If you want to figure out what type of event a specific event on LeekDuck.com/events is, use your browser's dev tools to determine what class is setting the background color of that event. The class name is the same as the event type (except for pokemon-go-fest and pokemon-spotlight-hour, where the accented "é" is replaced with "e").

Note for Start/End dates

The start and end fields are DateTime objects encoded in ISO 8601.

Most events in Pokemon GO occur based around a user's local timezone. However, there are also some events that happen at the same time globally.

If an event starts/ends at the same time globally, the start and end fields will have strings ending with "Z", signifying the DateTime is in UTC. Otherwise, the DateTime displayed is based on the user's local timezone.

Depending on the use case, many parsers (ex: Javascript's Date.parse()) will handle this automatically.

Extra Data

For some event types, it would be useful to have more information that what's provided in the title and heading of an event.

As of now, the following event types have extra data:
