Pokemon Go’s Season Of Alola Event Is Closing With A Finale

Pokemon Go is in the middle of celebrating its Season of Alola event, which features Pokemon first introduced in Pokemon Sun and Moon. Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end… before the next season of content starts.

The event is currently ongoing, but will come to a close with a finale event between May 25 and May 31. During that time, players will be able to perform unique research and unlock exclusive avatar items and in-game bonuses.

Now is the time to track down the Pokemon Sun and Moon starters, Popplio, Rowlet, and Litten.
