In Pokémon GO, the big Psychic Spectacle has begun. There are new quests and special spawns. We will show you what’s happening at the event.
This is the Psychic Spectacle: The event was already announced at the beginning of March. All weekend long, until March 30 at 10:00 PM, you can benefit from Psychic bonuses.
Meanwhile, the event is live in most parts of the world, and we already know the quests and spawns. The raid bosses have also changed.
All about Shinys, Quests, and Spawns
These are the quests: There are a total of 4 quests to solve during the Psychic Spectacle. They include:
- Catch 5 Natu
- Reward: Encounter with a Puppance (can be Shiny)
- Evolve an Abra
- Reward: Encounter with a Lahmus
- Catch 10 Psychic type Pokémon
- Reward: 1000 Stardust
- Defeat a Team GO Rocket Grunt
- Reward: Encounter with a Woingenau
Particularly worthwhile is the quest “Catch 5 Natu”. There, you could be lucky enough to get a Shiny. Puppance has been found as a Shiny since the event, and the quest increases your chances of finding a shiny specimen.
Which Pokémon are coming out more frequently? Many Psychic Pokémon are appearing more frequently for the event. We give an overview of the most exciting spawns:
- Tanhel*
- Palimpalim
- Traumato*
- Owei
- Girafarig
- Flegmon
- Lunastein*
- Natu*
- Monozyto
- Mollimorba
- Spoink*
- Puppance*
- Abra
Particularly interesting are the spawns of Lunastein and Puppance. Lunastein is a quite rare Shiny, and Puppance is being found as a Shiny for the first time. So, take advantage of the opportunity.
Which Shinys are new? Only Puppance can be caught as a Shiny since the event started. There are no other new Shinys.
What raid bosses are there? The list of raid bosses has been significantly reduced. As a level 4 boss, there is only one Pokémon left: Metagross. This is probably due to the coronavirus, as 4-person raids typically require more than one account. To avoid the temptation to do such raids, they have been significantly reduced.
You can find the complete raid boss list here in the graphic:
| Raid Level | Raid Boss |
| Tier 1 – Pink Egg | Abra Flegmon Meditie* Spoink* Puppance* |
| Tier 2 – Pink Egg | Kokowei Girafarig Kirlia |
| Tier 3 – Yellow Egg | Psiana Lepumentas Alola Raichu* |
| Tier 4 – Yellow Egg | Metagross |
| Tier 5 – Black Egg | Voltolos, Kobalium |
How worthwhile is the event? For Shiny collectors, there is quite a lot available. If you want to fill your Pokédex, you should also secure some Monozyto and Mollimorba. For that, you need 125 candies each.
Keep in mind that due to the coronavirus, it is best to play from home. Light up incense and catch the monsters in front of your door. If you are diligent there, you will surely be able to bag a shiny or two.
Thanks to the increased balls, you will have enough resources to catch the numerous Psychic Pokémon.
Keep in mind that there is currently a risk of getting infected with the coronavirus. The Federal Center for Health Education recommends staying at home as much as possible, keeping a distance from others, and avoiding gatherings. Niantic has taken various measures so that you can play Pokémon GO from home .
