Your Pokémon GO week ahead: raids, events, and honest priorities
Toni Ramón
Founder & lead editor · Updated
Another week, another turn of the rotation. Here's where I'd spend my Raid Passes, my walking time, and my stardust over the next few days — and what I'd happily skip. Right now there are 317 raid bosses in rotation and 9 events live, with 4 more events landing over the next seven days.
On the calendar
On the events front, Pokemon Fossil Museum - Chicago, LEGO Stores and Pokémon GO and Shadow Giratina (Altered Forme) in Shadow Raids are running now. Check the bonuses before you sink stardust — a well-timed catch or research window can quietly double your returns.
Editor's tip of the week
Transfer duplicates in bulk right after an event, not during it — you'll avoid accidentally sending a good-IV catch you haven't appraised yet.
