Pokémon Go's new Shared Skies season is upon us, and Niantic has already unleashed a wave of exciting content. The Slumbering Sands event, set to kick off on June 7th, promises a week of relaxation and Pokémon encounters under the warm summer sun.
Niantic, the developer behind the beloved Pokémon Go, has unveiled a plethora of content for the highly anticipated Shared Skies season. The Slumbering Sands event, kicking off on June 7th, is set to bring a delightful blend of lazy Pokémon, exclusive quests, and generous rewards.
Starting from June 7th until the 12th, Pokémon Go trainers will embark on a relaxing questline centered around the theme of sleep and summer. While no new Pokémon will be making their debut during this event, a cast of costumed Pokémon is ready to steal the show. The fan-favorite trio of Slakoth, Vigoroth, and Slaking will don stylish visors, and their Shiny variants will also be available for capture.
The Slumbering Sands event promises an abundance of Pokémon encounters, making it an ideal opportunity to fill your Pokédex and earn valuable XP. Wild encounters will feature a wide array of Pokémon, including drowsy favorites like Psyduck, Slowpoke, Drowzee, and Mareep. And if you're lucky enough to capture these Pokémon while wearing their slumbering attire, you'll earn double the XP.
Beyond catching Pokémon, the Slumbering Sands event offers a range of engaging activities to keep trainers entertained. Taking photos of the themed Pokémon may trigger special encounters, leading you to even more rewards. Event-specific Field Research tasks will grant you chances to catch a costumed Slakoth and the elusive Komala.
Owners of the Pokémon Go Plus+ device will gain access to an exclusive Timed Research, providing opportunities to earn Stardust and encounter Snorlax wearing a nightcap, Slakoth with a visor, and Komala. For those willing to spend $2.00, there's also a paid Timed Research offering even more rewards, including the Komala backpack avatar item and special encounters.
To top it off, a Collection Challenge will be held for all trainers. Completing this challenge will reward you with valuable items and a sense of accomplishment.
Pokémon Go's Slumbering Sands event offers a delightful escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Whether you're a seasoned trainer or a newcomer to the Pokémon Go experience, this event promises hours of entertainment and rewarding gameplay.
