Party Up

Party Up began on Wednesday, November 22, 2023, at 10 am local time and will run until Monday, November 27, 2023, at 8 pm local time. The event urges trainers to experience the game while banding up with others in real life as parties.

Apart from exciting event bonuses and wild encounters, the Gen IX 'mons that debuted in the past few months are also available at the event. The occasion also marks the arrival of the paid Master Ball Special Research questline.

The occasion will also provide a Community Day Classic-exclusive featured attack (Dragon Pulse) for Ampharos, provided trainers evolve their Flaaffy to Ampharos during the event or up to two hours afterward.

The event will also feature player bonuses, Field Research tasks, and a paid Special Research questline. Check out our Pokemon GO Mareep Community Day Classic November 2023 guide to learn more.
