Summary
July 4-6 marks Pokémon GO’s 10th-anniversary in-game party, headlined by Gimmighoul holding a 10th anniversary coin and returning costumed Pokémon including cake-hat Pikachu and party-hat Eevee.
4x catch XP and 4x catch Stardust will run throughout the event, alongside boosted chances for Shiny event Pokémon and Shiny Gimmighoul when players use a Coin Bag.
Golden Lure Modules and Coin Bags can trigger encounters with the anniversary Gimmighoul, while its special background variant and standard version remain available until July 31.
A US$1.99 paid Timed Research ticket adds a Super Incubator, Premium Battle Pass and a special-background anniversary Gimmighoul encounter; tasks must be finished by July 6 at 8 p.m. local time.
The event highlights Pokémon GO’s decade since its 2016 launch, now under Scopely ownership, with app and web-store anniversary purchases also tied to the celebration.
