Name: Dancing in The Moonlight
Start: 2026-09-23T10:00

A Clefairy-themed event for players in parts of East and South-East Asia, running from 23 to 28 September. Four times a day, Clefairy, some with a special background, and other moon-themed Pokémon briefly appear in large numbers, so it is worth playing at those times. Two consecutive Timed Research stories reward encounters with Clefairy with a special background, Lunatone and others.
