<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThis season is stacked. Niantic reworked the event calendar so weekly events now run Tuesday through Monday, with weekend events anchored on Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThat shift alone makes planning raid days less chaotic. On top of that, every Trainer gets these permanent season-long perks for the duration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Season-Long Bonuses (Always Active)<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n+1 Candy on every in-person trade<\/li>\n\n\n\n 1 guaranteed Candy XL per in-person trade for Level 31+ Trainers<\/li>\n\n\n\n Boosted XP on 7-day Pok\u00e9Stop spin streaks<\/li>\n\n\n\n Boosted XP and Stardust on 7-day catch streaks<\/li>\n\n\n\n Higher shiny rates in raids, eggs, and Team GO Rocket encounters<\/li>\n\n\n\n Rocket Leaders and Giovanni drop shinies at increased rates<\/li>\n\n\n\n Evolved forms appearing in the wild (shiny eligible if shiny has debuted)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Daily Discovery Schedule<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nEvery day (12 a.m. to 11:59 p.m. local) has a dedicated bonus type. If you’re grinding GO Pass tasks, you’re going to love Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you’re a shiny hunter, keep Friday in your rotation for those special, lucky trade bonuses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Four times the Stardust from raids plus 50 total battles is a combination you can’t ignore if you’re powering up for GO Fest. Stack a Star Piece on top of that and watch the Stardust pile up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Special Research: “Pressure Rising”<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThis is the free research for all Trainers running through the Memories in Motion season. Complete the prior “Glitz and Glam” storyline first, then “Pressure Rising” opens up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The reward at the end is a Volcanion encounter, non-expiring, shiny, and possible if you’re lucky. No ticket required. For F2P players, this is one of the best Mythical encounters Niantic has offered in a long time without a paywall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Field Research Breakthroughs<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThe breakthrough rotation this season covers Gyarados, Honedge, Dhelmise, Sinistea, Duraludon, and Dreepy; most are shiny-eligible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These rotate in, so check which one is currently active on Leek Duck’s event calendar before burning all your stamps in one week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>GO Pass Deluxe: The Real 10th Anniversary Grind in Pok\u00e9mon G<\/strong>O<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThe GO Pass is live every month and is the backbone of Memories in Motion progression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Pok\u00e9mon GO 10th Anniversary event rewards are tightly integrated here; each monthly pass brings a new boss at Rank 100, season-long milestone bonuses, and, for Deluxe subscribers, a meaningful jump in item quality and encounter density.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let’s break down exactly how it works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>How GO Pass Points Work<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n100 points per rank.<\/strong> Daily task: Catch 15 Pok\u00e9mon = 200 pts automatically.<\/li>\n\n\n\nWeekly tasks<\/strong> include catching 75 Pok\u00e9mon, winning raids, landing Great Throws, hatching eggs, spinning Pok\u00e9Stops, feeding berries, earn buddy hearts.<\/li>\n\n\n\nExtra daily bonus:<\/strong> Raids, hatches, and catches contribute up to 250 additional pts per day.<\/li>\n\n\n\nMonday double points<\/strong> from the Daily Discovery schedule are a massive multiplier; plan your heavy grinding for Mondays.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Milestone Bonuses (Active Until Pass Ends)<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n\nRank 25 (Tier 1):<\/strong> Bigger gift limits, open, receive, and store more gifts daily.<\/li>\n\n\n\nRank 50 (Tier 2):<\/strong> 2\u00d7 Daily Adventure Incense duration.<\/li>\n\n\n\nRank 75 (Tier 3):<\/strong> Boosted Stardust and XP from hatching eggs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<\/span>April 2026 GO Pass: Entei at Rank 100<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThe current pass runs from April 7 to May 5, 2026, with Entei as the Rank 100 encounter (shiny possible).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There’s also a two-day unlimited GO Points window on May 2 to 3; if you’re not at Rank 100 yet, that weekend is your catch-up opportunity. Do not waste it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
