Welcome to the latest One More Catch weekly newsletter, offering you a guide to the week ahead in Pokémon Go.
It's a Bank Holiday weekend here in the UK, meaning this newsletter has been largely written in advance so I can spend my Easter Sunday and Monday scoffing down chocolate eggs. Hopefully Niantic hasn't dropped any major news since scheduling - especially as this week is already looking on the quiet side, despite featuring one of the most anticipated Community Days in some time.
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 you may have missed.
One More Catch's weekly newsletter is open to sponsorships! Want word of your game, product, or business to reach a group of ardent Pokémon fans? Get in touch!
