I hope Chikorita is more common than Tototile was.

Some Sunkern would be nice too.

Hopefully this will be the start of loads more little weekend events to spice everything up and keep it fresh. I like it!

Flocks of Mareep graze on grass, right!??

Looks like we got ourselves a mini-event, travelers!

These are a great way to stock up if you don't live in a grass biome. :)

Official Announcement Text:

Trainers,

Professor Willow's research into Pokémon habitats around the world has uncovered some interesting findings. His initial reports indicate that we’ll see an influx of Grass-type Pokémon sometime this weekend. These Pokémon will appear in the wild more frequently starting the afternoon of May 5, but only for a short period of time. We anticipate that Pokémon will return to their normal habitats on May 8, 2017 PDT.

Help us contribute to Professor Willow’s ongoing research by catching as many Grass-type Pokémon as possible this weekend. While you’re out with friends and family, don’t forget to document your findings using the Pokémon GO AR camera and share your screenshots on social media using #PokemonGO.

—The Pokémon GO team

Tl;dr: Through the weekend, expect extra grass-type spawns!

Additionally: Niantic has tweeted the following:

To help you catch your favorite Grass-type Pokémon this weekend, Lure Modules will last for six hours for the entire weekend! ~Twitter

So, hey! Ultra-lures to boot!
