It is time for Trainers of Pokemon Go to rock and roll and rise to the top as the open-world augmented reality will have its "Mountains of Power" event as part of their ongoing Seasons of Power.
The said limited timed event will give them the opportunity to catch Rock and Steel-type Pokemon, all of which they will encounter either in the wild or in Raids.
Aside from that, they will also get a 1/2 walking distance bonus in order to earn heart with their Pokemon buddy while walking with them.
Spark’s intuition led Professor Willow and the other team leaders to discover new parts of the puzzling door. What could they be, Trainers? 🤔
