The Festival Of Lights 2023 Begins In Pokémon GO: Adventures Abound

The Festival of Lights 2023 begins today in Pokémon GO, introducing the new Paldean species Tadbulb as well as Shiny Morelull.

The first Pokémon GO event of November 2023, the Dia de Muertos 2023 event, has wrapped up. If you missed the cempasúchil crown-wearing Cubone and Duskull, your best bet is to hope for another chance next year. November is just getting started, though, and we already have a new event kicking off with a new species drop and a Shiny release. Today, the Festival of Lights begins in Pokémon GO.
