What to expect from the Solstice event in Pokemon GO

One of the biggest perks of this event is the rare Pokemon that trainers encounter. Part of what makes them so unique is that they can only be engaged once during the event and hold a high trade value.

Therefore, if a trainer is lucky enough to capture a Pokemon from the Solstice event in Pokemon GO, it's recommended not to transfer but save it for a valuable trade.
