Also new is the Shadow Cresselia Raid as part of the wider Pokémon Go Raid schedule for August. As always, Giovanni is up to his usual tricks, but we’ve got the best counters to use to deal with him.

There are new 'mon in the Pokémon Go Spotlight Hour to check out too.

If digital Pokémon aren't enough, then be sure to don some Pokémon Crocs that will send the haters home crying. If they had some Pokémon Soda Pop Plushies to cuddle at home, maybe they wouldn’t be so jealous.

Yet they certainly will be if they found out you had a Pokémon Le Creuset set – and so would we!

But seeing as it’s Adventure Week and not Adventure Forever, we better crack on with it. Read on!

When is Pokémon Go Adventure Week? Dates and times

Pokémon Go Adventure Week runs from 10am BST on Friday 2nd August until 11:59pm BST on Monday 12th August.

So, despite being called 'Adventure Week', it’s more of an Adventure Week-and-Almost-a-Half. We’re not complaining! It just gives us extra time to try and complete everything included.

Starting on a Friday morning, too, means we might be able to get some tasks done already during our lunch break.

Lucky you if you’ve got the Friday off or work a half day. Spare us a thought as you hoover up all the extra XP while we’re stuck working. Not that we’re jealous, or anything…
