Pokémon Go is hosting a Galarian-themed event bringing Zacian back to raids and focusing a bit on trading Pokémon. The event runs from Sept. 26 until Oct. 1.
The bulk of this event is a Timed Research set that forces you to choose a path between sword and shield. Other than that, special trades will cost half the Stardust and Koffing will be able to evolve into Galarian Weezing (which usually isn’t a thing). Zacian (Hero of Many Battles) is also available shiny for the first time, a somewhat big deal for the Pokémon as you cannot shiny hunt this legendary in the game it’s from and this shiny was only given out via an old code distribution.
Below we list out all the event perks for Pokémon Go’s “Legendary Heroes” event, including its Collection Challenge, boosted spawns, and event Field Research.
There are a few Collection Challenges to complete that involve you catching and evolving specific Pokémon. The Collection Challenges you get depend on which path you pick.
