Pokemon Go's next event has allegedly been leaked and it's a doozy. The Pokemon Go fan page "Team Eeveelution" claims that Pokemon Go will
hold a Fire-Type and Ice-Type event to commemorate the upcoming
solstice, which marks the beginning of summer in the Northern Hemisphere
and the beginning of winter in the Southern Hemisphere.
Although
we typically take these leaks with a grain of salt, Team Eeveelution
has a proven track record of being right. The group previously leaked
the Water Festival event back in April. Their source appears to be
linked to Pokemon Go's social media accounts, as they appear to have the full social media post for the event.
So what will the next event entail? We've got a full rundown below:
Similar to previous events, Pokemon Go will increase the spawns of certain types of Pokemon. However, for the upcoming Solstice event, Pokemon Go will
increase the spawn rates of two different types of Pokemon for the
first time ever. According to the leak, both Fire-Type and Ice-Type
Pokemon will start spawning all over the world at the start of the
event.
Pokemon
involved in the event will include Charmander, Cyndaquil, Growlithe,
Vulpix, Houndour, Ponyta, Magmar, Cloyster, Sneasel, and Swinub. Like in
previous events, their evolutions will also start spawning with
increased frequency as well.
Here's the full leaked promotional text:
Trainers around the world will discover more Charmander, Cyndaquil,
Growlithe, Houndour, Ponyta, Swinub, Vulpix, and their Evolutions.
You’ll also want to keep an eye out for Sneasel, Magmar, Cloyster, and
other Fire types and Ice types!
Pokemon Go is
also giving big XP bonuses....but only for completing certain tasks.
While past events gave out "Double XP" for everything trainers did in Pokemon Go,
players will only get extra XP related to Poke Ball throw bonuses. That
means that players will receive even more XP for catching a Pokemon
with a Nice, Great, or Excellent Poke Ball throws, catching a Pokemon on
their First Poke Ball throw, or for successfully catching a Pokemon
with a Curve Ball. Players will also get an XP bonus for every Egg they
hatch.
As of right now, we don't know if Pokemon Go will give out double XP for throw bonuses or if they'll up the XP amount by even more.
Of course, Pokemon Go events are also a chance for Niantic to make some extra money on in app purchases. For the Solstice event, Pokemon Go is
discounting Lucky Eggs by 50% to help players take advantage of the
extra XP bonuses. Lucky Eggs will double a player's XP for 30 minutes,
so players can stack the event's XP bonus with the effects of the Lucky
Egg.
The
Fire and Ice event will take place from June 13th through June 20th.
While you'd expect a solstice event to start on the actual solstice, Pokemon Go probably wants to space the event out a bit from the anticipated "Birthday Event" to commemorate Pokemon Go's launch date in early July.
If the leak is accurate, we should expect an official announcement later this week. So stay tuned, Pokemon Go fans!
The Pokémon Go craze has definitely fizzled out over the last year or so, with several key promised features still not released yet, but lapsed trainers now have a reason to reinstall the game again. This week, new “field research” quests add narrative to what has largely been a player-driven multiplayer experience thus far. “A series of mysterious happenings is occurring all over the world, and Professor Willow is seeking trainers to help him found out if this is connected to the mythical Pokémon Mew,” Niantic said in an update post . “These research tasks will become available to trailers around the world later this week!” There will be two different categories of research during the event: “Field research” and “special research.” The former type can be triggered by visiting Pokéstops, and will task trainers with completing raids or gym battles or catching a certain type of Pokémon. Special research missions are longer, with trainers having to complete several ...
The Guardian Tapu Pokémon are Sun and Moon's version of the typical sub-legendaries that have been a new-generation staple ever since the Legendary Dogs Suicune, Raichu and Entei, way back in gen two. They're some of the best Pokémon in the game, thanks to dedicated Z Moves, abilities, and excellent stats, and so well worth your time. Each Tapu acts as a guardian for it's own island - Tapu Koko for Melemele, Tapu Lele for Akala, Tapu Bulu for Ula'Ula , and Tapu Fini for Poni Island - and are all found in their island's corresponsing ruins: the Ruins of Conflict , Ruins of Life , Ruins of Abundance , and Ruins of Hope , respectively. A final warning, too: the Tapu are only catchable after you've completed the main storyline of Sun and Moon, and so major spoilers follow below. Check out our complete Pokémon Sun and Moon walkthrough if you're still trying to finish it! Where to find and how to catch Tapu Koko - the Ruins of Conflict Tapu Ko...
Trainers, in the past few hours, some trainers have reported receiving a very curious email Newsletter from Pokémon GO Live, and we have managed to put our hands on it (thanks to pokeRangerCam, one of our Discord members) The Newsletter covers a variety of topics ranging from the recent addition of Research, the Pokémon GO Earth Day Cleanup, April Community Day (our guide here ), Gym Leader Avatar clothing, to a spotlight on Nidos Pokémon GO Argentina . However, the curious announcement we are referring to consists of three very short lines at the very end of the Newsletter. The announcement goes as follows: Trainers, starting April 10, we’ll be hosting a special celebration in honor of the Kanto region in Pokémon GO! Keep your eyes on the official Pokémon GO website and social media channels for more information surrounding this event. As we all know, it doesn’t take much for the Pokémon GO community to speculate, but such a vague statement certainly allows peo...
