Unlock Giovanni’s Radar: Earn the Super Rocket Radar via GO Pass in Pokémon GO
From the Steeled Resolve event, the Super Rocket Radar is earned through GO Pass: free radar by reaching Rank 30 in GO Pass Basic before May 4 at 8 p.m. local time, or upgrade to GO Pass Deluxe ($4.99) to get it instantly at Rank 1 (and, if you upgrade to Deluxe + 6 Ranks, another radar at Rank 30). New players can’t access Giovanni via Special Research anymore, so GO Pass is the sole route. Points toward Rank 30 come from raids (100 pts), hatching eggs (40 pts), and catching Pokémon (5 pts); during May 2–4 there’s no daily cap on points in this progression window.

Kalos Event PvE Guide: Eggs, Raids, and Shadow Power Plays
Road to Kalos Part 2 surveys the event’s PvE mechanics for eggs and raids from Feb 23–27, 2026, detailing which legendary and primal Pokémon appear in Five‑Star and Primal Raids (Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres; Lugia, Ho‑Oh; Primal Kyogre/Groudon; Origin Dialga/Palkia; Reshiram/Zekrom/Kyurem) and how their Shadow or Origin forms perform in PvE.

Dynamax Growlithe Debuts on Max Monday: Quick Guide for Feb 9, 2026
Growlithe becomes the first Dynamax boss in Pokémon GO during Max Monday on Feb 9, 2026 (6–7 pm local). It’s a Tier 1 Max Battle costing 250 Max Particles, and it can be shiny; the battle is solo-friendly but teams up to 4 players can coordinate. The guide covers optimal roles: attackers (e.g., Gigantamax Inteleon and other strong counters), defenders (Omastar, etc.), and healers (Blissey, Wailord, Snorlax), plus team composition (2 attackers, 1 defender, 1 healer). It explains core Dynamax mechanics (Max Meter charging, shield usage with Max Guard, healing via Max Spirit), dodging boss attacks, and strategies for efficient wins when teaming up.
Bilt adds tiered earning on housing payments, boosting points to 1.25x
Bilt is launching a tiered earning option in its 2.0 system that lets you earn up to 1.25 points per dollar on rent or mortgage payments, based on how much of your housing payment you put toward everyday purchases. When you select tiers, you won’t earn the Bilt Cash on everyday purchases for that month; you can switch monthly to the original 4% Bilt Cash structure if you prefer — the change takes effect the following month. The update applies to the three new Bilt cards (Blue, Obsidian, Palladium) and complements existing redemption options, adding flexibility for housing-related rewards.
