Everything you need to know about the event, all in one place. A lot of these pieces will be verified by the Silph Research Group, so throughout the post we'll use the formatting:

• Italics: Reports from comments or single Research Group report
• Bold: Multiple Research Group reports

Also note that (s) will be used for species whose shiny form is available, and (s?) for new shinies that we haven't seen yet.

This verification isn't meant to replace reports here, rather to provide an extra level of verification and depth to the event. Travelers are always welcome to join here and help out with data collection: https://discord.gg/WpAvRRsaRT

Have fun and stay safe this week!
