Another month, and in-game season, have arrived and it's time for Pokemon GO trainers to power through some exciting new events. The developers have some big events planned for March 2022 that will help kick off the Season on Alola. The end of the Season of Heritage was a very popular time for the mobile AR game, so this month has some big shoes to fill.
The entire Pokemon GO March 2022 events calendar is officially live and players can find out what kind of special activities and holiday events are on the way for the third month of the year. Players already knew that there was going to be a kickoff event for the Alola season, but otherwise March has been a bit of mystery. There aren't any major national holidays that usually take the spotlight in PoGO during March, so this month will be full of unique standalone events instead.
The Season of Heritage is coming to a close at the end of February and players should be preparing for a brand-new era in the mobile AR game based on PoGO's early 2022 roadmap. The Festival of colors event should help provide some exciting action when it arrives and many players still working on completing their pokedex will want to keep an eye out for the Lush Jungle event that fans are learning about for the first time...

Once again, it sounds like players are in for a pretty busy couple of weeks when the new month arrives. Trainers should check back closer to each event's start time for a full list of tasks and rewards to help determine where the most value can be found in March. Be sure to keep an eye on the today view in the app and wrap up any final February items over the next few days as the remaining events wrap up and March events go into full swing.
That should be just about everything players know about the upcoming month, but we should learn more about other upcoming events during the early days of the Season of Alola. Be sure to check back in the near future for more Pokemon GO strategy guides, news, and updates. Until then, good luck out there, trainers!
