Get ready, Pokémon GO trainers! The much-anticipated Beloved Buddies event is set to launch, bringing with it surprise debuts, exciting bonuses, and thrilling raid battles. This event is your chance to deepen your connection with your Pokémon, and you won't want to miss out on the action.
When Is the Beloved Buddies Event Kicking Off in Pokémon GO?
Mark your calendars! The Beloved Buddies event is scheduled to run from February 11th to February 15th. This is your opportunity to strengthen your bonds with your Pokémon companions. The highlight of the event is the debut of Dhelmise, the Sea Creeper Pokémon. Catch it and prepare to battle it in raids!
During the event, you'll enjoy double XP for catching Pokémon, and Lure Modules will last a full hour. These Lures will attract a variety of Pokémon, including Diglett, Slowpoke, Shellder, Dunsparce, Cutiefly, and Fomantis. Catching any of these will reward you with an extra 500 Stardust per catch.
The event also boosts the appearance rates of certain wild Pokémon. Keep an eye out for Shiny Diglett and Shiny Dunsparce, which will be more frequent. Other Pokémon you can expect to see more often include Nidoran, Diglett, Slowpoke, Shellder, Dunsparce, Remoraid, Mantine, Plusle, Minun, Volbeat, Illumise, Cutiefly, and Fomantis.
Raids during the Beloved Buddies event offer a mix of challenges. One-star raids will feature Shellder, Dwebble, and Skrelp, with an increased shiny rate for Skrelp. Three-star raids will introduce Slowbro, Hippowdon, and the debuting Dhelmise. For those looking for a bigger challenge, five-star raids will showcase Enamorus in its Incarnate Forme, while Mega Raids will bring the formidable Mega Tyranitar.
