Pokémon Go: World of Wonders - Tasks, rewards and end date
From the Paldea region to Poipole, here are all the World of Wonder rewards up for grabs.
The ongoing Pokémon Go World of Wonders season is full of new incentives to carry on playing Niantic's catch 'em all. You're also allowed to use it as an excuse to dive back into the game, we won't tell.
Initially kicking off in March, the new season has seen the dastardly Team Rocket return and cause havoc. It's up to us to stop them and Giovanni.
New Pokémon have been introduced, new Raids have been available to battle, and tons of XP has been earned and Poké Balls thrown. This isn't to mention new Community Days, Field Research, and events such as Bug Out.
Here's everything you need to know about the Pokémon Go World of Wonders end date, rewards, and events.
When does Pokémon Go: World of Wonders start and end?
Pokémon Go: World of Wonders will take place from 1st March 2024 to 1st June 2024.
The exact timings of the event will begin and end at 10am local time on those specific dates, so that's three months of wonder to uncover.
