The latest Pokémon Go event featuring Rayquaza and Pokémon powered up by the high winds is set to end very soon. Trainers will want to take advantage of the double experience points and the increased egg hatches for some rare Pokémon before the event concludes. Here's all the details you'll want to know.
WHEN DOES THE WINDY EVENT END?
The windy event in Pokémon Go is set to end on March 16. No time was specified by Niantic but past Pokémon Go events tend to end around 4 p.m. EST. There's an actual countdown clock that trainers can head to if they want a minute-to-minute update on the end time which currently predicts the end of the windy event to be 5 p.m. EST on Friday, March 16.
WHAT TO DO BEFORE EVENT ENDS
So what should Pokémon Go players do before the event ends on March 16? The most obvious is to take advantage of the double experience and go catch Pokémon, spin some PokeStops and hatch as many eggs as possible. The double experience events in Pokémon Go are a great way to level up your account especially when you are hovering in the 20s and 30s.
Pokémon Go players will also want to receive and hatch as many possible before the wind event ends. Rayquaza defeated Groudon and Kyogre in the competition leading up to this event so the types of Pokémon that hatch from eggs have changed. Flying, Dragon and Psychic-type Pokémon are more likely to hatch in eggs obtained between March 5-16. Trainers looking for Bagon, Swablu and Beldum should get outside and start walking.
