Riolu Hatch Day, Rhyhorn Spotlight Hour, and more

Modified July 17, 2023 10:58 GMT

Pokemon GO trainers are planning a dry run for the next few days, with the only notable event happening at the end of the week. Riolu Hatch Day will feature the Pokemon Emanation, the occasion allowing for various egg hatch bonuses. Other than that, trainers will be able to participate in the weekly Spotlight and Raid hours.

Pokemon GO recently saw the debut of Komala and Snorlax with a nightcap during the Catching Some Z event. This occasion marked the launch of Pokemon GO Plus+ and Pokemon Sleep.

Players also got their hands on special research on the theme of the event when associating the new accessory with the mobile AR title. Those who missed it shouldn’t worry, as it will be available in-game indefinitely upon matchmaking.

Riolu Hatch Day, Shiny Lucario, Rhyhorn Spotlight Hour and more await Pokemon GO players this week

1) Riolu hatching day

Riolu Hatch Day is scheduled to be held on Saturday, July 22, 2023, from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. local time. During these three hours, the Emanation Pokémon can hatch from two-kilometer eggs.

These specific eggs will drop more frequently from PokeStops that trainers can spin around in the game world. Additionally, they will have a higher chance of encountering Shiny Riolu egg hatches.

Pokemon GO trainers can evolve Riolu (normal or shiny variant) into Lucario using 50 Riolu Candies. To learn more about the event, see our guide.
