Pokémon Go’s “Yamper’s Paw Prints” event is all about puppy Pokémon and it runs from June 20-22, making it a very short event.
The event features doubled Stardust for catching Pokémon (which will overlap with the Jangmo-o Community Day event on Saturday) and debuts Yamper and its evolution Bolthund.
Below we detail the perks and bonuses for Pokémon Go’s “Yamper’s Paw Prints” event, including the Timed Research sets, boosted spawns, and Field Research.

‘Yamper’s Paw Prints’ premium Timed Research
