It's time for a week full of battles and challenges, as Pokémon Go Rivals Week 2024 brings a mix of improved spawns, raids, and research featuring Pokémon known as Rivals, for the most part.

Pokémon Go Rivals Week 2024 runs from May 4 to May 9 at 8:00 p.m. local time, coinciding with the May Go Battle Weekend on May 4 and 5. During this event, you’ll see several species of Pokémon known as Rivals, such as Zangoose and Seviper, appear in the wild and conduct raids for a limited time, spawning with each other every two days.

Exclusive Field and Timed Research are also available to complete for even more bonus rewards and event-themed Pokémon encounters. So, while you'll be focusing on using your fists, here's a full event guide for Pokémon Go Rivals Week 2024.

Pokémon Go Rivals Week 2024 runs from May 4-9 and is a bit odd because there are only a few Pokémon that have lore based on being rivals, whether that be based on their species or training habits. Despite this, there will be some nice event bonuses available, the biggest of which is the increased Shiny odds for several of the featured Pokémon.
