Pokemon Go Players Could Unlock a Special Zapdos Day Event

By Zac Cameron ·

A goal has been set for players around the world that if reached could unlock a unique Zapdos day special event.

Pokemon Go Players Could Unlock a Special Zapdos Day Event

It’s round two of Professor Willow’s Global Challenge, with players around the world working together to meet challenge requirements during the Pokémon Go Fest in Chicago. Should each area reach their requirements, we could see a bevy of special rewards including a special Zapdos day event.

If all goals are reached by the Pokémon Go player base, trainers around the world will gain access to up to five free Raid Passes when they spin a Photo Disc at a Pokémon Gym during Zapdos day. Additionally, on Saturday July 21st, Zapdos will become available exclusively through Raid Battles around the world for a brief three hour period. During that time, all Zapdos caught will know the Fast Attack Thundershock, and it will be possible to encounter a Shiny Zapdos.
