Here's what's happening for the Dancing in the Moonlight event in Pokémon GO:

Date and time: Saturday, October 4, at 10:00 a.m. to Wednesday, October 8, 2025, at 8:00 p.m. local time in Japan, Taiwan, Korea, Indonesia, and Singapore.
Event bonuses:
- Boosted Clefairy: During the event, Clefairy will appear in large numbers in the wild for five minutes at 1:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. each day. Clefairy can be Shiny. There is no word on whether it will have a boosted Shiny rate, so it's a safe assumption that it will not.
- Daily Adventure Incense is more likely to attract Clefairy
Free Timed Research:
- 4,050 XP
- 4,050 Stardust
- Encounters with event-themed Pokémon, including Umbreon wearing a moon scarf (can be Shiny), Teddiursa (can be Shiny), Lunatone (can be Shiny), and Bunnelby (can be Shiny)
