Space-Time Anomaly Schedule

Space-Time Anomalies do not appear to follow any pattern so it is not really possible to predict when the next one will occur. Some observations so far:

  • Space-Time Anomalies last one hour.
  • Space-Time Anomalies have not occured back to back
  • The minimum time between Space-Time Anomalies has been 3 hours so far.

Although I cannot predict the next Space-Time Anomalies, you can refer to the following for the previous 8 that have happened. I will try my best to keep this updated.

If you want a way to be notified of an Anomaly happening in-game, you can try setting a Pokédex alert for a Pokémon exclusive to Anomalies like Magnemite, Cranidos or any of the listed Pokémon. However Pokédex alerts aren’t a guarantee.

Confirmed Space-Time Anomaly Times

Times shown in your local timezone. These are confirmed starting times that have been observed. They end after 1 hour.
Confirmed times only. Anomalies last for 1 hour each.
