Pokemon GO Mountains of Power Event Announced, Mega Aerodactyl Debuts

Niantic is gearing up for a new event called Mountains of Power, which continues the Season of Heritage. Niantic teased, “Spark’s intuition leads him to believe that the mysterious door’s second mechanism requires the help of Rock- and Steel-type Pokémon to unlock it. Journey through terrain reminiscent of the mountains found in regions like Johto and Sinnoh, and work with Spark to unlock the next mechanism!”

This should be an interesting and fun event, as Mega Aerodactyl will make its debut, and players will have a chance to encounter a Shiny Slugma in Pokemon GO for the first time. Zubat, Machop, Geodude, Nosepass, and Barboach will also be appearing more frequently in the wild, and Alolan Geodude, Onix, Ursaring, Donphan, Medicham, Absol, Beldum, Bronzor, and Heatran will be headlining raids.

During the event, players will receive a bonus of 1/2 walking distance to earn hearts with your buddy. Players can also take on Timed Research focused on catching Pokemon, hatching Eggs, and earning Buddy Candy, and these tasks can be completed to earn encounters with Pokemon like Mawile and Beldum.

The Mountains of Power event for Pokemon GO will begin January 7th, 2022 at 10am and last until January 13th, 2022 at 8pm your local local time.
