The Festival of Colors 2023 event has begun in Pokemon Go, bringing with it a Collection Challenge and some event-exclusive Field Research tasks to complete.

It’s time to celebrate all things colorful, as the popular Festival of Colors event has returned to Pokemon Go. As well as the debut of Bruxish, players will be able to take part in a themed Collection Challenge.
