A Pokemon GO player who left their Shiny Gible in a gym has realized that getting them back could prove to be a problem. They shared their thoughts with other Pokemon GO fans, who seemed largely sympathetic, and offered some idea of how long the player might have to wait. While it's not mandatory by any means, participating at Pokemon Gyms offers a lot of benefits to players. If a player comes across a gym that's controlled by another team, they can fight the Pokemon there to take over the gym for their own team. When happening upon a gym that's already controlled by one's own team, the player can choose to support the Pokemon there or add their own if there's a vacancy. This is what one player did far from home, only to realize that they might not get their rare Pokemon back.

Pokemon GO has announced the Sizeable Surprises event that will add shiny Wimpod, Kartana, and Celesteela. This year, Niantic has brought several additions to expand Pokemon GO's Pokedex, allowing players to find new monsters. And while the regular Pokedex continues to grow, Pokemon GO has also been expanding the list of shiny Pokemon that trainers can add to their records.
Players have seen several exciting additions, such as the debut of the Charcadet evolutionary line in Pokemon GO. Drampa and Enamorus debuted in February, and with Enamorus's arrival, it is now possible to find all four Forces of Nature in Pokemon GO. This year has also been productive for Pokemon GO players who collect shiny Pokemon, with the addition of critters such as Hisuian Typhlosion, Pachirisu, Chatot, and Rotom. With the start of the Verdant Wonders event, Pokemon GO got even more shinies, adding variants for all Flabebe's colors.
Pokemon GO has announced the Sizeable Surprises event, which starts on April 4 at 10 am and ends on April 9 at 8 pm local time. The big news of the event is the addition of shiny Kartana, Celesteela, and Wimpod, one of the Pokemon featured in Sword and Shield. Along with these three Pokemon, trainers will be able to find 11 other Pokemon in the wild, including Onix and Snorlax, with all except Tynamo and Cetoddle having a shiny chance. Among the bonuses available during the event, trainers will find shiny Wailmer, and XXS and XXL Pokemon in the wild.
During the Sizeable Surprises event, Pokemon GO players will see one- and three-star Raids, while the five-star Raids will be region-specific. Thus, players in the Northern Hemisphere will battle Kartana in the Northern Hemisphere, while trainers in the Southern Hemisphere will battle Celesteela, one of the Pokemon part of the Ultra Beasts group. The event will also feature Mega Raids with Mega Charizard X, Field Research with encounters with Cutiefly and five other Pokemon, new Collection Challenges, and Pokestop Showcases.
Pokemon GO has more than 800 shiny Pokemon that players can find through events, or in the case of the luckiest trainers, directly in the wild. Added to the 845 regular Pokemon that exist in Pokemon GO, Niantic looks to provide trainers with a fun experience, keeping the community engaged in capturing new creatures, joining events, and other in-game activities.
After a test run via an April Fools' joke on Google Maps, Pokemon GO was released to the public in the summer of 2016. The AR mobile app saw unparalleled success and continues to be one of the largest mobile games in the world, pulling in billions for developer Niantic.
