Today the Water Festival starts in Pokémon GO, a new event. During this time you can catch certain Water-type Pokémon more frequently, as the name suggests.
In the next days, you can catch many cool monsters in Pokémon GO that will appear more frequently during the upcoming event. Niantic has announced that the Water Festival starts today and will make big waves.
You will likely find Squirtle and its friends more often in the next days, so make sure to clear up space for new monsters and have enough Poké Balls in your inventory.
First shiny Pokémon found in the game – They are here!
Water Festival with Water Pokémon
Get ready, because starting tonight at 9:00 PM German time, the Water Festival in Pokémon GO begins. During the event, you will find Magikarp, Squirtle, Croconaw, and their evolutions more frequently in the wild.
When you explore areas where Water Pokémon usually appear more often, you will also have a better chance of encountering those that were originally discovered in the Johto region. The developers also write in their announcement, “Maybe … you’ll even encounter Lapras.”
The hint from the developers about a higher chance for Lapras makes many trainers happy. An event with a higher chance for Lapras already took place in November 2016. However, that Lapras event was not worldwide, but only in the locations where a tsunami caused severe damage in 2011. At that time, players wished that such an event would also take place worldwide.
This time the event is actually worldwide and offers a higher chance for many Water-type Pokémon, not just a single one. Additionally, there is a new avatar clothing item for trainers – The Magikarp Hat!
Water Event Start and End
The Water Festival in Pokémon GO starts tonight at 9:00 PM and lasts until March 29 at 9:00 PM. So hurry up if you want to fill your Pokémon collection with Water-type Pokémon.
