This week in Pokémon Go (13th to 19th April): Plan-et ahead

Things get busy with a handful of Pokémon debuts on Tuesday, and a hatch-heavy event at the weekend.

Welcome to the latest One More Catch weekly newsletter, offering you a guide to the week ahead in Pokémon Go.

There's plenty to look forward to. A packed 'Sustainability Week' features a triple whammy of debuts (and the return of dreaded biomes), plus there's the ever-enjoyable Hatch Day event on Saturday. And for the Gen 3 heads out there, Groudon is back in Raids.

So here's a snapshot of everything coming to Pokémon Go in the days ahead, the biggest opportunities available, and a roundup of Pokémon news and site updates you may have missed.

Format tweak

I'm experimenting with the newsletter by kicking off with a table showing each day's highlights at a glance. Let me know if it's useful, and whether you prefer it over the more in-depth, day-by-day breakdown I usually feature (which is still included in today's instalment). Comment on this post or drop me an email with any feedback - I'd appreciate it:
