Celebrate all that Alola has to offer in the latest season of Pokemon GO
Another new season is upon us in Pokemon GO. This time we look back at the wonderful islands that make up the Alola Region. We already covered what new Pokémon can be found in this first part of the Season. You can find that here. This time I want to dive deeper into the various spawns that can be found in various biomes. Some timelines have also been outlined, so I will go over that as well.

Seasonal Bonuses
You may have heard that Incense got nerfed and doesn’t work as well when stationary. While this isn’t ideal, it will benefit those who can get up and move around. Incense has an increased effectiveness while moving during this time. Incense will last for 90 minutes too, so you don’t need to use as many while hunting down the newest Pokémon.
As usual, you can get guaranteed Gifts from spinning PokéStops. Also battling remotely in Raids will yield increased damage. If you have the luxury to go to Raids in person, you will get up to two Raid Passes per day by spinning Gym Photo Discs.
Nothing says Alola, like a Hawaiian style shirt. Look forward to new Trainer avatar items in the Style-Shop. This shirt will feature a lei, inspired by Comfey, a Pokémon found in the Alola Region.
