In Pokémon GO trainers have caught so many fairy Pokémon that starting Tuesday Pam-Pam will appear in the game. Additionally, you will receive triple experience points for catching Pokémon.
What kind of event is this? In Pokémon GO, the Xerneas event has been running since May 4th and will be active for two weeks. The developers from Niantic have put you trainers to the test. If the community succeeds in catching 500 million fairy Pokémon, further bonuses would be activated.
Now that the goal has been reached, Pam-Pam will be activated in the game starting May 11th. There will also be triple catching experience points and chances of encountering shiny Galar-Ponita.
Pam-Pam, XP and Shiny Galar Ponita as bonuses
This is the new Pokémon: You can encounter Pam-Pam in raids starting May 11th at 10:00 AM. This is the first time that this Pokémon appears in Pokémon GO. Pam-Pam is from Generation 6 and is a Fighting type. It will remain in raids until the end of the event on May 17th at 8:00 PM.
You can find the Pokémon in the foreground of the current loading screen of Pokémon GO, as it climbs up a tree trunk.
Furthermore, dataminers have already revealed 32 Pokémon from Gen 6 that are waiting in the game’s code. There you can also see Pam-Pam and its evolution Pandagro (Fighting and Dark).
Triple experience points: From May 11th at 10:00 AM until May 17th at 8:00 PM, you will receive triple experience points for catching Pokémon. This is a great help if you are on the way from Level 40 to Level 50.
A new shiny: Since May 1st, you can encounter Galar Ponita in field research breakthroughs in Pokémon GO. Starting May 11th, you have the chance to encounter shiny Galar Ponita. This chance will also remain active beyond the event. You can see what the shiny version looks like in the following graphic.
What you need to know: If you don’t want to spend your raid passes on Pam-Pam, there are other ways to catch the Pokémon. After the Xerneas event, an event with Yveltal will start in Pokémon GO. During this event, Pam-Pam can hatch from Weird Eggs.
So you will have more chances to catch the Pokémon. Its availability afterward remains unclear.
