It's been a busy month for Pokemon GO trainers, but March is almost in the rearview mirror. As players continue working through the list of Weather Week tasks and unlocking those rewards, some fans may be ready to look forward to April and start planning next month's activities early.
Now that the full April 2021 Pokemon GO event calendar is published, trainers know that it's going to be another action-packed month of spring starting next week.

As Pokemon GO players are working through the long list of events during April 2021, they may also want to keep an eye on the Battle Raid schedule to see what powerful bosses are up for grabs.
