A 7-day Spring Marathon event in Pokémon Go now pairs Flittle and Espathra’s debut with a one-step Timed Research that awards 21,000 XP and a Marathon Visor Pikachu for exploring 42km.
Flittle enters the event’s 5km egg pool alongside Flower Crown Pikachu, Togepi and Happiny, while event field research grants flower-crown encounters or 1 Rare Candy for spinning a new PokéStop.
Go Pass: Spring Marathon 2026 runs from May 12 to May 18 at 8 p.m. local time, with a free track and paid Deluxe options priced at $4.99 or $6.99 with six ranks pre-completed.
Major milestone bonuses include double XP for spinning PokéStops on the free track, triple XP on Deluxe, and half hatch distance for eggs placed in incubators during event hours.
