It is time to evolve in Pokemon GO!
The first ever Evolution Event will be taking place in Pokemon GO starting on Thursday, December 5, 2019, at 1:00 p.m. to Thursday, December 12, 2019. If you were holding off on evolving some Pokemon then you are in luck! That is because you will gain plenty of experience just by evolving your Pokemon!
Below are some features for the event.
- Pokémon that evolve in unique ways—such as Onix, Eevee, Roselia, and Burmy—will be appearing more often in the wild, in raids, and in Field Research.
- Take on raids against Pokémon with unique Evolutions, like Lickitung, Scyther, Togetic, and Ralts!
- Find more 2 km Eggs that will hatch into Pokémon such as Tyrogue, Feebas, Burmy, and Happiny.
- Event-specific Field Research tasks that reward Evolution items, which can help you evolve certain Pokémon, will be available.
- If you’re lucky, you may encounter a Shiny Burmy!
Below are some bonuses from the Evolution Event.
- All Lure Modules will last one hour for the duration of the event, including the Glacial, Magnetic, and Mossy Lure Modules.
- 2× XP when evolving Pokémon
- Evolution items from raids
Evolution Event Raid Day
There will be a special Evolution Event Raid Day on Saturday, December 7, 2019, from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. in your timezone. This will give many trainers the chance to battle and collect candy for the Kanto Starter Trio. Just in time to hunt for a great Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle for the upcoming December Community Day.
Below is what you can expect from this raid day.
- Encounter Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle in one-star raids.
- Encounter Ivysaur, Charmeleon, and Wartortle in two-star raids.
- Encounter Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise in four-star raids.
- Receive up to five additional Raid Passes during the Raid Day time period when you spin a Photo Disc at a Gym. These Raid Passes will not be available after the event period is over. You cannot hold more than one Raid Pass at once.
Best of luck in evolving your favorite Pokemon during the Evolution Event!
