Pokemon GO's Season of Legends has felt like a non-stop barrage of events since it began all the way back in March.

We've had Charge Up, Searching For Legends, Pokemon GO Snap Celebration and many, many more.

Now, however, players have something to look forward to as we're on the precipice of a very exciting event - Luminous Legends X.

The event has a major focus on two very rare Pokemon types - Fairy and Dragon and will see a bunch of new Pokemon released. Here are all the details you should know ahead of the new Pokemon GO Luminous Legends X event, including start time and more.

Pokemon GO Luminous Legends X Event Start Date and Time

Players looking to get stuck into this brand new event, fortunately, won't have too much longer to wait.

It kicks off worldwide on Tuesday, April 4 and players will be able to take part from 10 am in their local time zones.

It's a fairly lengthy event and will run for just under two weeks, finishing on Monday, May 17 at 8 pm local time.
