The new year has begun which means a whole batch of new events is coming our way in Pokémon GO this year. This year, January is going strong by doing an event called Twinkling Fantasy which is where the game is shifting its focus to Dragon and Fairy Pokemon Types for the time of the event. The event goes from January 10 at 8 am all the way until January 16 at 10 pm.

There are many usual Raid Battles and Egg exclusives as always, and the event will see the debut of Mega Salamence and Shiny Dedenne in the game. There are also some new Event Bonuses and Featured Attacks that can be used across the week, so we are going to be breaking down everything as best we can so you are prepared for the event.
