Pokemon GOis currently hostingDragon Week Ultra Unlock 2020, which prioritizes the catching and collection of Dragon-type Pokemon. While this is great for players that like to train up and use these powerful Pokemon, there are plenty of other Pokemon types that deserve a special event as well later down the line.
Some Pokemon inPokemon GOcan and have taken advantage of holidays and real life events for special spawn events such as Ghost-types on Halloween. However, most Pokemon types don’t have great calendar-based opportunities for events like that.

Keeping the fact that Pokemon from generation 6 and onward are likely going to be added relatively soon, more Pokemon of certain types will have more variety, better justifying type events. These are some types that deserve proper events inPokemon GO.
Dark-Types
With the amount of times thatTeam GO Rocketbecomes involved inPokemon GO’s events, it’s surprising that there hasn’t been an event completely focused on the catching of Dark-type Pokemon.
There are plenty of Pokemon that can have increased spawn rates during this event such as Murkrow, Sneasel, Houndour, Zorua, Absol, and many more that deserve some sort of spotlight. New Dark-based parties for the admins running Team GO Rocket could make for more additions to the event as well. They could also additionally introduce shiny versions of certainDark-type Pokemonthat previous didn’t have their’s in-game yet.
Fairy-Types
As mentioned before, Pokemon from generation 6 are likely to be introduced toPokemon GOrather soon. Considering that Fairy-types were introduced in the Kalos region,more Fairy-typeswill also be added to the game as well.
With all this in mind, this would create the perfect opportunity to have an event that celebratesFairy-type Pokemonand making their spawn rates go up. Other Pokemon such as Eevee could also have heightened spawn rates so that players can more easily obtain Sylveon, which is a Fairy-type Eeveelution not yet added toPokemon GO.
Certain Fairy-types could greatly benefit from higher spawn rates such as Gardevoir and Togekiss, who both require high amounts of candies to completely evolve. Others such as Pokemon that will be added with the generation 6 update like Flabebe could help players catch more of the newer Pokemon when the update finally comes.
Electric-Types
Despite many events offering special hats for Pikachu, there haven’t been any events focused onElectric-type Pokemonin general. Of course, there’s no way that Pikachu would be left out of an electric themed event, but others would still get a chance to shine. There are plenty of eEectric-type Pokemon that require a lot of candies to evolve, so an electric-themed event would allow players to build up enough candies so they could be able to get powerful Pokemon such as Electivire, Magnezone, and Alolan Golem.
Possible event rewards could include special items such as magnetic lures or evolution stones for the Electric Pokemon that need them to evolve. APikachu with a hatalluding to other popular Electric-type Pokemon could work for it as a reward, such as a Raikou or Zapdos hat.
