During the event, Poké Balls will clutter the map, causing chaos and confusion. Help clean up the mess, and discover what surprises await!

It may be April Fool’s, but these featured Pokémon are no joke.

Lastly, a special Spotlight Hour will take place from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. During this time, Pokémon in the wild will appear as Poké Balls. Trainers can tap the Poké Balls to reveal a Pokémon or get a Poké Ball, Great Ball, or Ultra Ball.

Try not to get fooled on April Fool’s, Trainers!
