In Pokémon GO, coinciding with the GO Fest in Dortmund, a large event has started. Various Pokémon are spawning more frequently in the wild.
What exactly is this event? We already know of such an event from the last GO Fest in Chicago. There, 19 Pokémon were found more frequently in the wild, all of which were also found at the GO Fest.
Now the GO Fest is taking place in Dortmund, and a similar event is happening worldwide as well. This will likely continue until the end of the GO Fest, which is this Sunday, July 7th.

As a reward from the quests, you will always receive the same 5 Pokémon, which will randomly come from the quest: male Nidoran, Magnemite, Scyther, Meditite, and Barschwa.
Here’s what else you can get with Bummelz: Since the Community Day with Bummelz faced major issues in Europe, there are currently also increased chances to catch Bummelz. Additionally, you can evolve the Pokémon into Letarking so that it learns the charged attack Bodyslam.
