Stay tuned for a separate piece breaking down the event's raid rotation.

Overall, the best feature of the event is the global availability of Mime Jr. This Shiny-capable Baby Pokémon has previously been exclusive to Europe but will be hatchable throughout the event. Bonsly and Riolu are also major incentives to crack open 7 KM Gift Eggs so be sure to clear your Egg storage out today and don't spin any stops or open any gifts until the event goes live.

Here's what Niantic had to say about the event over at the official Pokémon GO blog:

Experience the Sinnoh region in an adventure reborn with Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Pokémon Shining Pearl! In celebration of the release of these games on Nintendo Switch, Pokémon originally discovered in the Sinnoh region will be appearing more often in Pokémon GO. Turtwig, Chimchar, and Piplup wearing special Sinnoh-inspired hats will be appearing in the wild, and avatar items inspired by those same first partner Pokémon will be available in the shop.
