Quick tips to make the most of April 4’s time window

Since the event lasts only from 14:00 to 17:00 (local time), it’s a good idea to plan which Gyms to visit and prioritize raids during that time frame.

Make the most of:

• The options to add up to six free passes per photo discs.
• The rotation of disguised species to complete your Variocolor goal, since they have more chances.
• The portion of the day when the 20 remote passes limit is active, so you can coordinate distant raids.

What to do as soon as the event starts

If your goal is to maximize opportunities, start by spinning Gym photo discs to get the event passes, then jump into raids with the disguised Pokémon listed.

With the clear time window (14:00–17:00 local time) and the bonuses active only during those hours, adjust your route so you don’t leave rewards unused.
