Pokémon Go has a pretty solid slew of events, with new ones popping up all the time, but it’s not every day that you get the news that the mobile game is hosting a celebration for a new entry in the franchise. Pokémon Legends: Z-A is out in just a couple of weeks, and PoGo is here to hype you up for a grand adventure in Lumoise City.
The new Pokémon Go event features free and exclusive timed research, and, surprise, surprise, the Pokémon Legends: Z-A starters are present for it. You can get encounters with Tepig, Chikorita, and one of my favorite starter Pokémon, Totodile, and they even come with a special seasonal background, so you definitely want to catch ‘em all. If you get lucky, you might even find a shiny. As part of this research, the first partner you choose has a greater chance of appearing when you use daily adventure incense, so choose wisely.
Beyond that, you’ll notice a larger influx of mega Pokémon Go raids, so you can get yourself some of the strongest Pokémon. You may also want to put some extra emphasis on catching and evolving the three Z-A starters, as evolving Bayleef, Croconaw, and Pignite during the event results in you getting some incredible charged attacks for Meganium, Feraligatr, and Emboar. The moves in question are frenzy plant, hydro cannon, and blast burn.
