Pokemon GO has announced the event A Valorous Hero, which will be the debut of Mega Pinsir in Niantic's game. May is just beginning, but Pokemon GO already has some events confirmed. Thanks to this, Pokemon GO players have something to look forward to, and the expectation that even more content is on the way.
One of these events is the May Community Day featuring Fennekin. Pokemon GO players can catch Fennekin, evolve the fox Pokemon, and unlock special moves. The Second event is Raid Day, which will be Kleavor's debut in Pokemon GO. The Bug/Rock-type Pokemon discovered in the Hisui region featured in Pokemon Legends: Arceus will appear in three-star raids, with lucky players being able to find a shiny Kleavor.

After Pokemon GO revealed An Instinctive Hero, the event centered on Team Instinct, the game announced the event A Valorous Hero centered on Team Valor. The event starts on May 11 at 10 am and ends on May 17 at 8 pm and will be the debut of Mega Pinsir in Mega Raids, with shiny chance. The event will give double Candy for capturing Pokemon, and players from level 31 and higher will have a double chance to earn Candy XL by capturing Pokemon. A Valorous Hero will feature one-star raids with Hisuian Growlithe, Galarian Ponyta, and Hoothoot. Three-star raids will feature Galarian Stunfisk, Druddigon, Hisuian Braviary, and Hisuian Avalugg. The event will also feature five-star raids with Tapu Fini.
Mega Pinsir is the newest Mega added to Pokemon GO, which already has other popular Pokemon like Mega Charizard. The event A Valorous Hero will also have a Special Research, rewarding players with an encounter with Ponyta wearing a Candela-themed accessory. Timed Research will give Pokemon GO players a Fast TM and a Charged TM. By completing Field Research tasks, players will get Stardust, Revives, Hyper Potions, and an encounter with Ponyta. With the Team Valor event announced, players now expect the Team Mystic event, the third faction in Pokemon GO.
Pokemon GO continues to add events with significant frequency, which is good news for players. On the other hand, some Pokemon GO players are speculating that these events are a "smoke screen" to divert the focus from this year's controversies. Niantic denied the Pokemon GO revenue drop reported this week, but since the studio has not presented its data, players are debating whether the statement is true or false.
Pokemon GO is available on Android and iOS.
