May should be an exciting month for Pokémon GO players. The Luminous Legends X event will bring new creatures to capture, such as Xerneas, the Fairy-type creature from the Kalos region. Plus, other Pokémon like Spritzee, Swirlix, and Goomy will also make their first appearance.
Apart from the new Pokémon, the event will have exclusive tasks, items and other features. Read below for a complete list of what to expect.
Event details
