The first massive Pokémon Go event of 2023 is finally here, with players traveling to Las Vegas getting the first crack at Pokémon Go Tour: Hoenn right before it hits the global stage a week later—bringing with it the first appearances of Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre. But that also means players will want to see the full event schedule and plan out their approach.
Because there is an in-person and digital global event for Go Tour: Hoenn, it is being split between two weekends, with a smaller connecting event called Primal Rumblings running to keep things rolling leading into the global event.
Players in Las Vegas got first dibs on all of the new Go Tour content on Feb. 18 and 19, but now it is time for the global event on Feb. 25 and 26.
Just like with most of these big Pokémon Go events, players will see habit rotations in play that will swap which Pokémon are spawning more frequently in the wild each hour. There are also two Primal Surge habitats that tie into the Ruby vs. Sapphire Challenge running between players picking different versions.

In addition to the four regular habitats that will rotate each hour, Niantic is dropping the Primal Surge habitats.
