1. the changing of the beast
The Legendary Beasts have migrated! They continue their world tour in new locations for the month of October. Suicune is now journeying in Europe and Africa. Raikou is now roaring in Asia and Australia. Entei is now heating up the Americas. You have until Halloween to catch the Beast currently in your area, so get Raiding!
2. a new promotion at sprint stores
The description of Sprint PokéStops have changed again! Joining Sprint will now give you a free GO Plus. Sprint stores now have limited Pokémon GO phone skins, but only for a certain amount of time.
NOTE: This is not an endorsement for Sprint, nor an (paid or unpaid) advertisement for them.

3. The latest glitch: green-screen capturing
Earlier this week Trainers were reporting a glitch involving the Bonus Challenge of Raids. The screen would go completely green after hitting the "Go To Bonus Challenge" button. We have not experienced this glitch since the reports came out, which may mean Niantic has fixed this. But keep this glitch in mind when you enter a Raid with a short amount of time left.

5. server issues lead to an event extension
The servers were down or unstable for the majority of Tuesday. Trainers using both Google and PTC accounts struggled to login in throughout the day, and there was insufferable lag for those who did get in. Niantic has since fixed this issue, and have extended the Equinox Event by 24 hours. The event now ends on October 3, at 1:00 P.M. PT.
6. the Wave of EX Raids for the week
EX Raid Passes were distributed globally this week! Areas of the world previously excluded, such as Australia and the UK, were given access to the Passes. The EX Raids are also no longer exclusive to sponsored Gyms, meaning Raiding to your new Beast to your heart's content will have a chance to earn you a new Pass.
7. final day for events in sun & moon
Currently there are two ongoing events for Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon, both of which end tomorrow. First of which is an event in the Bank that allows for access to Mewnium Z. This Item is a Z-Crystal that allows Mew to use its exclusive Z-Move (Genesis Supernova). The second event is this week's Ash-hat Pikachu from the Hoenn region. Remember, it is only one of these special Pikachu per game, so the PIKACHU20 code won't work if you already have the original-cap Pikachu. The Sinnoh-cap event will begin immediately after the Hoenn-cap event ends.
