How to prepare for Pokemon Go Fest 2022

If you’re going to take part in Go Fest 2022, there are a few things you can do to prepare and get the most out of the event:

• Purchase two Incense to use on the day as they will last longer than usual.
• Save any Lure Modules you have as they will last for three hours during the event.
• Stock up on lots of Ultra Balls so you can catch plenty of the headline Pokemon.
• Transfer any unwanted Pokemon so you’ll have space for all the catching you’ll do.
