  • Pokémon hatched in 2 km Eggs obtained during this event will have a greater chance of being a Shiny Pokémon than when found in the wild or via Field Research.
