It looks like we’ll be getting a solar switch in Pokemon GO.

The equinox marks when the plane of Earth’s equator passes through the center of the Sun and the angle of the sunlight changes.

Pokemon GO will be theming their next event around this which will switch the hemispheres where Lunatone and Solrock appear and remain in those new hemispheres after the event.

Grass types will also be appearing more during this event.

Read the full announcement below.

Trainers,

With spring days arriving in the northern hemisphere and autumn quickly approaching in the southern hemisphere, it’s the perfect time to celebrate the coming equinox with some Grass-type Pokémon.

Date + Time Mar. 19, 2019, at 1:00 p.m. PDT to Mar. 26, 2019, at 1:00 p.m. PDT (GMT −7)
