Pokemon GO Riolu Hatch Day: Egg pool, Timed Research, event bonus, and more

Pokemon GO Riolu Hatch Day is slowly coming online worldwide, with trainers getting to participate in a new type of event similar to Community Days. The occasion revolves around hatching the Emanation Pokemon, along with various relative event bonuses. The upcoming Hatch Day will also feature a Timed Research questline for players to complete.

Riolu Hatch Day is scheduled to take place on Saturday, July 22, 2023, starting at 2 pm local time and continuing until 5 pm local time. It follows a similar pattern as that of other Community Day, Community Day Classic, Raid Day, and Research Day events. Players will also encounter the shiny variant of the Emanation Pokemon in the mix.

Furthermore, Shiny Riolu will be available to be hatched from 2km eggs as the event provides an increased chance of acquiring them from egg hatches. The unique variant has distinct yellow streaks.

Getting a Shiny Riolu means trainers can also evolve it to get a Shiny Lucario. Given the latter's prowess in the AR title's PvP battles, it will be a unique catch to have and boast to others.

Apart from the event, players can also participate in the ongoing Blaze New Trails, featuring the debut of Zygarde in Pokemon GO through a Special Research questline.
