If you're in NYC between July 5th and 7th, you cannot miss the festivities set to take place on Randall’s Island Park.

The Aquatic Paradise event in Pokémon Go will take place from July 6th to 9th. It aims to bring some of the water-type Pokémon from the NYC event to the rest of the world. So, you can expect to see a bunch of themed Pokémon running around in the wild, including Horsea, Staryu, Wingull, Ducklett, and more.

Plus, there’s also 2x XP being awarded for catching Pokémon, so make sure you go around throwing a Poké Ball on anything that moves.
