[Repost] [How to] Pokémon Go Event Calendar (Google Calendar, iPhone and probably more!)

Hello, a few years ago I created a Google Calendar that's shared with he community. To see the events in your personal agenda. As I'm not going to be active much on Reddit anymore, I'll put this post here as well. This calendar is being updated by someone else currenlty, but I still support when needed.

The below text is a copy/paste from the post in r/pokemongocalendar

Hi everyone!

A long time ago I posted a thread about a public Google Calendar for Pokémon Go events. At first this calendar was only available for CEST (UTC+2). However, a few days later I made a new post. In this post there were more calendars available for more time zones Just before Suicune Raid Day arrives! I got a lot of positive feedback from that post and it was well received.

Since then some things have changed again. New time zones have been implemented and it now also works on other devices and most likely apps too (I’ve tested some but can’t test them all so I will need your feedback again.) All time zones are named by their UTC offset. If you don’t know which calendar you should get google: “What is my time zone UTC”. Google will show you which calendar you should get.

First off, let me explain how it all works. There is one GLOBAL calendar for Multiple day events. It involves events such as the stardust bonuses and Friendship event. This calendar works for everyone. Then every time zone has its own calendar for single day events such as Suicune Raid Day and Community Days. The reason every time zone has a different calendar is because Google Calendar does not allow for “floating” starting times in Public Calendars. Because they are linked to the time zone of my account. If I were to move time zones, these events would “float” with me, however since I stay nice and cozy in my time zone it would show up wrong in other time zones. However, this is no problem for me, and all calendars will update automatically when I enter in new data and events.

Unfortunately, these single day event calendars are not compatible with Daylight Saving Time. This means that if your country switches from Summer time to Winter time. You will have to switch calendars to the correct time zone. (This means the only manual action you would need to do is twice per year if your country has daylight saving time.)

Now for the calendars, if you use Google Calendar follow the instructions below.

Advise: be on PC or laptop. (Sometimes Browser app in desktop mode works too, but PC/laptop is advised). Use the ‘Google Calendar’ links of the calendars you want to add. (Global Calendar and Your Timezone). When added on a PC/laptop, Open the Google Calendar app on your mobile device. --> Top right ‘3 buttons’ click ‘Refresh’ --> Open the left menu and scroll down to ‘Settings’ --> in your account click --> ‘Show More’ --> click on the Calendars you just added --> ‘Enable Sync’.

Now the calendars are synced to your device and new events will be automatically shown when I have added them.

If you use the Apple (iPhone) calendar app, use [THESE INSTRUCTIONS] with the iCal links of the calendars you want to add.
