Currently, an event is taking place in Pokémon GO where you can catch a monster for the first time. You should take advantage of this opportunity.
What kind of event is this? Currently, in Pokémon GO the “Descending into the Depths” event is happening. There, you can obtain Lumispross for the first time, along with some strong attackers.
While collectors are already on the hunt for the new monster, you should also chase it if you are more interested in the combat aspect of the game. This could mean a useful investment in your future team.
Catch now, benefit later
Why is this monster worth it? The evolution of Lumispross, Lumiflora, shares the types Rock and Poison, just like its pre-evolution. In addition, Lumiflora has the possibility of undergoing a Mega Evolution.
Currently, there is no Mega Evolution available in the game. However, it will surely make its way to Pokémon GO in due time. That’s why it pays off to catch good Lumispross during the current event and keep them until the day Lumiflora’s Mega Evolution is unlocked.
According to current calculations, this Mega Evolution is expected to sneak its way to the top of the Rock attackers and will even take a place ahead of Mega Diancie, Crypto Rameidon, and other strong attackers of the type.
How strong the attacker could be is shown by a trainer on Reddit:
What should I look for when catching? The most important thing is that your Lumispross has as high IV values as possible if you want to use it later as a Mega attacker for raids. Ideally, it should have all 3 values at 15. Otherwise, hold on to the specimen with the highest IV values.
How to obtain Lumispross? You can find the monster until Sunday, February 1, 2026, at 8:00 PM on routes, in field research, as well as in both the free and paid limited research for the event.
If Mega Lumiflora appears and becomes one of the strongest Mega Evolutions in the game, it will surely bring joy to some trainers. This is not the case with other Mega Evolutions announced for the GO Tour 2026: New Mega Evolutions for GO Tour 2026 in Pokémon GO disappoint the community.
