The Pokemon Go Evolving Stars event is an extension of the Season of Light that will celebrate the phenomenon of Pokemon evolution and put the spotlight on Cosmog, as well as a popular Mega Pokemon. In addition, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Pokemon Go trainers will also have event-exclusive Field Research to complete a😼nd cert🍌ain Pokemon to catch.

Thankfully, this handy gui💃de will help all Pokemo🀅n Go trainers navigate through the Evolving Stars event in its entirety.

Evolving Stars Event Start Time 

The Evol🌠ving Stars event in Pokemon Go begins Wednesday, October 5 at 10 a.m. local time to Tuesday, October 11 at 8 p.m. local time𓆏.

How to Get Cosmoem in Pokemon Go 

The Season of Light brought the Leg𝓡endary Pokemon Cosmog into Pokemon Go. Trainers who complete the A Cosmic Companion Special Research Storyline will be rewarded with 💦the small Psychic-type Pokemon.

But, as Pokemon aficionados know, Cosmog can evolve. In fact, it can evolve a number of times and in a number of ways. With the start of the Evolving Stars event, trainers will finally be able to evolve Cosmog into its middle stag﷽e, Cosmoem.

To evolve your C♛osmog, trainers must use 25 Cosmog Candy on the Pokemon. This new Psychic-type still won’t be ab🙈le to evolve into its final form but we’re guessing that’ll be saved for another time.

Also, if you’re worried about evolving the one Cosmog♏ you have, Niantic has teꦑased that trainers will be able to capture more Cosmog in the future. So stay tuned.
