Pokémon GO Fest 2024: Global is quickly approaching, but don't forget that there is one more on-location, in-person event happening before the remote version of the event. Pokémon GO Fest 2024: New York City is happening this weekend. However, not everyone can make it. The new Shiny Pokémon released during the event, Shiny Ducklett, will also be available globally as part of the tie-in event Aquatic Paradise now live.

Here's what's happening for the Spelunker's Cove event in Pokémon GO:
