by

I’m so excited for the upcoming carnival in Pokemon GO! They’re introducing Flamingo, which is a Flying and Fighting type Pokemon, and it looks amazing! Not only that, but there are tons of rewards, bonuses, and even a special Timed Research to complete. It’s going to be a really fun event!

This guide covers everything you need to know about the Pokémon GO Carnival of Flamigo event. We’ve included a complete walkthrough of the Timed Research, with all the steps and tasks, so you can earn all the rewards!

Pokemon GO Carnival Of Flamigo Event Time & Date

The Pokémon GO Carnival of Flamigo event begins on Tuesday, February 3rd at 10 AM and runs until Sunday, February 8th, 2026, at 8 PM in your local time. This gives players ample opportunity to prepare to catch the new and popular Flamigo Pokémon from the Paldea region, which is making its first appearance in the game, along with a variety of other Pokémon appearing in the wild.

  • Lotad
  • Buneary
  • Pikipek
  • Spritzee
  • Flamigo (debut)

Keep an eye out for Shiny versions of most Pokémon during the event – all except Flamigo have a chance of appearing! Shiny odds will be increased, making it easier to find them and complete your collection, trainers!

Bonuses & Rewards

Throughout the event, players will get a boost in several areas, making it easier to level up their trainers, find more Pokémon, and collect the resources needed to strengthen their teams. Here’s what to expect:

  • 2× Incense duration.
  • 2× Daily Adventure Incense duration.
  • 500 Additional Stardust for catching Flamigo.
  • Increased chance to encounter Shiny Lotad, Shiny Spritzee, and Shiny Pikipek.

Timed Research, Field Tasks & Collection Challenge

The Pokémon GO Carnival of Flamigo event will feature new Field Tasks and Collection Challenges focused on Lotad, Spritzee, Pikipek, and Buneary. Currently, we only know the rewards will include Stardust, XP, and potentially encounters with special Pokémon related to the event. However, these details are subject to change, so it’s best to wait for the event to start for confirmation.

Field Tasks and their rewards will likely be similar to what players are used to – things like catching a certain number of Pokémon or spinning PokéStops. Completing these tasks will give players a chance to encounter Pokémon related to the current event, and some of those encounters could even lead to finding a shiny Pokémon.

If you don’t like a Field Task, you can re-roll it for a different, potentially easier one. Just go to the Field Research & Task section in the game’s menu.

The event will also feature a special timed research that you can complete for free. Completing it will reward you with items like Incense, XP, event-themed Pokémon encounters, and Stardust, among other things.

We’ll be adding details about the event’s steps and prizes here as things get started. Please come back to check for updates!

A paid ticket is available which unlocks a special timed research quest. Completing this quest will give you bonus rewards, including a Star Piece and a unique avatar pose. This premium quest costs $4.99 (or the equivalent in your local currency).
