Pokémon Go ‘Powerful Potential’ event guide

Pokémon Go’s first event of the “Might and Mastery” season is “Powerful Potential,” which runs from March 5-10.

The “Powerful Potential” event adds Charcadet’s shiny form and adds it to a few more egg pools for a limited time. To further encourage players to get hatching, hatch distance has also been reduced to half if you put eggs in Incubators during the event.

Alongside this event, the first two steps of the seasonal “Might and Mastery” Special Research have also been added to the game.

Below, we list the perks and bonuses associated with Pokémon Go’s “Powerful Potential” event.

Pokémon Go ‘Powerful Potential’ event egg hatches

Part of the hype of this event is the fact that Charcadet is now available shiny and it’ll be hatching out of two, five, seven, and 10 km eggs — but it’s in a pretty diluted pool, as you still have a high chance of getting another seasonal Pokémon from the egg.
