According to The Silph Road subreddit, the code hinted of a new event type named "ONE_YEAR_ANNIVERSARY," which is not impossible considering that "Pokémon Go" debuted July 6 of last year. If the code is any indication, then the next in-game event that trainers should look forward to is the first anniversary celebration of the game.
As of now, the data miners have not yet discovered any other new code that may be related to the event so it remains to be seen what the anniversary event will be all about. However, there are speculations that its goal is to encourage current players to play more and get non-players to try the game.
Some also speculate that "Pokémon Go" might unveil a new Pikachu variant. This came after Niantic revealed its plans to release a "rare Pikachu" in a recent computer graphics conference. According to the game developer, they might launch the new variant this month, which happens to coincide with "Pokémon Go's" anniversary month.
There are also rumors that Niantic might release a new Shiny Pokémon. If that happens, then this new Shiny Pokémon will be joining Shiny Makigarp and Shiny Gyarados in the game.
Since "Pokémon Go" was launched July 6, fans can expect Niantic to officially announce the upcoming event in the next few days.
