Pokémon GO Travel Event + Pokémon Bank Update

Niantic has officially announced the Pokémon GO Travel event!

From now until to November 26th, trainers across the globe must work toward the goal of collectively catching 3 billion Pokémon in Pokémon GO! As the week progresses, and more ‘mons are caught, rewards will start to roll out: At 500 million Pokémon caught we’ll get 2x Experience, 6 hour Lure Modules and an increase of worldwide spawns. At 1.5 billion, we’ll get the previosuly mentioned bonuses plus 2x Stardust and even more increased spawns. And if we reach our goal of 3 billion we’ll get all the aforementioned rewards plus Farfetch’d will spawn worldwide for 48 hours (Kangaskhan will spawn in East Asia as compensation)!

If the below infographic isn’t your style you can check out the fun video Niantic put together for the event, or read their official blog post.

In main game news, (much to our surprise) Pokémon Bank is already compatible with Pokémon Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon! Requiring 516 block, version 1.4 of the application is now available for download via the eShop. Along this, compatibility for transfers from Pokémon Gold & Silver can now be made in Poké Transporter.

What will be the first Pokémon your transfer to your new Ultra Sun or Ultra Moon games? Excited to finally add Farfetch’d to your Pokédex in GO?

  1. So since I was never really that excited about USUM, since I never saw a reason to drop 50 bucks on a game that seemed only marginally different (though I’ve heard good things), looking forward, the next big game is gen 8/ switch and I’m thrilled. It might be too soon to get excited, but news will be dropping about the new starters, region, legendaries, titles, evil team, and more in the coming months and that is always such a great time for me. I look forward to things in life all the time but adding Pokémon news/ rumors to the daily excitement is such a blessing.

  2. I love it when I set up, they have a mon that directly counters me, I point it out to them out of pure pity and they LITERALLY DON’T EVEN SWITCH TO IT

  3. So far all I’ve done in US is try to organize my competitive Pokemon and hatching eggs for the IV checker, I still need a full set of synchronizer and nature dittos

    I have them in Sun but…would I ever need to go back in there ever again?

  4. Trying to make a new name for my Dark/Flying Regional Bird Storkder, cause I found out a Murder is a group of Crows. So I’m thinking about Storkill, Storkiller or something like that. Any suggestions?

  5. SOMETHING IS WRONG
    I left my Necrozma in Evelup for the necessary 63 sessions to max out his SpAtk and it’s saying it only went up by 114

    Granted I haven’t developed it but that still shouldn’t mean the time needed changed OR HAS IT

  6. Well all I need left is
    My team of nature dittos and 9 everstones
    Syncronizers
    False Swiper
    Skill Swapper
    Frisker
    And maybe a flashier Egg Nanny either a Magcargo or Camerupt

  7. Damn I tried to fight Hala, but I’m going to need more might

    My team was
    Furball who evolved into Torracat lvl.18
    Lola the Buneary lvl.16
    And Dusty the Rockruff lvl.16

    Lola and Dusty got taken out in one hit each by Machop and Furball beat Machop and Makuhita, but didn’t stand a chance versus Crabrawler.

    I think I’ll train the team a bit more than go back to it
