Get ready for some excitement, trainers! Starting Thursday, September 26, 2019, Pokémon Go trainers will be able to participate in a special World Tourism Day event. This event is due to a partnership between Niantic Inc. and the United Nations and the World of Tourism Organization (UNWTO). The UNWTO is an agency that promotes sustainable and universally accessible tourism. This event will start on Thursday, September 26, at 1 p.m. PDT and go through Tuesday, October 1, at 1 p.m. PDT.
Trainers will be able to pick up a new UNWTO shirt from the Style Shop. Additionally, Pokémon that usually only show up in specific regions will be showing up in Eggs. This includes Farfetch'd, Kangaskhan, Tauros, Heracross, Corsola, Volbeat, Illumise, Torkoal, Relicanth, Pachirisu, Mime Jr., Chatot, Pansage, Pansear, Panpour, Heatmore, and Durant. Mime Jr hasn't previously been available in Pokémon Go, so trainers should be especially excited to catch one.
In addition to these typically region-locked Pokémon, trainers might be able to come across new Shiny Pokémon that haven't been available in Pokémon Go before. Keep your eye out for Shiny Zangoose, Shiny Seviper, or Shiny Mime Jr. Additionally, trading will cost 1/4 less Stardust, you'll be able to earn twice as much XP by spinning at PokeStops you've never been to before, and there will be special Field Research tasks available for a limited time. Get out and have fun, but remember to be safe!
