Spelunker's Cove Pokemon Go

The Pokemon Go Spelunker’s Cove event will come with new Raids, Field and Timed Research challenges, and the addition of Shiny Crabrawler to the game.

The Pokemon Go Fest Madrid event will kick off on June 14. Those who venture to the Rocky Habitat there will find several different Water and Rock-type creatures, but those who can’t be in Spain for the event can get in on some of the fun.

The Pokemon Go Spelunker’s Cove event will replicate Go Fest Madrid on a global scale, giving trainers the opportunity to catch some of the Pokemon that will appear in Spain.

And, a new Shiny will also enter the world.
