Johto Holiday Event in December 2016

Johto Holiday Event in December 2016

Pokemon Go's last event of 2016 ran December 12, 2016 through December 29, 2016.
The Johto Holiday Update included numerous new Pokémon, including Pikachu donning a festive hat. Trainers may capture the festive Pikachu in the same way they would any other Pokémon. Niantic has announced that Pikachu with the festive hat will have a greater frequency rate than regular Pikachu. The limited-edition Pikachu was available from December 12 until December 29 at 11 a.m. PT. When you develop a Pikachu with the hat, the Raichu retains the hat.
 
Where to Find Santa Hat Pikachu
The other new Johto Pokemon do not have an event end date, however unlike Pikachu, they cannot be caught. You must hatch them. So far, six new Johto baby Pokemon and one new evolution have been confirmed.

'Pokémon Go' is wrapping out 2016 with a massive holiday extravaganza that will go through Christmas, Hanukkah, and the first few days of the new year. Without further ado, here's everything going on in Pokémon Go, as well as the days it's going on, according to a blog post from game creator Niantic.

From the morning of December 25th, 2016 through the afternoon of January 3rd, 2017:

  • "PokéStops will award one single-use Incubator each day after your first Photo Disc spin." In other words, the second PokéStop you hit on any given day will give up a one-time-only egg incubator. Which is good, because...
  • "As you visit PokéStops during this time period, there will be a greater chance of finding Eggs that hatch Togepi, Pichu, and several other recently found Pokémon." Niantic recently added a bunch of baby Pokémon, originally from the "Pokémon Gold and Silver" Game Boy games, that can only be found by hatching. During the holidays, it'll be easier to hatch them.
  • "Special Pikachu wearing festive hats will also be staying around a bit longer!" If you're lucky, you'll be able to catch one of the limited-time Pikachu wearing a Santa hat.

From the afternoon of December 30, 2016, through the afternoon of January 8, 2017 (PST):

  • "The first partner Pokémon and their Evolutions, originally discovered in the Kanto region, are more likely to be encountered." It's going to be way easier to catch fan-favorite monsters Squirtle, Wartortle, Blastoise, Charmander, Charmeleon, Charizard, Bulbasaur, Ivysaur, and Venusaur during this period.
  • "Lure Modules will also last for 60 minutes instead of 30 minutes."
Although many believe that Pokémon Go has peaked, the game still has millions of users worldwide. This is a lovely Christmas present for Pokémon fans, and it may be enough to entice lapsed players to return to the game.

Dewgong #087

Image
Biology Dewgong is a pure white, fluffy pinniped Pokémon. In icy weather, its fur makes it practically inconspicuous. It has two black eyes, a black nose, and two tusks that protrude from its upper jaw. It features a sleek body, two front flippers, and a long, flowing tail. Even in very cold and ice-packed waters, its tail permits it to swim at rates of up to 8 knots. A pointed horn on top of its head helps it to cut through the thickest ice floes. It dwells on icebergs floating in freezing ocean waters. It thrives in cooler conditions, becoming more active as the temperature drops. It is absolutely unaffected by even the most harsh cold conditions because it stores thermal energy inside its body. It rests on severely cold ice or beneath shallow water throughout the day. However, as the temperature lowers at night, it transforms into a hunter and seeks for prey such as Wishiwashi. It sunbathes on the beach after eating. This elevates its body temperature and facilitates digestion.

Water Festival 2018 Event

With the return of the Water Festival in Pokémon Go, be ready to take advantage of the summertime. The second Water Festival event has a lot of Water-type Pokémon to catch as well as a number of welcome trainer rewards, despite arriving a little later than it did last year. Water Festival 2018 Event is Here!   The 2018 Water Festival will start later today at 1 o'clock (PDT) and go through June 21. Water-type Pokémon like Magikarp and Wailmer will be much more common up to that point, while starter Pokémon like Totodile and Mudkip will now hatch from 2 kilometer Eggs. For any eggs born during the event, Trainers additionally get twice the normal amount of Candy and Stardust. Likewise, if you capture any Water-type creatures, you'll get three times as much stardust as usual. Water-types will also show up more often in Raid Battles in addition to event-specific Field Research tasks. Legendary Pokémon Kyogre also returns to Raids and, if you're exceptionall

Medicham #308

Image
Biology Medicham is a humanoid, bipedal Pokémon that resembles a yoga practitioner. It has a gray body with red and yellow adornments. A red headpiece with three bulb-like extensions covers the upper portion of its head: one on top and one on either side. The bulb on top is short on a female Medicham. Its large, focused eyes are slightly covered by the headpiece, and its red lips seem to be in a rounded or puckered position. Its legs appear to be covered with puffy, red pants that have a large yellow spot on the knees and yellow bands next to the hips. As Mega Medicham, its headpiece now resembles a white turban with a yellow stone in the center. The red extension in the back is retained, and there are five white extensions on the turban, three extending from the stone and one on either side of its head. There is now a gold band on each wrist and additional gold bands around its waist. Several blue, teardrop-shaped decorations hang from the lowest hip band. Using its enhanced wi
