Pokémon Go Pokopia Celebration event guide

Pokémon Go is celebrating the launch of Pokémon Pokopia, with a celebration event running from March 10-16. This event features the debut of Ditto in a hat (a white hat with yellow details) and Ditto in a cap (a white hat with blue details), so if you love costumed Pokémon, this is your chance to grab a nifty Ditto.

Additionally, you'll get doubled XP from spinning PokéStops and 10x XP for your first spun PokéStop of the day. This event also has a specialized Ditto disguise change-up, meaning that Ditto will turn into specific Pokémon, though seemingly only during this event. Ditto seems to be able to disguise itself as nearly all of the boosted spawns. Notably, this costumed Ditto can be shiny!

Below we list all of the event perks for Pokémon Go's "Pokémon Pokopia Celebration Event," including the boosted spawns, Timed Research, Collection Challenge, and Field Research.
