In Pokémon GO, the big Buddy Event is currently taking place and special Pokémon are appearing more frequently in the wild. We will show you 5 Pokémon that you should definitely secure.
This is the Buddy Event: Until Monday, April 27 at 10:00 PM, you will find special Pokémon in the wild and there are special bonuses regarding your Buddy Pokémon.
You can find all the info about the big Buddy Event here.
Some of the spawns in the event are really interesting and could become quite rare or even disappear once the event ends. We will show you which Pokémon you should secure.
The best Pokémon for the Buddy Event
Illumise: The most important Pokémon in the event is the regional Pokémon Illumise. This monster normally does not appear in Germany and now appears worldwide only because of the event.
Moreover, it can even be shiny. So you wanted to secure some specimens, because after the event, Illumise and especially its shiny version will no longer be accessible in Germany and will become quite rare.
Fleknoil: Before the Buddy Event, Fleknoil was only available for one month in research breakthroughs. Now this Pokémon is for the first time also available in the wild. After the event, it should continue to be found in the wild, but probably much less frequently than now.
You should take your chance to gather enough candies for an evolution. This way, you will have a full PokéDex and won’t have to rely on good spawns of Fleknoil later.
Alolan Meowth: This Pokémon is particularly interesting for shiny hunters. Normally, this Alolan Pokémon is not found in the wild, but that is different during the event.
So take the good chance to catch a shiny, because after the event, it can be obtained only much less frequently.
Chansey: This pink Pokémon is really only found more frequently during events. So go on a Chansey hunt to catch the rare shiny.
After the event, Chansey is expected to become much rarer again and the chance for a shiny will simultaneously be worse.
Barascuda: Currently, Barascuda is one of the most common Pokémon, and if you haven’t had enough candies to evolve it into a Milotic yet, you should take your chance now.
Furthermore, the chance of encountering a shiny Barascuda is quite high, as it is among the Pokémon with a higher shiny chance.
