Niantic is specifically focused on encouraging players to take action alongside us to support a more sustainable future.

As you plan your weekend, please adhere to local policies, guidelines, and restrictions regarding travel. Please be aware of your surroundings and follow guidelines from local health authorities when playing Pokémon GO. Upcoming events are subject to change.
