Pokemon GO players have much to look forward to this week

1) Astral Eclipse Event

Niantic recently announced the details of the Astral Eclipse, which brings the final leg of Cosmoem's evolution family. Being held from November 23 at 10 am to November 28 at 8 pm local time, the event will mark the debut of Solagelo, the Sunne Pokemon, and Lunala, the Moone Pokemon.

Players will finally be able to evolve Cosmoem into its two final evolution forms. To get Solagaleo, they need to evolve the pocket monsters with 100 Cosmog Candy during the day. To get Lunala, they need to do the same, but at night. The event will also feature new chapters for the Special Research story: A Cosmic Companion.

There will also be Collection Challenges for players to engage in. As the Season of Light comes to an end on December 1, the Astral Eclipse Event marks the last opportunity for players to catch Nebula skies on the horizon.
