Pokémon Go is hosting a “Galarian Expedition” event from Oct. 4-11, permanently bringing some new shiny Legendary Pokémon into the game via Daily Adventure Incense, alongside other event bonuses.
Shiny Galarian birds Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres can be found for the first time while using Daily Adventure Incense. Zamazenta (Hero of Many Battles) is also returning to raids during this event and it’s able to be found shiny for the first time.
There’s also a new paid Master Ball ticket, if you wanted to buy another Master Ball.
