Pokemon GO spring event introduces new Bug types to the mobile game

The Pokemon GO spring event is just around the corner, bringing two new Bug types and a costume for Eevee and Pikachu to the mobile game

The Pokemon GO spring event is just around the corner, bringing two new Bug types and a special costume for Eevee and Pikachu to the mobile game. The Spring into Spring event starts April 4, 2023, at 10 a.m. local time and runs through April 10 at 8 p.m. local time.

The Bug/Fairy types Cutiefly and Ribombee will appear once the event starts and remain in the game after it ends.

While the event runs, you may encounter members of the Pikachu and Eevee families wearing a special cherry blossom outfit. These Pokemon may even be Shiny, and if you end up with a Shiny Pikachu or Eevee in the cherry blossom costume, they retain their shininess and costume if you evolve them.

These Pokemon will appear more often:

Pikachu (cherry blossom)
Eevee (cherry blossom)
Buneary (flower crown)
Jigglypuff
Marill
Whismur
Bunnelby
Cutiefly

Flower crown Togetic and Chansey have a chance of showing up too, and all except Cutiefly have a chance of being Shiny.

On the raid side, you might run into flower crown Togetic and Chansey in 3-star raids. Expect Lugia to show up in 5-star raids and Mega Lopunny on Mega Raids.

Finally, you have a higher chance of hatching these critters from 2k Eggs.

Togepi (flower crown)
Pichu (cherry blossom)
Eevee (cherry blossom)
Happiny (flower crown)
Munchlax
Riolu
Cutiefly
Azurill

If you’re keen on new avatar items, you can pick up some springy, Happiny-themed pieces of clothing in the in-game store too.

Pokémon Go Ditto – Shiny Ditto, how to catch

Catching Ditto in Pokémon Go is required to complete Special Research tasks – this guide explains where the creature is hiding in 2023.

Ditto is one of the most mysterious monsters in Pokémon – numerous theories surround the origin of the tiny pink slime. One of them suggests that Ditto is a remnant from the cloning experiments that created Mewtwo from the genes of Mew. Wherever the truth may lie, you’ll need to catch Ditto in Pokémon Go to solve some Special Research tasks, including those on Mew and Meltan.

The catch: you’ll never be able to discover Ditto just like that on your screen because it’s always creeping around hidden – in the form of other Pokémon species. Which Pokémon you should catch in 2023 to catch Ditto and Shiny Ditto is explained in this guide.

Pokemon GO Valentine’s Day adds Mega Gardevoir, Shiny Tapu Lele

The upcoming Pokemon GO Valentine’s Day event adds Mega Gardevoir, new Shiny Pokemon, and a Furfrou form to the mobile game

The upcoming Pokemon GO Valentine’s Day event adds Mega Gardevoir, new Shiny Pokemon, and a Furfrou form, alongside a new move for Gardevoir or Gallade you obtain during the event. The Mythical Wishes Valentine event runs from Feb. 8, 2023, through Feb. 14, 2023, with a special Luvdisc Research Day planned for Feb. 11, 2023, with an increased chance of finding Shiny Luvdisc.

During the Mythical Wishes event, you can encounter Mega Gardevoir for the first time in Mega Raids. Kirlia you evolve into Gardevoir or Gallade will learn the new move Synchronise as well, and you can encounter Gardevoir and Gallade in raids after the event who will know the move.

Complete the Lovely Wishes timed research to earn either extra candy or extra XP and a chance to encounter Shiny Frillish. This is the first time Frillish’s shiny form will be available in the mobile game.

For the event’s duration, you can change your normal form Furfrou to heart trim Furfrou. You also have a higher chance of finding Furfrou – possibly a Shiny one, at that – along with Flebebe, Skitty, Illumise, both Nidoran genders, and Woobat, all of whom except Flebebe may be Shiny. Less common finds include Shiny Chansey, Audino, and Alomomola.

Finally, on the Raid front, you may encounter Shiny Tapu Lele in 5-star Raids, the first time this Pokemon’s Shiny variant has shown up.

The Pokemon GO blog has the full list of events and special appearances. If you’re attending the Pokemon GO Hoenn Tour, keep an eye out for Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre as well.

Pokemon GO adds Primal Groudon and Kyogre in new Hoenn event

Niantic is adding Primal Pokemon to Pokemon GO in the mobile game’s new Tour Hoenn event, but not everyone can join in

Niantic is adding Primal Pokemon to Pokemon GO in the mobile game’s new Tour Hoenn event, the publisher announced in a new blog post, but not everyone can join in at first. Game Freak introduced Primal forms in Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire for the Nintendo 3DS as new variants of Kyogre and Groudon, but, perhaps on account of the feature only applying to two Pokemon, it’s yet to appear in GO.

If you’re in Las Vegas in February, though, you’ll finally get to transform your Kyogre and Groudon into their Primal forms. During Pokemon GO Tour Hoenn: Las Vegas, players can encounter Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre during special raids, so make sure your Raid team is up to the task.

Defeating them increases your Primal Energy reserves, and once you have enough stored up, your Kyogre or Groudon can revert to their Primal forms.

The state lasts for eight hours, and the amount of energy required drops with each successive transformation. Both Pokemon know special moves and grant buffs to certain Pokemon types in raids or make it easier to find them in the wild.

If a stop in Sin City isn’t on your itinerary for the month, Niantic is planning more opportunities during Pokemon GO Tour Hoenn – Global later in 2023. During the event, players can complete special Primal Research tasks to generate Primal Energy for their Pokemon.

New Pokemon GO event adds Mega Salamence and more

The Pokemon GO Twinkling Fantasy event brings a new Mega Evolution and a chance to find some rare Dragon and Fairy Pokemon

Twinkling Fantasy, the next Pokemon GO event, is coming up fast and Niantic promises a chance to catch Mega Salamence, along with some rare Fairy and Dragon-type Pokemon as well. Pokemon GO Twinkling Fantasy starts Jan. 10, 2023, at 8 a.m. local time and runs until Jan. 16, 2023, at 10 p.m. local time.

During the mobile game‘s new event, you have a chance of finding Mega Salamence, a Dragon-Flying hybrid, in Mega Raids, and if you’re especially lucky, it might even be Shiny. Zekrom will also show up in 5-star Raids, with Druddigon in 3-star Raids. Zekrom will stick around in 5-star Raids until Jan. 18, 2023.

This main attraction accompanies the usual event perks, such as increased XP bonuses and more candy if you time your throws well.

On the catching side, you have an increased chance of finding certain Fairy types, including Clefairy, Marill, and Dedenne, and select Dragon types, such as Dratini and Deino. Some of these may also be Shiny, and there’s an even rarer chance of encountering Shiny Noibat or regular Goomy.

The event comes with a new set of field research tasks, as always, and when you take a picture during the event, you might have a surprise encounter with a random Dragon or Fairy type.

Pokemon GO: the best Pokemon for raids of every type

Pokémon GO raids can be quite chaotic with a huge variety of opponents you could be facing. We’ll make sure you’re prepared for battle

If you’re trying to build the best possible team – either for PvE or PvP – you’re going to have to create something very versatile. Between GO Battle League and all the raids we get treated to, there is simply no “one size fits all” solution to taking them down. Be it because of stat requirements, category restrictions, or just the plain typing of your opponents. This is why it’s much better to have at least one Pokémon of every type that’s battle-ready, so you can face whatever comes your way.

We’re going through each Pokémon type and picking out the best monsters for raids. We’re skipping Normal-type though, as they lack type advantages, so aren’t ever particularly useful. We’ve also combined Ghost and Dark-types, as they go hand-in-hand for our purposes.
