Pokémon Go Tour: Hoenn is here for players around the world, and it is going to be running its in-person content first in Las Vegas as a ticketed event on Feb. 18 and 19. But Niantic is running some additional content for global players who can’t attend the physical event.
While the players in Las Vegas will be the first to encounter Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre as they make their Pokémon Go debuts, players around the world will get to prepare for their arrival with some of Hoenn’s other standouts.
Primal Rumblings is a leadup event to Go Tour: Hoenn — Global on Feb. 25 and 26, which will feature a number of rare Pokémon first featured in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire such as Treecko, Torchic, Mudkip, their evolutions, and more. The event will run from Feb. 22 to 24, though various pieces of it have already begun ahead of Go Tour: Hoenn — Las Vegas.
