When is the Pokémon Go Galarian Expedition event?
The good news is the event has already begun, starting at 10am local time on 4th October. It will run for seven days, finishing on 11th October at 6pm local time.
This means the event will run for seven days, offering players ample time to get what rewards they want and catch Zamazenta.
What's included in the Pokémon Go Galarian Expedition event?
The event will have a five-star raid, alongside some three-star raids and one-star raids. There is also a new Masterwork Research, focusing on the Master Ball for £7.99 (or equivalent in local currency).
