Pokemon Go to Host Surprise Event This Weekend

Pokemon Go is hosting a Special Raid Weekend this week, complete with several can't-miss bonuses. Pokemon Go announced a surprise Special Raid Weekend event for June 12th and June 13th. The event will feature an increased number of raids appearing at Gyms, including the Legendary Pokemon Regice, Registeel, and Regirock, who are all appearing in the game through June 17th. The event will also feature several two Candy related bonuses. All players will get twice as many candy for catching Pokemon. Additionally, players Level 40 and up will also have three times the chance to get XL Candies for catching Pokemon. Please note that players won't receive an increased number of XL Candies for catching Pokemon - they're just more likely to receive them when catching a Pokemon.
