Pokemon GO July 17-23 (2023): Riolu Hatch Day, Rhyhorn Spotlight Hour, and more

Pokemon GO trainers are looking at a dry run for the next few days, with the only notable event happening at the end of the week. The Riolu Hatch Day will feature the Emanation Pokemon in the highlight, with the occasion allowing various egg hatch bonuses. Apart from that, trainers will be able to participate in weekly Spotlight and Raid Hours.

Pokemon GO recently saw the debut of Komala and Snorlax with a nightcap in the Catching Some Z's event. This occasion marked the launch of Pokemon GO Plus+ and Pokemon Sleep.

Players also got their hands on an event-themed Special Research upon pairing the new accessory with the mobile AR title. Those who missed out on it should not fret, as it will be available indefinitely in-game upon pairing.

These specific eggs will drop more frequently from PokeStops that trainers can spin in the game world. Furthermore, they will have more chances of encountering Shiny Riolu egg hatches.
