Pokemon Go Valentine’s Day 2021 event: date & start time, Latios & Latias raids, Musharna debut, more

Pokemon Go is celebrating Valentine’s Day 2021 with an epic event. The limited-time celebration will debut popular Black & White ‘mon Munna and Musharna, as well as feature Latios & Latias 5-star Raids, and more.

Love is in the air in Pokemon Go, as Niantic has announced a special event celebrating this year’s Valentine’s Day. The hit game will honor the romantic holiday with a whole host of goodies and monster spawns.

The event also marks the first time players can catch Unova ‘mon Munna & Musharna in the mobile title. Here is everything you need to know about the upcoming limited time week-long celebration.

Pokemon Go Valentine’s Day event date & start times

The special event will officially kick off on February 14 at 1:00PM (local time), and ends on February 18 at 8:00PM. Although Valentine’s Day technically is only 24 hours, Niantic is giving players an extra four days to unlock everything.

While the romantic holiday isn’t for everyone (single Trainers, we sympathize with you!), the celebration is full of rewards that will entice any player to jump on in. Like previous region celebrations, Go will also be getting a Valentine’s Day Challenge with rewards.

Trainers who evolve a Kirlia during the event will also be able to obtain a Gardevoir or Gallade that will learn the powerful Psychic-type move Synchronoise. The charged attack boasts 80 damage, and only needs 50 energy to pull off.
