Pokemon Go Articuno, Zapdos and Moltres Dynamax Forms Will Be Available One Week at a Time

Get Ready for Dynamax Legendary Birds in Pokémon GO!

From January 20th to February 3rd, the legendary birds Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres will appear in their Dynamax forms in Pokémon GO! This exciting event offers players the chance to catch these powerful Pokémon.

A Week-Long Encounter with Each Legendary Bird

The Dynamax legendary birds will appear in five-star Max Raids at Power Spots. Each bird will have its own week-long appearance:

• Dynamax Articuno: January 20th
• Dynamax Zapdos: January 27th
• Dynamax Moltres: February 3rd

Following their debut, each bird will remain available for a full week, giving trainers ample opportunity to catch them.

Exclusive Timed Research

A special "Legendary Flight Timed Research" event will run concurrently, providing chances to catch Pokémon (some with increased Shiny rates) useful for battling the legendary birds. You'll also earn Candy and Max Particles to power up your catches. The research event schedule (in local time):

• Dynamax Articuno: January 17th, 10:00 am – January 20th, 7:00 pm (featuring Charmander, Beldum, Scorbunny)
• Dynamax Zapdos: January 24th, 10:00 am – January 27th, 7:00 pm (featuring Drilbur, Cryogonal, Grookey)

Another Chance to Catch Victini!

Pokémon GO Tour: Unova is also underway! While the in-person event is location-specific, players worldwide can upgrade their free Tour Pass to a Deluxe Pass for enhanced rewards and faster progression. A free Tour Pass will be available on February 24th, 2025, at 10:00 am, allowing players to earn Tour Points and rank up for additional rewards until March 2nd, 6:00 pm (local time).

Upgrading to the Deluxe Pass grants immediate access to the Mythical Pokémon Victini and the Lucky Trinket. This item allows you to become Lucky Friends with another player, enabling a trade for a Lucky Pokémon (boosted stats and low power-up costs). The Lucky Friends status resets after the trade.

Deluxe Pass options:
