The Legendary Flight event culminates with the debut of Dynamax Moltres. From 06:00 PM to 07:00 PM on February 3, Dynamax Moltres will appear as a Max Monday boss at all Power Spots. After this initial hour, it will remain available until February 9, though it will be less widespread as other Pokémon like Squirtle, Krabby, and Sobble also feature as Max Battle bosses until February 10. Finding Moltres might require some exploration, but Trainers will have ample time to locate this legendary firebird.
Karrablast & Shelmet Community Day: February 9

On Sunday, February 9, from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM local time, Pokémon GO hosts a dual Community Day for Karrablast and Shelmet. This event offers increased encounters, providing ample opportunity to gather Candies. Evolving Karrablast or Shelmet by February 16, 2025, at 10:00 PM will grant you an Escavalier with the Charged Attack Razor Shell or an Accelgor with Energy Ball, respectively. Additionally, the odds of finding Shiny versions are heightened during this event. For an easier grind, you can purchase premium Timed Research for US$2.00 (or the equivalent in your local currency).
