Announcement of Free Diancie
Pokémon Go Trainers are in for a treat this May as Niantic announces the arrival of the Mythical Pokémon Diancie through a special event. Starting May 1, 2024, at 10:00 a.m. local time, Trainers can participate in the Special Research story “Glitz and Glam” which will be available to all players for free. This Special Research does not expire, allowing Trainers to complete it at their own pace.
Understanding Diancie: A Mythical Pokémon
Diancie, known as the Jewel Pokémon, is a dual-type Rock/Fairy Mythical Pokémon introduced in Generation VI. It is celebrated for its unique ability to Mega Evolve into Mega Diancie, making it the only Mythical Pokémon with this capability. Diancie is characterized by its sparkling pink crystalline body and is considered a sudden transformation of Carbink. It is a rare and sought-after Pokémon, cherished for both its beauty and battle prowess.
How to Get Your Free Diancie
To claim your free Diancie, engage in the “Glitz and Glam” Special Research starting in May. Complete the tasks to earn an encounter with Diancie. For those who have already accessed the Pokémon GO Fest 2023–exclusive Special Research, completing the new Special Research will reward you with Diancie Candy instead. Additionally, themed Field Research tasks will be available from May 1 to May 3, 2024, offering Diancie Mega Energy and encounters with Carbink.

Additionally, the Diancie-Themed Field Research tasks, which provide Diancie Mega Energy and encounters with Carbink, will only be available from May 1 to May 3, 2024.
Player Expectations and Predictions
The Pokémon Go community is buzzing with expectations and predictions for the Free Diancie event. Many players are looking forward to adding this Mythical Pokémon to their collection, while others are curious about the potential challenges that the Special Research tasks might present. There is also speculation about whether this event could signal a trend of more Mythical Pokémon being made available through similar means in the future.
Significance of the Free Diancie Event
The significance of the Free Diancie event extends beyond the addition of a new Pokémon to players’ rosters. It represents Niantic’s commitment to keeping the game fresh and engaging for its dedicated fan base. By offering a Mythical Pokémon for free, Niantic is also making a statement about accessibility, ensuring that all players, regardless of their level of investment in the game, have the opportunity to experience the thrill of capturing rare and powerful Pokémon.
The Free Diancie event is a shining example of how Pokémon Go continues to evolve and offer exciting opportunities for Trainers around the world.
