Pokémon GO: Groudon as raid boss and Shiny Diglett added for limited event

Following a successful Earth Day cleanup event throughout April, Niantic is rewarding its users with high-frequency spawns of ground-type Pokémon, higher item rewards and a legendary Pokémon.

As reported by GameSpot , about 14,800 people participated in the events. Overwhelmed by the response, Niantic is running a ground-type event for a limited time. This means ground-type Pokémon including Diglett, Geodude, Sandshrew, Cubone, and others will start appearing more frequently. Players have the chance to stumble upon Shiny Diglett as well. Legendary Pokémon Groudon will show up in raids as a Tier 5 boss. Finally, players will also get additional bonuses including two times the Candy and Stardust. Do note these bonuses will only apply to Pokémon that appear during the event.
