Here’s everything we know about the event, including dates, times, and more.

At the launch of the event, players will be able to evolve Cosmoem into Solgaleo during the day or Lunala at night.

To evolve, players must have 100 Cosmog Candy.

The Astral Eclipse event will also add more tasks to the “A Cosmic Companion” Special Research story, which will presumably be how players gain more Cosmog candy.
