A weekend party from 4 to 6 July marking ten years of Pokémon GO, with the debut of Gimmighoul holding a 10th anniversary coin, which keeps appearing from Golden Lure Modules and Coin Bags until the end of July. Party-hatted Pikachu, Eevee and Wurmple appear in the wild, and catch XP and Stardust are boosted heavily, so it is a good weekend for levelling and powering up. A paid Timed Research and evolving the Kanto starters for their signature Charged Attacks are also worth a look.
