Niantic, the game studio behind Pokemon GO, has just announced that one of the title’s most popular events will be back for seven days starting next week. The Pokemon GO Eggstravaganza will start on April 16 at 1:00 pm PDT and should end on April 23 at 1:00 pm PDT.

Pokemon GO veterans will be happy to know that during the event, many rare Pokemon will be available in 2 km Eggs such as Pichu, Smoochum and Magby, while Egg-focused Field Research will be available to complete.

Obviously, that’s not all, as developers announced that every egg hatched during the event will also include bonus Candy that will help players to boost their newly hatched Pokemon. One other rare Pokemon – Buneary will join the even, and if you’re very lucky, you’ll be able to encounter its Shiny form.

To sum it up, for exactly a week starting April 16, Pokemon GO players will receive bonuses (2x Hatch Candy, 2x Incubator effectiveness, Lucky Eggs will last twice as long) and a chance to catch rare Pokemon (Pichu, Smoochum, Magby, and Shiny Buneary). Make sure to turn on Adventure Sync to benefit from these prizes throughout the Eggstravaganza event.
