Running from Tuesday, May 18th to Monday, May 31st in Pokemon GO is the Luminous Legends Y event. It will begin at 10:00 AM on the event's start date and end at 8:00 PM on the end date all in players' local times.

With Xerneas making its premiere in the Luminous Legends X event in Pokemon GO, the Luminous Legends Y event serves as the premiere of Yveltal. However, the event won't be entirely focused on this legendary Pokemon, with the timed research tasks being mostly related to Team GO Rocket and the Shadow Pokemon.
