Pokémon GO February 2026 events calendar: GO Tour Kalos Global, Dialga/Palkia raids, Vulpix Community Day, Flamigo debut. Complete schedule, shiny odds, raid bosses—plan your grind now.
Pokémon GO February 2026 events lineup hits like a fully charged Focus Blast, closing out the Season of Precious Paths with non-stop shiny opportunities, legendary raid rotations, and the massive GO Tour: Kalos Global weekend finale that could be the biggest ticketed event since 2020’s big tours. Niantic dropped the full calendar January 30, and it’s stacked—casual players get easy shiny grinds while raid addicts circle weekends for Dialga, Palkia, Solgaleo, and Lunala solos or with Discord crews. Whether you’re XL candy farming or hunting that elusive Klefki shiny, February rewards showing up.
I’ve been spinning PokéStops since day one, and this feels like peak GO—back-to-back events mean constant bonuses without burnout gaps. The Road to Kalos week teases regional nostalgia before the main Tour, while daily raid rotations keep gyms hot. Let’s break down every hour you need to block.
GO Tour Kalos: February’s Crown Jewel
GO Tour: Kalos – Global (Feb 28–Mar 1, 10am–6pm local) steals the show—$9.99 ticket (or free base access) unlocks three rotating habitats (Coastal, Countryside, City) packed with Kalos debuts: Klefki, Hawlucha, Honedge line, Flabébé forms, and Shiny Diancie exclusive for pass holders. Niantic promises “highest shiny rates ever” for Tour exclusives, plus avatar items and stickers. Free players still score regionals and increased spawns.
Road to Kalos (Feb 23–27) preps perfectly—daily wild spawn rotations (Kanto 23rd, Johto 24th, Hoenn 25th, Sinnoh 26th, Unova 27th) with costumed Pikachu variants in Red/Leaf hats. Stock candy for evolutions; Adventure Effects boosted.
Local GO Tours hit Tainan (Feb 20–22) and Los Angeles (20–22) for travelers chasing region-locked encounters.
