The Pokemon Company and Niantic are definitely reading our minds. They have seen that Trainers are pleading to have another go at the Psychic Spectacular as their latest event on their popular Augmented Reality game, Pokemon GO. Like in any Pokemon GO event, there are Event Bonuses, Timed Research, Collection Challenges, and Pokemon Raids that will provide significant benefit to Trainers who are looking to either increase their team's level, Trainers who are collecting Pokemon that aren't included in their PokeDex yet, as well as casual Trainers who are just really in it to have fun and enjoy the whole spectacle of the event. The Pokemon GO Psychic Spectacular event happens this September 20 to 24 and details are all listed below.
A Psychic Spectacular Showcase of Pokemon
Event Effects
During the event, certain effects are boosted in the game to celebrate Psychic Type Pokemon at Pokemon GO's latest event, Psychic Spectacular. In this particular event, Curveballs would be the key to capitalize on and it would definitely play a great role in the Psychic Spectacular. Make sure to throw Curveballs at any Pokemon you see as this is part of the whole event's mechanic.

In any Pokemon GO event, you will always find event-exclusive Field Research available for completion. Each task yields good rewards for Pokemon Trainers who get to complete the requirements.

Timed Research Introduced in the Event
Among all the Psychic-type Pokemon that are featured in the Pokemon GO Psychic Spectacular event, Solosis is definitely the star. This simple task of throwing Curveballs seems easy but don't forget that this is a timed research and has to be completed within the timeframe provided. The best way to go at this is to go into a location where a lot of Pokemon spawn and place a lure to have them pop up everywhere. Complete all the required number of Curveball throws, catch Solosis, earn candies, and evolve Solosis further into the game!

The Collection Challenge is something that we haven't seen in a while during Pokemon GO events. This time around, Trainers get to experience it yet again during the rerun of the Psychic Spectacular event. The objective of this task is pretty simple and straightforward – All you have to do is to capture specific Pokemon during the event, these are Ralts, Abra, Slowpoke, Galarian Slowpoke, and Meditite. Evolve them into their 2nd stage and final stage evolutions to be able to complete the task and collect the rewards that it has waiting for you. It will usually yield you Stardust and experience but the really important thing that you should be after for this challenge would be the 100 Mega Energy that you will get to collect for these strong Psychic-type Pokemon namely Gardevoir, Alakazam, Slowbro, and Medicham.
