The Noxious Swamp Event Is Now Live In Pokémon GO

The Noxious Swamp event in Pokémon GO takes one of the habitats from Pokémon GO Fest 2023: New York City and turns it into a global event.

With Pokémon GO Fest 2023: New York City turning the Five Boroughs into a haven of gameplay this weekend, Niantic is bringing the rest of the world in on the celebration. One of the main releases of the in-person, on-location GO Fest 2023: New York City event is Shiny Skrelp. Now, starting today, Trainers worldwide will be able to encounter Skrelp during its global Shiny release in the Noxious Swamp event. Let's get into the details.

Here's what's happening for the Noxious Swamp event in Pokémon GO:
