In Pokémon GO the event “Sparkling Fantasy” is running from today, January 10th, bringing you a lot of encounters with Dragon and Fairy Pokémon. We at MeinMMO have looked at which of these are particularly worthwhile.
What event is it? Just in time for the start of the event “Sparkling Fantasy”, you will also find plenty of thematically appropriate spawns in Pokémon GO. In the wild, in raids, and in research, you can encounter a variety of Fairy and Dragon Pokémon.
Some of them are really worth it, which is why you shouldn’t miss your chance to catch them. We have summarized which ones they are and why you should definitely catch them.
These 8 monsters you shouldn’t miss
What does the ranking show? In the following ranking, we show you 8 Pokémon that are particularly worthwhile for the “Sparkling Fantasy” event due to strong evolutions, their rarity, or their shinies. The order is based on where you can find them during the event.
1. Trasla
Why is the Pokémon worthwhile? Trasla is a Psychic and Fairy Pokémon from Generation 3 that can evolve into two powerful monsters: Galagladi and Guardevoir.
Both are among the best Psychic attackers in Pokémon GO due to their high attack values and strong movesets . Guardevoir can also shine as one of the best Fairy attackers in raids.
Where can you find it during the event? Trasla will be available in the wild during the “Sparkling Fantasy” event. With a bit of luck, you may even encounter a shiny version.
2. Togetic
Why is the Pokémon worthwhile? Another monster you should secure is Togetic. This Fairy and Flying Pokémon from Generation 2 can evolve into Togekiss, which, along with Guardevoir, is one of the best Fairy attackers in the game. Furthermore, Togekiss can score in the Master League.
Where can you find it during the event? Like Trasla, Togetic can also be found in the wild throughout the event. Keep an eye out for a shiny version as well.
3. eF-eM
Why is the Pokémon worthwhile? The Flying and Dragon Pokémon eF-eM is one of the monsters that you see only relatively rarely in Pokémon GO. Since it recently also has a shiny variant and beyond that has a solid evolution with UHaFnir, you shouldn’t miss your chance.
Where can you find it during the event? During the “Sparkling Fantasy” event, you will find eF-eM in the wild with a bit of luck. However, unlike monsters like Trasla or Togetic, it will spawn a bit less frequently.
4. Kapuno
Why is the Pokémon worthwhile? With Kapuno, you can secure a strong Dark and Dragon Pokémon in the coming days. The small monster from Generation 5 can evolve into Trikephalo, one of the best Dark attackers in Pokémon GO.
Where can you find it during the event? Until January 16, 2023, you can find Kapuno in the wild and in level 1 raids. Be on the lookout for a shiny version as well.
5. Dedenne
Why is the Pokémon worthwhile? Dedenne is an Electric and Fairy Pokémon from Generation 6 that visually resembles a small yellow mouse. The monster has no pre-evolutions or evolutions and is not particularly strong.
As part of the event, it celebrates its shiny debut, which will particularly please shiny hunters. So, if you don’t want to miss out on the shiny variant, be on the lookout for a brown specimen.
Where can you find it during the event? You can find Dedenne during the event in the wild, in research tasks, and in level 3 raids.
6. Milza
Why is the Pokémon worthwhile? You will get a strong Dragon Pokémon when you catch Milza. The small green monster from Generation 5 has an evolution in Maxax that ranks among the 10 best Dragon attackers in the game.
Moreover, Milza, like eF-eM, is a rather rare monster in the game and you can only find it outside of events with a fair amount of luck. Since the GO Fest last year, you can also catch the little dragon in its shiny form.
Where can you find it during the event? Milza can be found in level 1 raids during the “Sparkling Fantasy” event.
Where you can encounter Milza after the event and what else you should know about the little dragon, we have summarized for you in the following article:
7. Zekrom
Why is the Pokémon worthwhile? Zekrom is a legendary Electric Pokémon from Generation 5 that has no pre-evolutions or evolutions. Due to its high attack value and strong moveset, it is among the best Electric attackers in Pokémon GO.
If you catch the monster by January 18, 2023, it will receive the event attack Cross Thunder, which deals considerable damage in raids and gym battles.
Where can you find it during the event? During the event, Zekrom defends the level 5 raids. A perfect opportunity to encounter the legendary Pokémon is the raid hour on January 11 with Zekrom.
By the way: To quickly defeat Zekrom in battle, you should choose the right attackers. These counters you should use against Zekrom.
8. Mega-Brutalanda
Why is the Pokémon worthwhile? The game receives a new Mega Evolution with the start of the “Sparkling Fantasy” event: Mega-Brutalanda. This is a temporary evolution of the Dragon and Flying Pokémon Brutalanda, which can evolve from Kindwurm.
Brutalanda is already among the best Dragon attackers in Pokémon GO. With its Mega Evolution, it is now even stronger and should not be missed in your team.
Where can you find it during the event? Mega-Brutalanda will be available in Mega Raids throughout the event. After the victory, you will receive a certain amount of Mega Energy as well as an encounter with Brutalanda. If you have gathered enough energy, you can evolve your Mega yourself from it.
Here we show you the best attackers against this Mega Pokémon.
By the way: To increase your chances of a strong specimen, you can also find a lot of Kindwurm in the wild and in field research over the next few days. You can then evolve this into Brutalanda. Both Kindwurm and Brutalanda can also be caught in their shiny forms with a bit of luck.
We have summarized more strong attackers in Pokémon GO in the following video.
