Elite raids are back, giving you the chance to catch some of the game’s rarest Pokémon.

Here’s everything that’s happening in Pokémon Go from March 6 to March 12.

Eevee takes the spotlight

This week’s Spotlight Hour will take place on Tuesday, March 7, 2023, from 6pm local time.

Eevee will appear more commonly during Spotlight Hour, making it the perfect opportunity to collect all of the Eeveelutions.

There are currently eight different Pokémon Eevee can evolve into, so it’s the perfect chance to stock up on Eevee candy.

You’ll also earn double candy for any Pokémon you evolve during this hour, even if it’s not an Eeveelution.

Festival of Colours event starts

The Festival of Colours will take place on Wednesday, March 8, 2023, from 10am local time, and will end on Tuesday, March 14, 2023 at 8pm local time.

Two Pokémon will make their debut, Bruxish and Mega Medicham.

There are also a few mysterious features that will be added such as colour-changing coming to Pokéstops.

There will also be a collection challenge that will earn players 20k XP and a Lure Module.

Pokémon with colourful forms such as Castform, Oricorio, and Burmy will also appear more often.

Ho-Oh enters raids

Raid Hour will take place on Wednesday, March 8, 2023 from 6pm local time.

Taking over from Incarnate Forme Tornadus, is the Generation 2 legendary Ho-Oh.

During Raid Hour, Ho-Oh will be available in five-star raids in every gym.

After this hour, it will still be the target of these raids until next week.

Mega Medicham will be the target of mega raids taking over from Charizard.

Colour comes to the Go Battle League

Go Battle League will change on Thursday, March 9, 2023, at 9pm UK time.

The Great League will stay for another week, but the Fantasy Cup will make way for the Colour Cup.

For this cup Pokémon will be limited to 1.5k CP, and only Grass-, Water-, Fire- and Electric-type ‘mons can enter.

Luckily, there are no excluded Pokémon this week, so choose whoever you like.

Elite raids return to Pokémon Go

The next Elite raid will take place on Saturday, March 11, 2023, at 1pm UK time.

Elite raids are back and there will be two this season featuring either Regieleki or Regidrago.

These are large scale raids that are far more difficult and rare than even five-star raids.

The first is coming this week, though which Regi and the raid locations are yet to be revealed.
