Pokémon Go is hosting its 2023 “Psychic Spectacular” event from Sept. 20-24. As the name suggests, the event boosts the spawn rate of psychic-type Pokémon and adds Timed Research and Collection Challenges that feature powerful psychic-types.

Notably, Solosis will be available shiny for the first time, so keep your eyes out for that if you’re interested in a special little ... blob-cell-thing.

Shiny Solosis, Duosion, and Reuniclus in Pokémon Go. Solosis and Duosion are a slightly darker green and Reuniclus gets a blue gel around it with green features.

In addition to that, there’s also increased XP for successful catches with curveball throws, and some other perks, which we list out below.
