Pokemon Go Flock Together

Pokemon Go Flock Together Research Day will give trainers a chance to encounter Flying-types like Wingull, Taillow, and Fletchling, among others.

It was a busy day as far as Pokemon Go announcements went on May 2, as Niantic confirmed another opportunity to obtain a Master Ball. Additionally, details for the new Flock Together Research event were confirmed on May 2.

As the name implies, this event will have a bird theme, as many different bird Pokemon will be the featured creatures for this event. And, it will come with increased opportunities at Shinies and Timed Research.
