All Habitat Rotation Collection Challenges, schedules, and encounters for Pokémon Go Fest 2023 Global

Pokémon Go Fest 2023 is at its climax, which means players only have one more chance to take part in the festivities on Aug. 26 and 27. This includes the various Habitat Rotations that are going to bring different Pokémon spawns and bonuses throughout the event. 

There are plenty of Pokémon you will want to track down during the Habitat Rotation, such as four unique, crown-wearing Pikachu that can only be encountered in their respective habitats—and don’t sleep on some of the rare spawns like Goomy, Heracross, and Carnivine either. 

Full Habitat Rotation schedule for Pokémon Go Fest 2023: Global

Just like with basically every other event Niantic uses Habitat Rotations in, each individual habitat will start and end exactly on the hour throughout the duration of the event during your local timezone. Go Fest Global does have a set schedule, however, with each habitat rotating through twice.
