Pokémon GO: How to make Pikachu, Petilil and Ducklet fly | Fourth Anniversary Events Guide

If you're eager to catch Pokémon in party hats or Pokémon that can fly abnormally, then you'll want to tune into the weekly Fourth Anniversary Events on Pokémon GO. Each week there will be different timed searches - the more trainers from each of the three teams complete the search, the more unique Pokémon species will be released. It's all part of the big event, and even if you don't participate in the timed research, you'll still find special Pokémon hatching or appearing in the wild.

There's a lot to cover for the big fourth anniversary event, so we'll try to summarize as best as possible below. For all the information you could possibly use, check out the Fourth Anniversary Announcement on the Niantic Blog and the Fest Site here.
