Pokémon Go’s “Into the Depths” event features underground Pokémon like Diglett and runs from Jan. 27 until Feb. 1. This event also features the debut of Glimmet, the mysterious ore Pokémon.
This event features a tripled XP bonus from completing Routes as well as halved egg hatch distance for any eggs put into Incubators during this event. Glimmet is a Route-based Pokémon, though it’ll show up in this event through research tasks as well.
