In Pokémon GO the event “Sparkling Fantasy” has started today and delights Trainers with numerous contents. We at MeinMMO have looked into why the community is celebrating the event so much and explain it to you.
What kind of event is it? One of the first events in Pokémon GO this year is the “Sparkling Fantasy” event. It started today, on January 10, 2023, and revolves around Dragon and Fairy Pokémon. For this reason, you can also find plenty of them in the game.
Although Niantic has faced criticism from the community in recent months due to numerous bugs and changes in the game, the developers seem to have done some things right with this event, as the event contents are being celebrated by many trainers.
How long does the event last? “Sparkling Fantasy” started today, on January 10, 2023, and runs until January 16, 2023, at 10:00 PM local time.
What is so good about the “Sparkling Fantasy” event?
What contents are included? While the events in the past weeks mostly featured interesting monsters for the costume and shiny collection, Niantic is now focusing again on strong Pokémon.
So you can find plenty of rare Dragons like Sliggoo, Dratini, eF-eM, or Bagon in the game, all of which have strong evolutions. Additionally, they can also be caught in their shiny forms with a bit of luck. With the release of Mega-Altaria, another strong attacker comes into play.
And shiny hunters can also fully enjoy this event and can even look forward to a completely new shiny specimen with Dedenne. So it’s not surprising that trainers are excited about these contents.
A selection of the best attackers in Pokémon GO is shown in the following video:
Are there any cool bonuses? Yes, in addition to the numerous spawns, there are various XP and candy bonuses that trainers can secure from good, great, and excellent throws. In particular, the chance for additional XL candies is very sought after.

Criticism of the event: However, not all trainers are completely satisfied with the contents of the event. Some hoped for additional bonuses for a perfect event. Others, on the other hand, were hoping for different monsters (via twitter.com):
- DJ_G2N: “I had hoped that Flabébé would spawn during this event because I haven’t seen this Pokémon much since it appeared in PoGO.”
- PkmMasterStefan: “It would be very nice… if we could just use a normal Charged TM so that Altaria learns ‘Outrage’ like during the Illumining Legends X event in May 2021.”
- AztheticMP: “I just wish there were Kaumalat spawns, because since C-Day, there has been no good way to get XL for that.”
