Pokemon GO has announced the Adventure Week event, one of the first August activities available to trainers. Adventure Week is an event held annually by Pokemon GO that focuses on Rock-type and Fossil Pokemon. Last year's Adventure Week event marked the debut of Shiny Tyrunt and Amaura in Niantic's game, along with various other activities for trainers.

Rock-type Pokemon are known for being great defenders, and some of these critters, such as Gigalith, Aggron, and Tyranitar, can be found in Pokemon GO. Meanwhile, Fossil Pokemon are one of the most interesting aspects of the franchise, corresponding to a group of prehistoric creatures that can be revived using the right technology. These creatures are also present in Pokemon GO, and players can encounter some of the more popular names, such as Kabuto, Omanyte, and Aerodactyl. Now, Rock-type and Fossil Pokemon will be back in the spotlight with the upcoming Pokemon GO event.
