Glittering Garden Event Begins Today In Pokémon GO: Hidden Gems

The Glittering Garden event begins today in Pokémon GO, giving players at home a chance to catch Petilil, the new GO Fest 2023 Shiny.

Shiny Petilil debuts this weekend at Pokémon GO Fest 2023: Osaka and London, but that doesn't mean that those playing outside of the event will be out of luck. Starting today, we're getting a standard in-game event focused on Grass-types and Fairy-types that will see the release of Shiny Petilil along with its Pokémon GO Fest 2023 debut. This event will also feature Dedenne, whose Shiny was released in another recent event. Let's get into the details of the three-day Glittering Garden event launching today.

Here's what's happening for the Glittering Garden event in Pokémon GO:
