From 10am local time on June 12 to 3pm local time on June 13, five-star raids and Mega Raids will be appearing more frequently. All players will earn double capture Candy from those raids and any players who are trainer level 40 or higher will have triple the chance to earn Candy XL. 

This special weekend will take place during the A Very Slow Discovery event, which runs from June 8 to 13.
