The Luminous Legends Y is officially rolling out in Pokémon Go, meaning players will now be encountering an increased number of Dark-type Pokémon and other species that were previously featured in the Luminous Legends X event.

From May 18 to 31, Luminous Legends Y will be split into two parts that will focus on drastically different elements, with Yveltal and Sylveon being the headliners for each respective period. 

Part one, which will run from May 18 to 24, will focus on Team Go Rocket’s efforts to try and capture Yveltal while the legendary beast is appearing for the first time in five-star raids and Dark-types become more common. Part two will run from May 25 to 31 and feature Sylveon appearing in the game for the first time, finally completing the Eevee evolution line and bringing more Fairy-types to the event. 

There will also be various event-exclusive Field and Today’s View Research to complete, along with a new Global Challenge centered around defeating 25 million Team Go Rocket Grunts.
