Niantic has announced a partnership between Pokémon Go and McDonald’s. It’s exclusively available in the US, and will reward you for visiting nearby sponsored PokéStops and Gyms while visiting the fast food restaurant.

While the event is active, you can encounter more Pokémon near McDonald’s thanks to sponsored Lure Modules. You can also participate in five-star raids at nearby Gyms.

The event isn’t active constantly though. You can only gain the bonuses between 6:00 PM – 7:00 PM local time each day, and only on select days. Let’s take a look at the full event schedule.
