Hidden Gems

**Hidden Gems** was the eleventh Season in *Pokémon GO*. From Hidden Gems onward, damage dealt participating in Remote Raid Battles are increased to the same amount of damage dealt in raids in-person. Legendary Shadow Raid Battles were introduced on Saturdays and Sundays. Also, Field Research tasks began to rotate Seasonally rather than monthly. Spinda task will still rotate monthly.

## Trivia

* Due to an issue where trading any Pokémon evolved in 2023 was miscategorized as a Special Trade, the Seasonal bonus from "one additional Special Trade per day" was changed to "three additional Special Trades for a total of four per day" from June 10th to 14th.
