Adventure Week is easily overlooked, but is actually one of the longest running events in Pokemon Go history. Traditionally focused around Rock Types, XP gains, and Candy acquisition, it's been a huge resource opportunity for a lot of players since its inception, and the starting point for a lot of Fossil Pokemon in Pokemon Go. While not quite as exciting as it once was, this is still an event worth taking part in.

In a groundbreaking new development, Mega Tyranitar will also emerge for the first time in Pokémon GO. Be sure to take on this colossal power in Mega Raids during the event!
