Niantic has announced that Pokemon GO is bringing back its Psychic Spectacular event this week, taking place from September 6 at 10:00am local time to September 12 at 8:00pm local time. In the past, Pokemon GO has used special events to debut new Pokemon or highlight a specific Pokemon type, and that's exactly what Niantic will be doing when the Psychic Spectacular event starts on September 6.

As one might imagine, the Pokemon GO Psychic Spectacular event will focus primarily on Psychic-type Pokemon, with Psychic-types appearing more frequently in the wild while the event is live.

Field Research task rewards, meanwhile, can consist of Psychic-type Pokemon like Baltoy, Chimecho, Elgyem, and Hypno.

Notably, Pokemon GO players will also have the chance to encounter Mega Alakazam in raids, a first for the game.
