Daily Discoveries

Daily Discoveries will continue throughout the Forever Forward season.

Unless otherwise stated, Daily Discoveries will be active from 12:00 a.m. to 11:59 p.m. local time.

The Daily Discovery lineup and bonuses will be updated for the Forever Forward season. As Niantic continues to experiment and improve the feature, Daily Discoveries may change over time.

Stay tuned for details on the specific Daily Discoveries available each day of the week.

* Please note that Daily Discoveries will not be available during the week of the global GO Fest, GO Wild Area, and GO Tour events.

Sunday

Double-Time Sunday will be replaced by Scenic Sunday during the Forever Forward season.

Scenic Sunday focuses on Routes and rewards Trainers for exploring while following them.

More Pokémon will appear while following a Route
Incense will attract even more Pokémon while used on Routes
Reduced distance required to earn Buddy Candy while exploring Routes with your Buddy Pokémon
Mateo can be encountered up to three times per day while on a Route

This makes Sundays a stronger day for Route exploration, Buddy Candy progress, and Mateo encounters.

Monday

Fast-Track Monday will be removed during the Forever Forward season, but Max Mondays will continue.

Max Mondays will keep the following bonuses:

Power Spots will refresh more frequently
Additional Power Spots will be active on Mondays compared to the rest of the week
Max Battles will rotate to feature different Dynamax Pokémon

Max Battles will be available from 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. local time. Power Spot availability will be limited outside of Max Mondays and Max Battle Days.

Tuesday

Showcase Tuesday is getting a new bonus during the Forever Forward season.

On Showcase Tuesdays, Trainers will be able to enter up to five PokéStop Showcases at the same time, giving more opportunities to compete for top placements and earn rewards.
