In Pokémon GO the Hisui event is coming soon. It is being significantly enhanced, as trainers were able to unlock the new Hyperbonus over the weekend.
What is a Hyperbonus? Last weekend, the local “GO Fest” in Seattle took place, which also featured a global challenge for all trainers around the world. The challenge was: Participate in a total of 15,000,000 raids.
This task was successfully completed over the weekend, unlocking the so-called “Hyperbonus”. This will now be used in the “Hisui Discoveries” event and provides it with some extra bonuses.
We will show you how the event is improved here.
Hisui-Washakwil makes its debut – Even shiny
This is the monster: Washakwil is already known from Pokémon GO, where it is the evolution of Geronimatz.
Now the Hisui variant of the great eagle is coming into play – the version known from Pokémon Legends: Arceus. The monster will be available in raids for the first time.
In addition, there will be a new raid tag under the motto “Hisui Discoveries.”
- The raid tag will take place on Sunday, July 31, 2022, from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM.
- There is an increased chance of XL candies in local raids.
- 50% more XP for winning raids.
- 5 free raid passes from gym photo discs – during the event and up to two hours after.
Additionally, the chance of encountering a shiny Hisui-Washakwil will be increased. A post on reddit shows how the shiny version looks:
Even more bonuses from the Hyperbonus
These bonuses are added: In addition to Hisui-Washakwil, Icognito S will also appear in raids during the event. There is also a chance of encountering a shiny, but the rate is not increased.
In addition, the regional Pokémon Sodamak will be available worldwide in raid battles and the wild. It can also be encountered as shiny.
It belongs to the regional monkey trio, and normally you only encounter Grillmak here. A promising opportunity to catch the regional monster – even if it is not one of the best attackers in Pokémon GO.
Furthermore, the Hyperbonus brings:
- A rapidly increasing friendship level through
- Opening gifts
- Trading Pokémon
- Raid battles
- Gym battles
- Trainer battles
- Space for up to 30 gifts in the bag until the end of the event
- The ability to open up to 45 gifts per day and send up to 150
When does the event start? The now improved “Hisui Discoveries” event starts on July 27, 2022, at 10:00 AM and ends on August 02, 2022, at 8:00 PM.
Overall, the event now offers several opportunities for shiny hunters. Do you like the bonus? Tell us in the comments!
As for events, Pokémon GO will likely not slow down in the future. What is planned for the future was discussed by the developers at Niantic in a recent interview.
