Kanto Celebration dates and times in Pokémon Go explained

The Kanto Celebration in Pokémon Go is a limited time event carrying on the celebrations from Pokémon Go Tour: Kanto. Unlike the previous event, however, all of Kanto Celebrations features will be available to every Pokémon Go player.

The Kanto Celebration event, and its timed research quest, will run from Sunday, 21st February at 10am (local time) to Saturday, 27th February at 8pm (local time).

The Collection Challenges continuing on from Pokémon Go Tour: Kanto will, however, be available till Sunday, 28th February at 7:59pm, giving you enough time to finish the challenges if you so wish.

The Kanto Celebration Event timed research quest consists of four steps, which each contain three individual challenges and you'll be rewarded for each challenge and full step you complete. Since this is a timed research quest, it will vanish once the questline is completed, so you need to complete it before the event ends if you wish to earn all of the rewards.

Hope you enjoy the Kanto Celebration event!
