Here are the details you need for the upcoming Pokemon GO event.

The Season of Legends is proving to be a very busy, and exciting time for Pokemon GO players.

The season has ushered in a range of new wild Pokemon, regular Raid Boss changes and different research tasks. Trainers are also able to take part in tons of different events.

Alongside the usual Community Day and Spotlight Hours, Niantic has already given us "Searching for Legends" and we're now about to enter our second major event of March, Charge Up.

This new event will focus specifically on Electric-type Pokemon. Here are all the details you need to know about the Pokemon GO Charge Up Event.
