But now, players have a bit more to look forward to\u2014if they have the time. Niantic has released the full schedule of events in Pok\u00e9mon Go for February 2024, with many of them, including February Community Day and the Lunar New Year: Dragons Unleashed, having already been revealed in full. But a surprise is listed in the return of Elite Raids, this time welcoming the Legendary Pok\u00e9mon Enamorus in its Incarnate Forme to the mobile title. There has not been an Elite Raid in Pok\u00e9mon Go since the Regieleki rerun at the start of 2023. When Regieleki and Regidrago were added to the mobile title, it introduced the new Raid type to almost immediate dissatisfaction from fans. Not only are Elite Raids only held for one-hour intervals several times a day, but players are unable to use their Remote Raid Passes to join them, meaning the Pok\u00e9mon that appear in Elite Raids will oftentimes elude a majority of the player base who are unable to partake in them. The timing for nearly all of the Elite Raids thus far has also been problematic for a majority of players. Last year, Regieleki\u2019s Elite Raid day was held on Easter Sunday, while this year, Enarmous\u2019 Elite Raid day is on Valentine\u2019s Day\u2014both widely celebrated holidays where most people spend time with family and significant others. Though, thematically, having Enamorus in Elite Raids on this day makes sense due to the love it is known to bring, not having it available for more than one day will certainly increase its rarity\u2014and the displeasure of the community. Outside of the return of Elite Raids, February will also feature a plethora of Legendary Pok\u00e9mon from the Sinnoh region in five-star Raids and on Raid Days as we reach the start of Pok\u00e9mon Go Tour: Sinnoh.\u00a0Mega Raids will feature Mega Latios, Latias, Absol, and Garchomp, while Shadow Articuno joins the Shadow Raid lineup. Spotlight Hours will feature Dratini, Munna, and both Kantonian and Alolan Sandshrew with even more love expected to be celebrated during the Carnival of Love event on Feb. 13. As of now, it is unclear if Enamorus will be appearing outside of Elite Raids, or if its Therian Forme will become available at any time in the future. Players can look forward to the ongoing celebrations of the Sinnoh region of the past and present leading up to the start of Pok\u00e9mon Go Tour: Sinnoh on Feb. 24, featuring the debut of Origin Forme Palkia and Origin Forme Dialga.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Drampa-Pokemon-Go.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1113443"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1895"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1113443"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1113443\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1113507,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1113443\/revisions\/1113507"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1109726"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1113443"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1113443"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1113443"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1113443"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1113443"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1113443"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1113443"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

But now, players have a bit more to look forward to\u2014if they have the time. Niantic has released the full schedule of events in Pok\u00e9mon Go for February 2024, with many of them, including February Community Day and the Lunar New Year: Dragons Unleashed, having already been revealed in full. But a surprise is listed in the return of Elite Raids, this time welcoming the Legendary Pok\u00e9mon Enamorus in its Incarnate Forme to the mobile title. There has not been an Elite Raid in Pok\u00e9mon Go since the Regieleki rerun at the start of 2023. When Regieleki and Regidrago were added to the mobile title, it introduced the new Raid type to almost immediate dissatisfaction from fans. Not only are Elite Raids only held for one-hour intervals several times a day, but players are unable to use their Remote Raid Passes to join them, meaning the Pok\u00e9mon that appear in Elite Raids will oftentimes elude a majority of the player base who are unable to partake in them. The timing for nearly all of the Elite Raids thus far has also been problematic for a majority of players. Last year, Regieleki\u2019s Elite Raid day was held on Easter Sunday, while this year, Enarmous\u2019 Elite Raid day is on Valentine\u2019s Day\u2014both widely celebrated holidays where most people spend time with family and significant others. Though, thematically, having Enamorus in Elite Raids on this day makes sense due to the love it is known to bring, not having it available for more than one day will certainly increase its rarity\u2014and the displeasure of the community. Outside of the return of Elite Raids, February will also feature a plethora of Legendary Pok\u00e9mon from the Sinnoh region in five-star Raids and on Raid Days as we reach the start of Pok\u00e9mon Go Tour: Sinnoh.\u00a0Mega Raids will feature Mega Latios, Latias, Absol, and Garchomp, while Shadow Articuno joins the Shadow Raid lineup. Spotlight Hours will feature Dratini, Munna, and both Kantonian and Alolan Sandshrew with even more love expected to be celebrated during the Carnival of Love event on Feb. 13. As of now, it is unclear if Enamorus will be appearing outside of Elite Raids, or if its Therian Forme will become available at any time in the future. Players can look forward to the ongoing celebrations of the Sinnoh region of the past and present leading up to the start of Pok\u00e9mon Go Tour: Sinnoh on Feb. 24, featuring the debut of Origin Forme Palkia and Origin Forme Dialga.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Drampa-Pokemon-Go.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1113443"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1895"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1113443"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1113443\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1113507,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1113443\/revisions\/1113507"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1109726"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1113443"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1113443"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1113443"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1113443"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1113443"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1113443"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1113443"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
