Catch Mastery – March 5
The first Pokemon GO event of March 2023 is Catch Mastery. This one-day event is taking place on March 2023 and features Hitmontop, Hitmonchan, and Hitmonlee.
This event will also feature Timed Research which requires getting nice, great, and excellent throws!
Festival of Colors – March 8-14
The Festival of Colors event is returning to Pokemon GO in March 2023.
Niantic has not announced what is in store for this year’s festival, but last year saw all of the different colors of Oricorio make their debut in Pokemon GO. Let’s hope for another bright addition to the Pokedex this time too!
Elite Raid – March 11
Elite Raids are returning to Pokemon GO for the first time this year in March 2023, and there will be two new Raid bosses to battle!
The new Elite Raids on March 11 will feature Regidrago and Regieleki. This will be the first time players can catch these new Legendaries in Pokemon GO!
Check out our Pokemon GO Elite Raids guide to find out more about these limited-time battles!
The March 2023 Pokemon GO Community Day features Slowpoke as well as its Galarian regional variant.
It is taking place on March 18, so make sure to add the date to your diary if you’re in need of Slowpoke Candy or want to catch a shiny Slowpoke!
Let’s GO! + Team GO Rocket Takeover – March 21-29
Niantic has not revealed anything about the Let’s GO event in Pokemon GO yet, however, judging by its name, we expect it’ll feature Meltan!
Team GO Rocket will also be making a return during this event, so be ready for a battle!
GO Battle Day: Palmer – March 25
On March 25, 2023, the GO Battle Day: Palmer will let Pokemon trainers compete in the GO Battle League for exclusive rewards.
There will be a Timed Research that will reward players with gloves inspired by Palmer from Pokemon Diamond and Pearl.
A number of exciting Legendary and Mega Pokemon will also be available to battle this month. Check out the March 2023 Mega and Legendary Raid Schedule to find out which bosses you can battle and when!
