Pokémon Go ‘Summer Concert’ event guide

Pokémon Go is hosting a “Summer Concert” event from July 19-22, though the event perks will only actually be active from 5-8 p.m. each day in your local time. As part of the event, music composed by Junichi Masuda will be playing during the short time the bonuses are active, giving the feel of an actual in-game concert.

During the event period, lures will last for one hour (instead of 30 minutes) and they’ll attract some specific Pokémon. There’s also an increased chance to find Chatot shiny — which is notable since Chatot is usually a regional Pokémon. This event is pretty barren when it comes to perks, which makes sense, as the 2025 “Water Festival” event is still running during part of the “Summer Concert” event duration.

You can see the other bonuses for Pokémon Go’s “Summer Concert” event below.

Pokémon Go ‘Summer Concert’ event Field Research and rewards

Spinning a PokéStop during the event period may yield this task:

• Make five great curveballs in a row (Spinda encounter)

Note that there are eight different variations of Spinda to encounter, so even if you think you’ve already completed one of these tasks, it may be worthwhile to complete more of them to get more variations. Here’s what the available Spinda look like:

Note that there is a ninth Spinda with a heart-shaped marking, but this version is not available during this event.
