Pokemon Go Galarian Expedition event: Shiny Zamazenta & Galarian Legendary Birds debut

Pokemon Go keeps on celebrating the Galar region with a new event called Galarian Expedition, which will finally introduce Shiny Zamazenta, as well as the Shiny Galar Legendary Birds Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres.

It’s been an interesting month for Pokemon Go fans, as the Max Out season kicked off with the introduction of Dynamax Pokemon, Max Battles, and the debut of Shiny Zacian during the Legendary Heroes event.

Now, it’s Zamazenta‘s turn. However, the mighty Shield Pokemon doesn’t come alone, as all three Galarian Legendary Birds will also have their Shiny versions debut. Here are all the Galarian Expedition event details.

Dates & times

The Galarian Expedition event will start on Friday, October 4, 2024, at 10:00 AM local time and will run until Friday, October 11, 2024, at 8:00 PM local time.

Shiny Zamazenta & Galarian Legendary Birds debut

NIANTIC

After a long wait, Shiny Zamazenta will finally be introduced into Pokemon Go along with all three Shiny variations of the Galarian Legendary Birds: Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres.

While players can acquire Shiny Zamazenta by challenging the Pokemon in a 5-Star Raid battle, the only way to encounter the Galarian Legendary Birds is in the wild while using the Daily Adventure Incense.

More so, after the event, there will be a permanent update to the Pokemon that can appear while using the Daily Adventure Incense.

During the Galarian Expedition event players will have the chance to purchase the Masterwork Research for $7.99 (or the equivalent in your local currency). Those who complete it will receive:
